Hi, first time posting, hope this is the right place :)

I need to book a work trip from BNE in mid-March, ideally multi-city from BNE to JFK/LGA and then back ORD to BNE. Just yesterday, the premium economy fares were running about $4,200 for this journey, and I sought approval but didn't hear back until today. And now the exact same dates/times/route is $5,600.

This was quite a shock and I'm not sure I will get it approved at this price! So back to economy for me. Does anyone have any insight into whether that kind of sale is over and never to return? Or would it be worth the risk to wait? It is still more than three months away, but I realise it could continue to go up as well.

Any advice from the experts would be appreciated.
