IMO, if he's paying, buy them now. He doesn't seem to be worried about price fluctuations. For major travel holidays, 3-6 months is good.
Agreed, if he is paying the risk (both that he will miss out on lower fares later and that they will go up and he'll be holding the bag) is his so he has the right to chose which risk he accepts.
 
My FIL is paying for our airline tickets for their vaca to Orlando in November and he is demanding that we buy our tickets now. How far out do you normally purchase airline tickets? I have them saved on Google Flights to monitor their fluctuations.


When are you going in Nov., and i assume your doing the theme park there? I'm going there as part of family trip around thanksgiving time.
 
I'm so confused by this.

Weren't you supposed to drive somewhere in Iowa to pick up an aunt or someone and then drive them to the wedding and then they wanted you to drive them back?

That's what I was remembering too when I read wx's post, but maybe that was a different wedding?
 
Okay...THIS is a fresh spam email... :)

For the record, I am NOT Antonio Cipriano Pinheiro, despite receiving this email "addressed" to him.

So can you write back and ask who won the 2017 Super Bowl? Did the Cubs win it all this year? Sounds like he should know.

I will stop dragging my feet then. I did enjoy how he said he wants the cashback now...

That is when we are going to because stupid WXman had to mention to MrsWx how ISU was playing there then and it would be cool to go to it even though he really had no intention of doing so. So MrsWx mentioned it to her mom. 6 hours later the entire family was going there for thanksgiving with no intent on seeing ISU.

Stupid Wxman will never mention anything like this again because he no longer gets to go to Colorado this year and probably won't for a couple more years due to another kid.

All I can say is I would hate to be in Antonio Cipriano Pinheiro's shoes right now. It's not good having a mortal enemy. Especially one that can apparently bypass all laws of space and time.
 
Oh yeah, oops. No, parents are not going to the wedding. That is too much of a pain in the ***, so now I'm being sent since my parents aren't going. Only going to the wedding though, since I won't know anyone other than the bride, her brother, mom and dad.

Okay - what I caught out of all of that is that there is potentially a littler WX on the way to keep little WX company?

Yup you are a woman. All of that and you get the kids part ;)

Nothing in the oven but it will be interesting to see if we have two before CG has 1. Hell I nearly made an assistant manager position before she did this week.

A manger? Do you clean the stalls?

Had no idea ISU was playing there then. We are going for the theme park as there are several little ones as part of our trip.
