Okay So Im Planning To Go To CA For Spring Break (from HI) And I Was Just Wondering When It Would Be Best To Purchase A Ticket? Do Prices Initially Get Cheaper As The Departure Date Approaches, Or Do They Get More Expensive?
Is There Any Other Advice Anyone Can Give About Getting A Really Cheap Flight? (i'm On A Very Tight Budget) Thanks!

It's Just That I've Noticed That Dates Closer To Today Are Wayyy Cheaper.
