I haven't flown since the late 90s...

One of my best friends who is a country singer called me a few days ago and let me know he is getting married.....

In Belize ....

How in the heck do I get the cheapest plane ticket ?

The wedding is February 29th..... I need to leave anytime from the 26th - 28th.... and return sometime past the 1st of March.

Any of you guys experts at cheap tickets.... These tickets seem sky high for a 3 hour flight.

Start looking now. for the cheapest ticket you need to get it at least 30 days prior to the flight. It is called a 30 day advance purchase ticket. (Most airlines have them, but they may be called different things)

Be advised that this type ticket must be flown exactly as the reservations are made. If you change them in any way from the time you make the booking until you fly, it will cost you big time.

You cannot change the date, the flight...NOTHING. Any changes and the ticket is pretty much worthless and you will be buying a new ticket. Good luck.

This person only gave you a little over a month's notice to make arrangements to fly overseas to attend a wedding?

That seems ridiculous.

He's a genius though, getting married on the 29th so he only has to deal with the anniversary every 4 years.

Use Google flights to get best prices... Pull the trigger on tix ASAP since you're pushing the 6 week window when prices start increasing exponentially ...

ETA: just glancing, looks like $674 rt nonstop is about the best you can do leaving 2-27 returning 3-2 from Atl...

Netjet cards start around $100k....

Otherwise, just hit the name your price sites until one hits. Last minute may be your friend.

Are they picking you up from the airport? Belize City airport is a dump and in a shite area. Long way to the resorts or islands. We usually take a puddle jumper plane from there to where we fish.

Also, what is your passport situation?

Is this the braggart thread? Went marlin fishing in Maui today. Playing the Plantation Course at Kapalua tomorrow.

Do you have your passport? If not, you're going to have to get on that with a quickness, and pay the expedited rate to get it processed in time.

Download the Hopper app. Tells you best timing of when to buy and offers up cheapest airfares. Otherwise using google flights.

My suggestion is don’t use some shite 3rd party to actually buy the flight. Buy it from the airline.
