Thanks!!!  I will look into that!!!

OOPS, nevermind; itravel2000 appears to be a Canadian company :-(

Chrystine...let me know if you have any luck. Just hoping they go down after the holidays!

[JA2012]

Sorry...I didn't realize you're in the states :-(

It also didn't register that your wedding is in Punta Cana. I do always seem to see last min deals to the Dominican, so you may be ok. I don't know why JA is so expensive if you wait til the last minute. You may have luck. Check Expedia and Cheap-o-air. They usually have good deals too. Goodluck!

I learned that if you book directly with an airline, most of them have a price drop guarantee.  US Airways is the only one that appears to fly direct from Philly to Punta Cana.  Here is their policy:

 

Lower fare guarantee

When a new lower fare becomes available after a ticket has been purchased, customers are entitled to a lower fare guarantee refund within the following guidelines. We will deduct a $150 change fee ($250 for international travel) and apply residual funds in the form of a US voucher. Additional rules and restrictions may apply. Call reservations for a lower fare guarantee.

• The lower fare is available for the exact itinerary previously purchased.
• No portion of the reservation has been flown.
• Lower fare guarantee refunds are not available for online ticket exchanges. Certain promotional fares may be excluded.

 

SO, at least we would get a voucher for a future trip if we book now!

Thanks all for your input. From the look of things it's going to be way cheaper to fly my photographer down for a few days then hire an outsider. Then they can capture the entire weekend.

 

For those of you waiting for airfare I say wait till after the holidays to see if they go down. Also, sign up for the airlines emails, follow them on twitter/facebook. Then you'll be the first to know if they have a sale. Good luck to you all!
