Flights = Booked!

Big news! Our first major purchase (and arguably the most important one) has been made! We are officially showing up to our own wedding: the tickets are booked.

If you've been following my blog you would remember how upsetting the entire flight search was getting to me. While we did not score unbelievable flights, we did manage to find ones $400 cheaper (total) than the original flights that have been showing up for weeks.

The downside?

They are round-trip into Manchester, New Hampshire, which is around a 2 hour drive from home. So they're definitely not as convenient as Portland Jetport that's a mere 20 minutes from my parent's house.

Along with the distance, the timing isn't perfect either. We get in really late at night (12:30AM) and our flight back to Korea departs at 5:20AM. Both are extremely annoying since the airport is so far away.

Regardless, they were cheaper, and the actual itinerary times are much shorter than what we're used to. The total time to Manchester is only 20 hrs, and the flight back to Korea is 23 hrs. Might sound like a lot, but usually we deal with 27+. We were lucky in that we don't have any long (more than 3 hour) layovers, which is nice.

and BONUS! The big flights to and from Korea are with Asiana Airlines, a Korean airline that is a little fancier than what we're used to. We're excited to see how it is.

We're both estatic that the flights have been booked, primarily because it was both making us a little nuts. We were constantly checking for lower fares only to find that prices were consistently rising. Everyone back home has been talking about the gas prices and summer increases, so we figured we couldn't wait much longer than now.

Even if a cheaper flight appears, we won't know about it because we are DONE searching, and can put that at peace.

WE'RE GOING HOME IN 5 MONTHS!!!
