Having said that some of our flights have been booked quite a bit in advance and we have still gotten a fantastic deal. We booked our flight to Seoul, South Korea back at the end of May and we aren't even going there until October, and that is the same with our son. Kevin found his deal at the beginning of June and he won't be leaving until September, and later Kevin found a great deal for his return home from Amsterdam to Toronto for $371 CAN which again is a super deal.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-40726133159264884762014-07-02T09:41:59.969-04:002014-07-02T09:41:59.969-04:00I hope that you are able to find a great deal with...I hope that you are able to find a great deal with this info, I now that we sure have!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-33453036308804589192014-07-01T23:32:06.366-04:002014-07-01T23:32:06.366-04:00The fact that flights fly so full these days has m...The fact that flights fly so full these days has made me wary of waiting to book flights. If you really have to be somewhere on a particular day and by a certain time, flexibility again goes down the drain. However, your sharing of that miraculous fare your son found, is making me reconsider my fatalism about airfares. ;-)Suzanne Fluhr https://www.blogger.com/profile/15164389928331501665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-74692575582217983522014-07-01T20:13:04.545-04:002014-07-01T20:13:04.545-04:00I've bookmarked this post for future travel. ...I've bookmarked this post for future travel.
