Yeah, $500 is a thing of the past. Unfortunately, there's no direct flights out of Buffalo (where I only have a 15 min cab ride to) so I have to get creative on my flight down. I try to use my company holidays to extend my time in Negril (Like I fly down on Black Friday, after Thanksgiving, since it's a company holiday) but being locked into certain days (around the weekend) to maximize my time down there costs extra. In Feb though, I'm flying out on friday evening, right after my workday, to Charlotte with a 11 hour layover, where I'm using my expedia points to get a free hotel there by the airport. The cool thing is that I'm flying out the next morning early to be landing in Mobay by 1030am, thus maximizing my 7 mile beach time on the first day!
