I work for an airline ....so hopefully I can provide a little insight and knowledge to help you out. Generally speaking, airlines prices are based on availability. They essentially begin selling out their lowest fares first, so the closer to the flight, and the more seats sold = higher cost. There is always the exceptions when it comes to seat sales. Seat sales however come far less frequently during the summer as its a peak travel season, and a better chance of selling the flights at regular fares. Always go directly to the airlines website. Orbitz is crap.....they cant offer you anything different then the airlines directly can. Quite often times (with the airline I work for) Orbitz misquotes and offeres the customer a lower price then is actually even available, and the booking therefore cannot be confirmed. Also, try signing up to get notification of seat sales directly from the airlines....I know American Airlines sends these and its quite helpful. Sometimes last minute Net fares are really good too....that is if you are lucky enough to have it placed on your particular market of interest.
