So the cheapest I have been able to find is 680k after taxes.

I want to leave the evening of December 21rst and return Jan. 1.

I am on the waiting list for Cebu Pacif... but 21 people are ahead of me. They don't know their rates yet for that timeframe. I'm far enough back though where I might not get the tickets.

Can anyone help me find cheaper airfare? Should I just suck up and pay 680 after tax?

Going to get married, hit Boracay.

i got them for 100,000 less than you but i was flexible with the dates...ex i originally wanted dec 22 to jan 1 but settled for dec 23 to dec 31 for the lower price. its up to you on the trade-off. i booked mine through zenith tour with wystan kang.

i had a similar experience with the other airlines not offering their rates yet...it's your honeymoon (and one of my few, precious vacations) so i say go with the sure thing!

Peak season for flights headed that way. Christmas flights tend to be full of Pinoy OFWs headed home for the holiday.

Suck it up and go with the sure thing. If you get lucky you MAY save 100k won or so BUT you may end up with no seat or paying much more. They will get up to 1 million closer to XMAS for those dates.

Ya definitely go for the sure bet. I paid 750,000 to fly to Manila during Chuseok and I got my tickets a month before... Christmas will no doubt be just as bad if not worse so get your tickets ASAP.
