double-blind study - an experimental procedure in which neither the subjects of the experiment nor the persons administering the experiment know the critical aspects of the experiment; a double-blind procedure is used to guard against both experimenter bias and placebo effects.
No they get more expensive, airlines will always advise you to book in advance to take advantage of their best fares. Sometimes they do a special deal but not within a week of flying. I would try another airline or make different plans.
On most airlines, flights open up for sale 331 days in advance. That is the earliest you can book a flight â about 11 months in advance. We found that for about four months from that time, domestic fares tended to stay pretty steady, and pretty high. That makes sense.
