Flights for end of March, 2018

[zeppman]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at flights from O'Hare to Montego Bay in late March 2018, and prices are absurd. In everyone's experience, have I missed the "window" for cheaper tickets? Or should prices go down? I realize March is a very popular time, but two years ago when we went I paid about $600 per ticket.

Thanks.

In my experience you have not yet reached the "window" for March

Stay diligent!

I happened to be checking on my flight information when this popped up so I did a search (not knowing all the right information) and got this result. I use http://www.cheapoair.com all the time. See if this might work for you.

Peace and Guidance

Accompong, thanks for the suggestion. However, I'm stuck with specific dates, as my wife is a teacher and only has one week off, and can not take any other time off work besides that week. That flight would be perfect though for someone with more flexible dates!

I'll keep watching. Hopefully we can make it work. We had such an amazing time during our last trip in 2016 (had Linston as our driver!) that we've been looking forward to our next trip ever since.

Here's the present fares on Southwest. Just go to the Southwest site and go to flexible dates and you'll get this calendar. Keep checking every day, especially Wednesdays You'll find a good fare for your dates sooner or later.

Remember you can cancel with out a fee

Need to be selective on dates towards the middle to end of March. $439 is the best I could find. Use Google Flights to search.

$439.00 is not bad at all.
Non-stop...grab it!

Thanks everyone, I'll keep that in mind. Due to my wife's schedule, we are trying to do a saturday to sunday to maximize our time. I realize weekends have a premium price.

Try to fly Friday night, much cheaper and you get to stay a night at Toby's in Mo-Bay

Yup, Saturday-Sunday is going to catch a premium in March. Plus the airports are a zoo on Saturday. Immigration lines are hours long, at least before they added the kiosks. Add in Club Mobay on arrival if you can.

Can you go in January/February? I'm seeing around $500 then.
