What is a decent rate from LAX to Cancun right now??

Well my wedding is not till next June, but I am stressin over how expensive flights are with the freakin airline and gas crisis!

This past June, FI and I paid $420 each for direct flights from LAX to CUN for our site visit. Now, a direct flight went from $570 on Saturday to about $620 today. WTF?

So over the weekend I sent a group rate request to Alaska Airlines, and yesterday I received a quote for $550 direct flight roundtrips. It would be immediate family -- about 25 of us -- traveling on this particular reservation. I have until tomorrow to lock in...but do you think that's a reasonable rate or is there a likely chance it might get lower?? Or should I jump on it now?

TA's or ladies: Is a $550/pp, direct flight RT from LAX to Cancun a decent price??

hi there

my wedding is next June also. We just got quotes from our TA for nonstop flights for $450 from LA.

10JUN Alaska #240 LAX-CUN 9:32am - 4:04pm

18JUN Alaska #241 CUN-LAX 4:54pm - 8:27pm

(including taxes)

Geez, that does seem like a lot. We are also flying Alaskan Airlines from LAX and we paid $320 pp round trip. Of coarse, we bought our tickets back in Jan before gas prices sky rocketed. I just checked Travelocity (where we originally purchased our trip) and they didn't have direct flights available. The 1-stop flights were about $510

I feel you on the expensive prices...I'm looking at $744 pp round trip from Charlotte to Punta Cana, direct flight...

I feel your pain ladies. These airline price hikes are stressing me out , I'd hate to see the price of plane tickets soar even more and prevent some of our guests from even thinking about going.....*sigh*
