That is what I was going to say! You asked if it was risky? Yes it is. If you MUST be on THOSE flights open up your checkbook, the price is probably only going up from here!
But, I could be wrong... no way to predict really.
I have a post a week or so ago asking about award availability from ORD to DFW on a specific date in
June. Since I do have a flexible schedule I found dates in April that worked better.
Good luck, hope it works out for you!
