Tickets to Costa Rica, what would you do?
Need 3 tickets to CR around Xmas time, they are VERY expensive ($900-1000/pp) from our home base, CMH. However, I noticed that Spirit Airlines flies to CR for relatively cheap from FLL($425/pp). Too early to book Xmas flights on Spirit, too early to book on SW or AirTran CMH-FLL. Here is the stinger - do I take a chance and wait, or do I respond to the rising fuel prices and pay beaucoup bucks right now? What would you do? Any alternatives I haven't thought out? Thanks!

Get a Crystal Ball.....
The point is that nobody and I mean NOBODY can predict what is going to happen in 6 months or even in 3 months. What if there is a total blow up in middle east next month? and the oil prices surge to $200 or more? or perhaps there is calm and peace and the oil prices drop down to $50?
Buy your ticket when you're comfortable with the price and don't look back.....
btw, Costa Rica is a great, beautiful, exotic, fun place to visit.

Spirit does not fly out of Columbus, Ohio, so that presents a problem of buying a separate ticket and thus paying about the same fare by the time you add it all together that you can pay if dealing with only one airline or airline alliance.
