Of course comes added positioning costs, which is not necessarily cheap around Christmas, but at least there's some time to wait for fares to hit a sweet spot.
from what i read with other cases like these; always try to book through the carriers website instead of the cheapest OTA.
for example; last weeks AC Flash sale from AMS/DUS to YVR/SFO is still honoured with those who booked on ACs website. Some OTAs have "pro-actively" canceled the tickets based on the fact that it was a very very low fare.
So pay the extra couple of bucks, or take a chance that your ticket might be canceled.
Orbitz i believes offers a 24h cancalation period, so that might be worth something.
