Advice on booking to Europe Easter Week

The flights are just opening up now for Easter week. We're looking at high 500s for Paris, Rome etc.

Should we book now or are prices likely to fall?

If prices fall, will we be allowed to rebook w/o penalty?

Excuse me, but Easter was two weeks ago. Are we speaking 2005 ?

Historically I've gotten low fares to Europe during Easter, especially if it's in March (I don't know when it is in 2005). If you do book now, you can always get a voucher for the diference if fare drops.

Someone else can problem tell you the exact ins and outs on this and I certainly don't know how all major airlines work, but with UA I've never had a problem getting a voucher when a fare has dropped for my specific flight and dates of travel. I booked a November trip to Costa Rica in February. The fare's gone down twice since that I know of and I've gotten two vouchers.
