I am hoping to go home LAX-LHR-MAN for Christmas this year. Does anybody have any advice as to when ticket prices for this time of year come down a bit? Currently its approx $850 and i need two tickets(would like to go on AA and avoid stopping in any east coast airport due to poss weather options) so this is my only route really (would consider CDG). Of course i want to be able to stay for as long as possible so my dates are quite rigid (12/21-1/2).

Yes, i know that if i want to go so bad i should just pay the price but i just wondered if anyone knows if they come down after a certain time, for example around summer??

Thanks for the help
