Well if anything goes wrong, then you have no recourse. With a credit card you have some rights. (even though those rights end sixty days out of when you charged it. – I think maybe it’s different for airlines?)

I’m trying to score some tickets to London for New Year’s and I always check out Clark Howard’s site:
http://clarkhoward.com/travel/tips/todays_tip.html There’s an air special for Australia listed. $999 from LA including three domestic flights in Oz. When I went in 1996/7 we had a similar deal. Total was $1200 each from Atlanta with three domestic flights. Atl LA Sydney Alice Cairns Sydney LA Atl. (Anza Travel)

I’ve also found beta.itasoftware.com is good. You get fares then you go to the airlines for the tix. Seems to give the best results of all I’ve tried.

I’m toying with the possibility of going myself. You didn’t actually pay for $2k+ worth of plane tickets with a debit card did you?!?

Darron, Kai’s right about the ceremony – I am very lucky to have attended his & Diane’s wedding ceremony in a park with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as part of the background the day before MXDU started.

Jesse, this could be a nice place for you ‘n the missus to renew your vows ;-)
