I never ever book upfront. If you have strong nerves then I say WAIT. Four weeks prior to leaving for Fuerteventura last month I watched the prices drop from all airports dramatically, and I eventually picked up a flight from Bristol for £79 return and that included everything, taxes, fuel supplement etc. Ok so there were only two of us, so I suppose it could make a difference with a larger party, but you can still afford to wait until after christmas and see what happens. Good luck!

Hi, well I finally settled on 1st - 15 March 2008 with First Choice as their price was the best at £1200, with meals and 20kg baggage allowance each - some were only offering 15kg with £90 for us all to upgrade to 20kg. Strange but for some reason I was drawn to book there and then even though it was after midnight and their site closed down at 1am, I thought prices were going to rise. I am glad I did book there and then because the following day I went back to check prices and there were no First Choice seats left on the Thomas Cook flight. I had already booked the appartment for us so pleased we managed to get seats. However, I have been told March is an extremely popular month as it is the Festival/Carnival season in Fuerteventura, so probably in other circumstances I would of waited.
Myhusband and I have just come back from a last minute cheap holiday to Fuerteventura and that cost us total of £362 (accommodation/flights), so if it was just for us two I would book at the last minute.

Hi,
The time you booked is carnival in Correlejo and the place is full. If you had waited, you might not have got anything at all. :)
