I'm working on planning my best friends wedding in March. This will be my 9th trip and her 5th to the rock. I am looking for any suggestions on booking flights. How far out do the airlines release flight dates? 120 Days?
Normally I wait it out to see what all unfolds but since we will be traveling with a large group I don't want to lead them in the wrong direction. I think there will about 20 of us or so....
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
I usually wait it out also, 6 weeks before departure is the earliest I've booked in years. Travelling with such a large group, and for a wedding, the anxiety of waiting would drive me crazy!!
You should try contacting airlines about a group/wedding discount!
330 days in advance for most airlines. never to early to start looking. march is on the board.
I concur with katho - it IS a good idea to contact airlines about getting a group discount - i believe each airline has some breakpoint at which they will discount flights... for some it's 20, others maybe 25.... you might try checking around with a couple different airlines, cause it is a real possibility that you could get a deal for booking a large group.
We're in the same boat, BBrasta. I actually just got a "group" quote and it was $928 US out of Detroit. Um...I'm waiting. LOL Our daughter is getting married in Negril in April and there are prices out there now for most airlines.
Thanks for the info. I will try to contact a few airlines to see what is all available. Thanks!
It is far cheaper to book our airfare separately from the group. One would think that if they could confirm 25 seats on a plane almost a year out the price wouldn't be double.....however, it is. I'm going to wait until the end of summer to book our airfare (hopefully!)
