I am now trying to book the same flight again. I've been looking at google flights since late November, but the prices are just ridiculous, with no sign of falling. Even when flexible with dates, the cheapest economy ticket is over $1.5K. Is this a normal thing or are prices expected to fall?
All flights to europe are up about as much. Demand seems very high so I don't see this changing any time soon.
