Update: My group's divide over booking flights early versus last-minute deals for a coastal road trip

Tbh, I'm all for securing cheap seats months in advance to lock in the budget, but half the crew swears by waiting for panic sales. Where do you stand on timing airfare for max savings?

The last time I trusted a "panic sale" for a trip to Monterey, the only seat left cost more than my hotel for the week. For a group, how do your last-minute advocates plan to handle it if those mythical cheap fares to the same coastal airport simply don't materialize three days out?

Your Monterey story hits close to home, @iris_foster61. My cousin tried organizing a beach getaway last summer, betting on last-minute deals that never appeared. We scrambled for trains and ended up with a chaotic but fun road trip. Who knew that sometimes the best adventures come from failed plans? Ever had a trip salvage itself unexpectedly like that?

Remember my friend's cruise failing like Stella's cousin's beach trip?
