Honeymoon flights
So...I'm procrastinating booking our honeymoon flights because they are just so gosh darn expensive.
I don't think the price will go down at all since there is only 1 possible flight out on the day we leave, and one possible flight out on the day we come back. One other airline flies there, but not on the days we are going.
The price has gone up about $50pp since it opened in August (that was shortly after the flights were opened), but other than that, nothin.
July is high season in Bora Bora with some month long festival in Tahiti, so naturally travel is most expensive then. We're going the first week of August though since we're getting married on July 29.
So...would you wait to book and pray that it goes down? Or suck it up and book it now in case they go up?

Re: Honeymoon flights
One time I booked a month before my trip - and paid nearly 500 dollars for a 2 hour flight.....
Now - another time - I booked that night and flew out the next morning when FI was having emergency surgery - and it was like 250 - but I also drove an hour to Dayton and then flew.
Any chance of looking at nearby airports for lower fares?
Btw, what airline is it? I know certain airlines have system-wide sales in January since it's generally a slow sales month for them.
It's Air Tahiti Nui (connected with Air New Zealand I believe).
Thanks for the input ladies. I was figuring I should just book as well, just needed a boost.
[QUOTE]Suck it up cupcake...Just book it and deal...one less thing to worry about =) and just in case they increase...then I would really be peeved (it's happened!)

This just book it now I would not wait any longer it might go up fifty more bucks! And considering that there is only 1 flight in and out and a big festival I would not wait any longer.
Book ASAP... one less thing to worry about
[QUOTE]My travel agent told us that the cost of most flights is going WAY up next year... We booked our flights to/from Hawaii as soon as they released the price in September, and it's already gone up since then. Book ASAP... one less thing to worry about

I actually just look ours up we booked in September as well we booked for $381 to aruba now it is at $512 so glad we booked when we did!
We're flying AIr Tahiti Nui as well but I believe Air France goes there as well so that may be an option.
Small world!!!
Bummer, we'll just miss each other! We'll be in Bora Bora from the 1st-7th, and then we're staying one night in Tahiti (7th-8th) so we can go souvenir shopping at their big marketplace. We're staying at Le Meridien...what about you guys?
That's a heck of a long flight for you guys from Connecticut!
Have you tried kayak.com or fly.com - if there's only one flight, I'd imagine you're stuck with whatever they are charging, However, there's a chance they are codesharing the flight with someone. I still have to book the flights from Tahiti to Moorea and then Bora Bora with Air Tahiti but they never seem to have any deals - oh well!
