This is a ticket I would have purchased three weeks ago if available, but I am flying to Prague instead. A similar scene played out this Labor Day weekend to price drops in August with an all alliance fare war to Germany and Central Europe, followed by ticket price drops a couple days later to Baltic cities.
Fare Alert California to Germany-Central Europe $360-$450 all alliances many cities (Sep 2).
