Sometimes, the cost of the flight will go up one week, and down the next. If you are a bit flexible, traveling a day early or a day later can sometimes cut the airfare in half. Although I have many frequent flyer miles, normally I have to use double the miles to get a free ticket on Continental even if I book the trip almost 1 year in advance.
