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.

Fly to cancun for cheap then drive to the southern border with Guatemala then rent a donkey.

The reason a person does that is to exclude people without having to exclude them.

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...

If $674 puts him in a hard place, he probably shouldn't make the trip. On the other hand, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. But how cool is that experience if you don't have any walkin around money?

No shite.


Non dawg related.... need advice

Need some help with my swing. Can’t keep my swing on plane through the follow through and it’s causing me to come across the ball creating a slice.


Or we can go

Much likely to get legit help going the first route.

Netjet cards start around $100k....

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

I wouldn't do a one-way from ATL that far. I'd stop in Alaska for a day and eat some halibut, drink some beers, sleep, take a shower, then connect to Asia.

Dude, imma dreading it. Atl to Heathrow or CDG is 9 hrs and it kills me.

Our 1st leg is Atl to Seoul, 15 hrs in economy, a 3.5hr layover then 6 more hrs to Ho Chi Minh, then we have a 5hr van ride to Phan Thiet on the South China Sea.

Staying in an all inclusive there for wedding. Big Russian/Aussie tourist area...
