Try JetBlue out of PVD, they also service BOS and now Worcester. We flew them last month for around 350 RT with a layover in Orlando.

Another myth... closer is cheaper. My northern friends - again, for decades - have paid significantly less than I have from FL. The gap has narrowed a bit the last few years but rarely does someone from "up north" pay more than I do to get to JA.

Lol, it's suppose to be a myth but I've had some luck getting low airfare prices in low travel seasons. Even though they reduce the amount of flights to match demand they never seem to fill up the flights I'm on.

I just looked at our flights for this years trip... Prices are actually slightly lower than last year. It's almost $400 cheaper round trip than last year. I think it may be because we are traveling over thanksgiving, but leaving well before the rush, and coming back the Saturday after.

AA and USAir is still in the merger process...their flights will be kinda high until they get "settled somewhat". and depending on your dates...the closer to your trip, the more the airfares will be. You can not put a prices on convience, comfortablity and your sanity.

Thanks Eco. I tried some randome dates over the next 6 months and I coming up between $550 and $700. Same as US Air.

Fly out of midway airtran

We actually get better pricing from here during high season. During low season they don't do the direct flights from our home airport and cut back on the number of flights out of "connecting" airports = less supply = higher prices. Our flight home last May cost us a lot more than our flight down a week earlier!

Try the "best fare finder option on JetBlue.com. I just found (being flexible with dates) $440rt from Boston and $392 from prov.....tons of other dates for the same price but I picked August 26 to September 8 just to pick dates. Oh and since those dates are so far out ill bet the price comes down a little.

Thanks everyone! Airfare is just a pain no matter how you look at it! I know there is a direct flight out of midway on AirTran but no thank you - I can't handle arriving at 1:40 if I can arrive earlier (9:40 am or 10:40 am). Probably gonna push the button soon and stop checking prices.............
