An easy way to save big on airline travel

From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire:

Save big on your holiday travels plans using www.bing.com. When booking your flight through the travel section, the site automatically gives you a price prediction. When you search for a flight, the price predictor will show a color-coordinated rating ranging from green ("buy") to red ("wait"). Green means fares are likely to increase, and red means fares are likely to decrease. Bing will even give an estimate of how much fares could shift.

We checked on a few Thanksgiving flights. Ticket fares from Washington D.C. to Denver will likely increase as the holiday approaches. But if you're flying from Atlanta to Philadelphia, the price predictor shows fares could drop $46 (for one roundtrip ticket).
