Speaking of airlines lowering prices. I need to book a flight from ORD-ATL on Jan 14-16. The price is $262 round trip. I recently booked the same itinerary on different dates for about $210. Farecompare says the price should drop by about $50 within the next couple days. I'm thinking the price will drop after the new year, but that will be less than 14 days.

Should I buy now or take a chance that the price will drop?

Thanks!
