The lowest price available now is $314, about $25 more than to SFO (well worth it!). But I'm wondering whether I should wait a while for a fare sale or just go ahead and book the tickets. Does Horizon ever offer introductory fares on new routes?
Yes they do....but since its still a ways out, I wouldn't count on an intro fare until we get closer in, maybe January. More bang for advertising dollars when its closer to when you actually start service. You want to keep market awareness.
