Even though you are booking your airline ticket reservations well in advance, the sticker shock will no doubt surprise you. Just prepare yourself for really high ticket prices, and think about how much time and money it would take you to drive to a destination that is far away. In that perspective it gets a little easier to cope with those expensive airline ticket reservations.
