airfares next month. rick seaney - ceo of farecompare- dot-com - says ticket prices should drop between 10 and 20- percent. that would be a big relief for flyers because overall ticket prices rose over the past two years. you should see fares drop at the end of august. kids are going back to school, so that's a slower time for airlines. because of that, prices normally drop a little at that time of year. plus, rick seaney says that demand this summer hasn't been as strong as expected... so carriers aren't increasing prices because there isn't enough demand to support it. we took a look at some specific fares... a roundtrip ticket from newark to los angeles will cost 533-dollars for thursday to sunday travel in mid-august. but it drops almost 100-dollars if you go in mid-september instead. with that in mind, you should shop now for flights in september and october. sites tend to have their best deals if you buy between tuesday and thursday. maybe now's the time for your much-needed vacation.
