Hellow fellow Canadians,

Can anyone pass along some advice on the best strategy for booking a flight home? I am currently living in Italy (Rome, Florence, Pisa area) and would like to fly home this summer. I have found that booking a few months ahead of the date usually gives me great price advantage. However this year I noticed that prices are rather high. Would this be due to the current market situation? Last year I found roundtrip flights for € 400 which included all taxes about 1 month before my flight date and it was for July - high season. This year I began in February and the prices are on average € 800 for end of July flights.   Any comments.

Thanx in advance. Much appreciated. Toscanad
