> I am planning a spring break trip to the Caribbean in mid-March and I keep seeing round-trip flights under 200 dollars from New York right now. Every travel blog says January is when the real deals drop, but these fares look good already and I am worried they will climb once the holidays pass. I can be flexible on dates by a few days and I do not mind a 6 AM departure. For people who have actually booked spring break flights before, is it smarter to lock in a sub-200 fare now or gamble on January?

> Lock in the sub-200 fare now

> Book it. A sub-200 round trip to the Caribbean in March is already a good fare, and the January drop people talk about mostly applies to domestic routes, not spring break islands. Fares to the Caribbean climb hard after New Year when everyone starts planning at once. Set a price alert and check once a week, but if your exact dates are under 200, grab them and stop watching. The 6 AM departure is the real discount here, use it.
