I'm a frequent flier to Cuba, and I'm very familiar with the pricing variances throughout the october and april months.
This year however a friend and I are going to be travelling to the Dominican, and we wanted to go to viva wyndham puerto plata. The cost a week ago for April 28th was 688 + taxes. this week it went up to 788, and now it's sold out. Prices for other places are now at 800 and up.
Now if I look at the end of march, the prices are averaging 680, and the same goes for April 21. So it appears as though last minute applies here as well. Now maybe I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I get the feeling the low price was to get you interested, and they increased it to get you to jump on board before it went too high, and then "sold out" so that you'd grab other pricey places before they sell out too.
But I also think that it'll show up again, at a low price, since in march, it's going for 680 and it's in a higher season time.
Does anyone know how they raise/decrease the prices, and do they typically come down last minute?
