Ugh. My sister, who is a notorious flake, just called me going on about how flights from three different airports are $500 and up. They need three flights and it really adds up. We are getting married next month and why she waited until now to book is beyond me. My direct flight was $400 but the connecting flights were about $75 cheaper at the time.
I even sent out an email a month ago as soon as the Paquiao fight was announced to a bunch of people. I said I wasn't sure if it would effect flight pricing, but I just wanted to get it out there.
Talking to my stepmom today, I asked her "what am I supposed to do?" and she said nothing. She thinks worst case BIL won't come. Sigh. They sent their response cards back a month and a half ago. Maybe they should have looked at flights first. I realize that not everyone can afford to come to a destination wedding, and I don't mean to sound obnoxious. I just wish they put more though into this.
End rant.
