We are flying Sun Country. We have used them for the last few years on our trips to Mexico. I am starting to think they are the best around. We try to find the cheapest airfare and they have been at the top of the list the last few years.

I agree, Sun Country is the way to go! And we have a nonstop flight which is totally AWESOME!...Have a blast!!!!

We almost always use Delta. Sun Country flights are seasonal and we go off season.

We just got back and wish we were going again. Have fun!

What kind of prices did you guys get? When I was pricing March the wanted $700 and that was with a stop. April now is higher than that.

We paid about $675 each for this Saturday morning's nonstop Delta flight from Minneapolis to MBJ (altho' last year was about $100 cheaper). The same Saturday AM/nonstop flight on Sun Country was over $150 more when we bought.

We paid about 500/person on US Airways, with one 1 hour layover in Charlotte. I'd rather save some money and take the layover. We'll be in MBJ by 230.

I've taken that flight to Charlotte many times. Its the next best thing to a direct flight. Charlotte airport is very easy to get around and the flights MBJ, I've never seen delays. Just aslong MSP is on time leaving MSP.

Yes, I agree,....Just as long as MSP is on time leaving MSP....When I flew in January...it took them forever to de-ice.. It screwed us up on the last leg of the trip. Gotta love this weather..:(

Delta for me too. They offer direct flights as well but seasonal. I think I am on the last direct flight for the season. Coming back it is not direct.

I agree..with you Navvet,..if you have to stop somewhere, Charlotte is a good place...been there also.

Yes, we have flown many different airlines, with, and without layovers. After missing more than once connecting flight, my wife and I decided to do everything we can to get straight thru flights. But if it was a deal breaker, we would do lay overs as needed. We have stopped in Dallas, Houston, and Charlotte. I think Charlotte was one of the nicest airports to hang out in.

When booking about 2 months out it seems to me like Air Tran was the cheapest from MSP to MBJ with a connecting flight. Most of the non-stop flights were at least a few hundred more (x2 people). Are the non-stops from Sun Country and Delta lower if you book say 6 months out? Seems like they get crazy expensive when only a few seats are left.

Wow, that's about the best fare I've seen, stops or no stops.
