US East Coast Flights

Flights to Baltimore and Washington are currently coming out at £800 each for a 2 week trip in late October. Is it worth hanging on a bot longer to book in the expectation they may ease off later in the year?

    Where are you looking? A quick browse on BA shows that for two weeks towards the end of October, the most expensive flight is £674 return to Washington and the cheapest is £500.
