Looks like the price gets bumped up because we want to do an overnight flight and take an early morning flight the day we arrive in JA. This flight will get us into Mobay at 9:50 am. If we fly the day of our resort reservations we would arrive in Mobay at 11:40 am. Going home I like to leave no earlier than 2:00 pm.

I did find an AA flight that is $1220 coach for 2 round trip. Not the overnight flight I wanted to try. That flight is $1470 coach for 2.

I guess it boils down to how much is a couple extra hours worth to us. I'll probably just end up booking the cheap (I should say "cheaper") flight leaving ORD the day of our resort reservations and just forget about the overnight plan - sounded good in the beginning.................

Thanks everyone!!!!
