Holiday prices, are they to go up or down?

im confused, i keep hearing flight prices are to go up cos of the rising fuel prices, so what do i do?

i need a holiday but am not sure when the right time to book it.

    It could go both ways.They could go up because of the fuel prices,but if people shy away because of that,the holiday company's would have plenty of Hols on their hands,therefore will want to get rid ov them cheaply.

    ince mon is absolutely right - there is no way of predicting what prices will do. If you find a holiday at a price you are happy with then book it and don't bother to check the prices again after you have booked.
