To buy the plane ticket now, or not?
I intern at a travel agency, where they are telling me that ticket prices are going nowhere but up(yeah no surprise). Regardless, I have been off and on talking about doing an Australia work/travel program. Trying to figure out some things.
Right now flights from LAX are only $800(each way on Air Pacific) to Sydney. That would obviously be the bulk of my costs. I would only purchase the one way, since I couldn't possibly buy a plane ticket for late 2009/early 2010 this much in advance.
I guess my question is, should I commit to it now. Knowing that it's 6-8 months in advance. I guess if nothing else I could spend a couple of weeks in Australia if I can't do the work abroad thing. I just don't want to wait, and the LAX-Sydney leg approaching $1000 and over. I am at least 90% committed to this though.
Just wanted some of your opinions.
