sorry - another airfare question - $$

Cands,you would connect over night rather than get in a few hours later? I just can't do it,why not just add a day to your trip? Our next reach ,1st week in June, depart 8:30 arrive 12:30 nonstop aa out of ohare,that's perfect as far as I can see,paid like 550x3 peeps

Total myth where I am but there's very little competition - major factor. Depending on the origination of the flight & number or airlines, you will benefit from those factors. Lacking in FL... competition. No incentive to lower fares.

I vote 1st class & the flights that work best for you.

Good point! Up north we can connect via I'm guessing 5-10 places if we are open to changing carriers. You get a choice of a one way or an Miami or heading north connection to head south. Check with Marko, he's the king of cheap traveling and I think he flies out of the same airport as you.

STRIPER - no AA nonstop when we fly. Our dates are July 4-13. Still thinking about the over night flight. I guess we figured we have to stay over night somewhere and take a connecting flight anyway so why not use it to our advantage and get to JA earlier on the 4th.

Yvonne - yep - I'm liking the 1st class options! I hate being nickel and dimed to death on these flights!!!!!

You all think this is bad.... Try flying from California. I am lucky to book first class for 2 under $2k. Good thing I have miles as this to me is the only way to fly. I usually can book one way at least with miles.

Out of Tampa International only for me. Gone for weeks at a time I leave my car @ home, covered, under the watchful eyes of neighbors. No month+ of parking fees & unsecured vehicle to worry about. American has the best fares & times (for me) for the most part. Delta almost always is more $$$. Spirit... don't get me started, lol. I miss the old NWA days of direct flights from Tampa. I was spoiled for years. W/ over 50 flights to JA, I pretty much know what's what w/ the airlines & what works best. I'll be glad when the US Air-American merger settles.

Cands,aa depart 5:45am arrive 11:40am 540 per ,sounds good?

I got a SICK deal during Christmas this past reach for $550. In late June, I am paying $630, which is not that bad.

Oh, how I long for the old days of direct flights for $400 from LAX to Montego Bay with no baggage fees.

STRIPER - that's the flight I'm looking at!
