Hi sorry if this is the wrong place to post (its only my 2nd post so please be gentle if its not ii) )

Last year we were lucky enough to be able to fly PE and loooooved the whole experience

This year for the same dates (departing beginning of December around 5th returning 28ish the flights are nearly £200 per person more plus we also have to pay for our toddler who has just turned 2)

As there are now 5 of us I honestly don't think we can justify paying PE fares compared to what Economy is priced at as its literally double, but the thought of flying economy makes me feel :$ :$

I check the flight prices several times a day in the hope there might be a decent sale so my questions is (sorry for waffling got there eventually!) should I just book economy now and cry from now until December or holdout in the hope there might be a decent sale coming up

Not sure if I makes a difference but 3of us our silver members but the other 2 are not old enough for a miles card.

Many thanks and sorry if I've waffled :X

The short answer is no-one knows when the next sale will be - if we did, no-one would book at full price!

There will almost certainly be at least one sale between now and then but whether it'll include your route on the dates you want, again no-one can tell.

Of course there's also every chance that fares will rise as the flights gradually fill up so booking now would at least guarantee protection against that.

Your silver status doesn't afford you any discounts I'm afraid - only extra miles and the opportunity to use PE check-in if you fly economy.

We're in the same situation for November. Keep holding off hoping for a sale but at the same time worrying the price may go up!

Do you have any miles at all?

Would it be worth booking Economy and upgrading to PE or upgrading in the sale when that comes around?

It might not be an option for you but something I would consider doing.

Good luck though!!
