The wife and I are planning an Alaska cruise for next August with several extended family members. The cruise line/travel agent are pushing us to book airfare now, which sounds nuts to me. They're asking $750 a person (total) for Atlanta-Anchorage outbound, and Vancouver-Atlanta returning. It's actually not a bad fare for right now, but c'mon, there'll be sales to Vancouver and/or Seattle for less than half that price down the line (I fly to Seattle all the time).
For those of you in the area and/or who've done this before, any suggestions? My thinking is to wait it out for a cheap fare to Seattle or Vancouver, and add on a one-way flight from there to Anchorage. Downside? Would it be hard to get that one leg booked during "cruising season"?
