  Travelers are better off waiting to book award trips this fall or winter, said Tom Parsons, founder of BestFares.com.
  
  "This would be a good time to be checking to see what your options are for the holidays," Parsons said.
  ...
  Parsons said fliers who wait until the fall to make award reservations will enjoy lower mileage requirements for their award travel, because airlines have less demand for popular award travel destinations such as Hawaii.
  
  Those willing to hunt around and be flexible with travel dates may be surprised at the availability around Thanksgiving and Christmas, he said.

  BestFares.com president Tom Parsons said that in 2008, the big "legacy carriers" like American Airlines Inc., United Airlines Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. didn't launch a single airfare sale, only matching those of competitors.
  
  "This year, though, we're seeing United, American and Delta jumping up among the front runners," Parsons said.

  Fares to many European and Asian cities are much lower than a year ago, he said.
  
  "When it comes to international, it's going to be dirt cheap," Parsons said.
  
  He's finding the lowest summer fares to Europe right now are to cities in Germany. He's advising travelers to fly into Germany and drive, take a train or pick up a cheap flight from there to more expensive destinations like Prague, Warsaw or Vienna.

  Still, as recession-battered airlines continue to cut flights in an effort to boost demand, fares will start to creep up, predicts Tom Parsons of Bestfares.com.
  
  "If you have a flexible schedule, keep an open mind and go when it's cheap," Parsons said.

  "The business travelers aren't coming back, and if they are coming back, they're flying on the cheap stuff," said Tom Parsons, founder and chief executive of bestfares.com.
  
  Fares were lower earlier this year, before airlines slashed flights. Several airlines have been able to raise prices in recent weeks without driving away customers. Still, Parsons said prices are much lower than they were a year ago when the travel industry was dealing with high fuel prices.
  
  How to get a deal: Be flexible and do your homework. If you can't find the fares you want out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, try airports in Akron, Pittsburgh and Columbus. Keeping dates flexible helps as well. Parsons said he expects to see a lot of discounted fares to Florida in January, after the holidays have ended.
