|

I have four months left in this contract and I was wondering if anyone knows when I should book my ticket home? I assume there is no shortage of tickets but I would love to be out of here asap when my contract is over |

Don't leave it a moment longer than you have to. It's a nice, secure feeling knowing that there's an airplane seat waiting for you at the end of your contract. I tried to book two months ahead and ended up getting bounced around on waiting lists and different days... I finally got the date I wanted but I could have done without the panic attacks. |

I *might* be wrong but last time when I tried to book a flight home, get a round trip ticket, I was told I had to book it no more than 10 months in advance or something like that. Kind of tricky when you are on a year long contract.
Try to get a ticket that will not charge a penalty for changing dates. Since you have 4 months only left to go, you should be fine. |
