Given the prices im seeing already, there's no savings to be made booking now. Think I'll just hang on and book on with whatever official day trip city announce when i buy my tickets so I don't have to dick around and I know I'm definitely getting there.
I doubt I'll pay much more for that than sorting it out myself at this point and i dont fancy staying over there tbh as i want to make sure im back here for any parade which will surely be the day after. There's also the very faint hope we get lucky and city subsidise the flights even if it's just partly to avoid the rip off prices.
