Airline Tickets

Today I bought airline tickets. I've been scoping them out for a couple of months. It seems that the airlines start their prices high, and then discount them about two months in advance. They drop for about two weeks, and then shoot back up. This has been the rolling trend as I've watched different dates over time.

So, today, being almost exactly two months before our big trip, I checked out the prices...they hadn't budged.

I found a link to a link from EuroCheapo and ended up looking on LessNo. This is an airline reservation system similar to Travelocity and Orbitz, but with way better deals. The prices I found on their system were less expensive than the cheapest flights I found anywhere else.

Now, their confirmation email says:

Please check your email to find a confirmation email that will include your ticket numbers. If you do not receive this email within 48 hours, contact us immediately.

Note: PRICES ARE NOT GUARANTEED UNTIL TICKETS HAVE BEEN ISSUED!

So, I may not have purchased any tickets at all. I'll know within 48 hours...here's hoping!

Oh, by the way... The price for was $830 per ticket.
