Toronto to San Diego
So im planning a trip from May 23rd to June 6th.
Ive been looking at prices lately and United prices dropped from $580 to $525 and today to $483. its almost a $100 over a week. Do you guys think it will drop even more?
also Air canada prices dropped from $580 to $530ish.
Wonder why the price drops, any idea?
And also is there any other websites i should check to get good deals?
im using ITA software by google

Well,
if you don't mind a bus to BUF, you can probably get a cheaper fare from there. A couple of threads in BT forum on this.
Prices go up and down, but generally speaking go up as travel date approaches. If you book on united.com as a MP member you should be able to cancell your ticket within 24 hours, or you can use FareLock in case you think fare may drop some more but are afraid it will go up.

Generally, miles earned don't expire and a free domestic ticket starts at about 25,000 miles. Sooner or later you'd earn one.
If you like the idea of the benefits from earned status (United's Mileage Plus program and others), you would probably have to do an extra mileage run or two each year to keep yourself in the low tier. You'd also have to stick with one airline, and occasionally that would cost you a few $$. Your choice.
