Should I keep my outgoing flight and hotel awards and keep searching for the return flight everyday for the next 30 days or cancel the planned trip? I know the return is very expensive because of the busy holiday peak season.
Thanks
It's peak time, I wouldn't expect to see anything until a day or two before departure when they dump any remaining seats.
