Prices have hovered around $1000 round trip for direct roundtrip flights. In the past Ive seen them be around $700. Any reason why they've stayed high for months? Would you wait and risk it going up or book it at around $1000?

Chicago has always been a pretty pricey city to fly to, but I can't think of any particular reason why the direct flights would be higher than usual. It always just comes down to supply, demand, and the amount of competition. Westjet flying there now should help at some point, hopefully.
I never like to make predictions when it comes to airfare, because I don't think it's possible. All I can say is that personally, I'm usually comfortable watching up to about 8 weeks before departure to a U.S. destination in hopes of something better, without too much fear of a price jumping up on me.
