This post is all about completing the bookings for our weddingmoon, which is, rightfully so, the largest part of our planning.\u00a0 After a few back and forth emails with Heather, the heard of customer services and person running the <\/strong>@spirit_helper<\/strong><\/a> and @spiritairlines<\/strong><\/a> twitter accounts, I booked our flights. As I was checking prices, an email came in with dirt cheap prices during October. Now, I’d been getting these emails for a few months now and they’re never more than a month in advance. After booking, I emailed Heather back and she immediately replied saying she sent that one out for me.<\/p>\n

I know Spirit<\/strong><\/a> has terrible reviews, but I’m willing to take a chance. I booked nonstop flights both ways. To get the crazy low price of under $400 for EVERYTHING, I joined their $9 Fare Club. My brother’s future sister-in-law just started working for Spirit and will hopefully be able to request to get on our flight, at least one of the legs. We saved over $250 off all other airlines, even previous times I checked Spirit. It seemed to be kinda a no-brainer to me.<\/p>\n

Tweet: booked the hotel for the 8th. now our weddingmoon is officially and 100% booked. i feel sooo much better!<\/strong><\/p>\n

After tweeting back and forth with the @luxorlv tweeter, she gave me a promo code to use for the additional night and I booked it last night. Oh yeah, to book the dirt cheap airfare, I had to extend the trip by an extra night. We’ll be arriving into Vegas around 11:30pm their time (ugh… that’s 2:30am our time!) so we basically needed a place to sleep. Seeing as it’s a long holiday weekend with tons of conventions in town, hotels are all roughly $100 for on or near the Strip. Using the Luxor code, I just booked it. The difference is our “formal” reservation is for the Tower Suite \u2013 big, lush, super fancy, high floor, huge Jacuzzi \u2013 and the single room reservation is for a Pyramid Deluxe room. I could care less what features it has.<\/p>\n
