Anybody have any advice on buying plane tickets? It's at $366 right now, and I'm really hoping it gets a bit cheaper than that...

Buy tickets as early as possible. The longer you wait the more expensive they become...

Finally bothered to register. I wonder how incredibly I'll be able to mess up at bigcubes this year!

Try Southwest Airlines. That's what my dad and I used, and the split was $345.60 (roundtrip, including taxes).

Wuttt... I paid twice that for mine, and I thought it was cheap
Who on earth did you go through? Spirit is seems to be the cheapest.

I'm flying through American. I'm also flying out of MLI which is smaller than the Minneapolis airport, so I'm sure the tickets are more expensive in general. Also, Spirit has some dumb baggage fees. I've never heard of charging for carry on bags.

I could, but I would rather find a solution that doesn't have me paying $25 to accept a package.

That is not really true. Prices fluctuate and tend to be their lowest roughly one month before for domestic flights. It is better to buy months early than try to buy last minute, though.
I doubt it gets much better than that, but you can try the www.bing.com/travel price predictor.

Hmm...okay. I figured it might go back down because about a week ago it was $308 then I refreshed the page and it jumped to $366 >.>

This might be too late if you've already bought your tickets, but one thing to try is clearing your cookies and checking the price again. A lot of airline companies will raise the price if you check it multiple times.

As according to the competition home page deadline for room bookings is July 1, I tried to book our room today. It was available only for 07.21 - 07.31. And the only option to select was some "Luxury Room" :confused: with the prices similar to those that are in the competition home page, but (only) a bit higher. But the confirmation mentions some "resort fee of $5 per day".
So guys, do you know anything/have any experience on room booking to Riviera? What is the total cost with taxes & fees? Is it really full?! As we arrive on 20th, should we find something else for 20th? (Under some bridge? )

I hope there are rooms left, I still have to book mine. I don't have the money right now, but I will soon.

Flights are so expensive out of Wisconsin. Has anyone found anything reasonable? <300 rt?

It might be worth it for you to fly out of Chicago. I live closer to Detroit and one time I was flying to Dallas it was still cheaper for me to fly out of Chicago, including gas.

it's weird to see Americans complain about $300-$400 flight tickets after paying ~$1500 for mine from Germany...

Tbf, Sebastien, you actually have some sort of income to support yourself; people like me don't yet.
