Trip prices dropped!

How frustrating! We just started looking at airline costs and it is going to be $1,069.00 for the two of us round trip from Seattle to Cancun for August 2010. We are so excited to get everything finished and booked but at the same time we are wondering if we should wait and look at tickets the next couple of months....??

Prices in Canada are stupidly high for airline fees usually. We get bent over all the time when it comes to pricing because there's just not the competition that the US has. As for the OP... honestly? Its a crap shoot and there's just no way to know. For our weding, the best thing we did was hassle our guests to book immediately on the group rate. The regular rate was 300-400 more per person (depending on departure location) after our group rate expired. We looked online on our own for ages trying to get a better price and there wasn't one to be found. In addition, because our group is (almost) all booked with Signature, we get 1 free trip and the peace of mind of knowing that our TA has the whole group's bookings done together in case of something crazy happening to our trip.... like the swine flu craziness from earlier this year that cancelled flights!

Oh and always check expedia.ca they always have sales and i've never had problems booking through them. Check maybe one a month, my trip was almost 1/2 price when checking in July vs Nov for a Jan wedding.

We still haven't booked our travel yet for our July wedding at Dreams Cabo and I am starting to freak out!!

I've sort of been talking to 3 agents. It seems that if there is any kind of early booking bonus, we have only about a week or two to pay in full. Or the latest quote I got allowed us 3 days to pay in full! WTF? I wouldn't have even been able to get the info out to my guests in that short of time.

The one agent seems VERY confident that we should NOT book with Sunquest and that if we wait, we will still have no trouble booking Dreams for July through another tour operator.

I am seriously doubting it though ..... I don't know what to do. Obviously the cheaper, the better. Right now, it's going to be about $2000 per person, maybe a little more. If waiting means even $200 less, that is at least something, but I am not sure it's worth the risk.

Blaaaahhh.... thanks for listening to me vent!

We found great deals on Orbitz and Expedia
