Flight prices

[booger]

First class or coach? The most I have paid from LAX first class RT is approximately $1,500, the lowest around $1,000. That price is horrendous for such a short flight, and is a great example of airline greed. In fact, my next trip we are paying approximately $1,500 each RT in First Class from LAX, which covers 2 1/2 times the difference(1117 vs 2708) miles. Prices this year are the highest I have seen in the last 5+ years. Sadly, I can travel to Cancun for less than $1,000 RT, but will not as we want to get back to Negril.

Yup. This is exactly what prompted us to go to Isla Mujeres for our winter vacation. Now, we want to go back to Negril during the slow season and the airfare is still ridiculous. I'm looking at $600 to $700 RT economy fare from PHL to MBJ. This is the highest I've ever seen. Without any competition, American Airlines can charge whatever they want.
