are there any cheap flights from houston to pittsburgh?
usually flights in this category cost around 300 or less, but now its 400 for the cheapest for a dec 18 - jan 2 flight. Why is it so costly now, and would I be better off waiting a bit to buy a ticket or just take the 400 one now. I've done this similar flight before for a 100 dollars less so I'm confused why it's so expensive NOW. just to add, the thing is i have flown this same time for about 4 yrs...with nowhere near the same fares. thats why i'm so confused. but i guess i'll just watch and wait.

The reason why you're seeing the prices increase for your specific dates is because you're trying to fly during the busiest travel period of the year (the Christmas and New Years' period). You will, in all likelihood, not be better off waiting to purchase your ticket -- airlines realize that this is an extremely high-demand period and have little incentive to reduce prices. Your best options right now are either to buy the ticket you want or see whether moving your travel dates a little will help. (I'd venture that the date that is causing your price to go high is the January 2 return date -- a Sunday immediately following a holiday is usually very busy and more expensive. Moving that date to the 3rd, for example, might result in a lower fare.)

One site may be slightly lower than another but the supply and demand economic rule applies to all financial transactions…..make your purchase on reliability and common sense……what will work for you…….and……..your travel requirements…..always use trusted and ethical travel sites…….yahoo travel…….orbitz……travelocity……expidea or club type membership….AAA or AARP. Take a moment to make sure a cheap ticket is worthwhile and reliable……..I can’t recommend any one site…….its up to you to search and decide what is right for you. If you see what appears to be a good deal … grab it…don’t worry if the price goes up our down a little bit next week……

Just as Nako mentioned, you are selecting travel dates around Christmas time. After the first week of December, ticket prices tend to steadily rise and get especially expensive the few days surrounding Christmas. Ailines know that passengers want to be home for the holidays and are willing to spend more money during that time. I suggest you buy now before the ticket prices go up. Another option is to see if Southwest has anything.
