 LAX to BOS for late November: when to buy a ticket
I potentially want to go from LAX to BOS, leaving on a Friday night
and returning midday on Sunday. I've done a little looking around at
prices, and I'm probably gong to pay about $550.00. Since I won't
know until the last minute if I really need to go (because I get
invited to an interview in my academic field's annual conference--
otherwise I wasn't going this year), I'm inclined to wait until the
last minute. I usually spend longer at this conference, wherever it
is held, but this year I have constraints and it would be preferable
to skip the whole thing. So, my questions are two. Will the last
minute price likely be a lot higher than this $550? Second, if, by
chance I can get an aisle seat right now, what are the chances of
still doing that the week of the flight (e.g., I'm flying on Friday
and buy my ticket on the preceding Monday)? I know I'll be crammed
into a tiny space for eight hours no matter what, so I need an aisle
seat so I don't get too claustrophobic. Thanks for suggestions.
