Suzengrace - I know what you mean. It's really hard for us on the westcoast. There is a reason everyone here in CA just goes to Cancun and Hawaii. It's dirt cheap! Those deals are always in my face and it frustrates me. I’m stubborn. I just want to go to Jamaica!
Have a great time in Tulum! You mentioned you want to go to JA again next end of June. I’ll also keep my eye out for cheap airfare from LAX to MoBay!\
Yetta – I’m also really glad about the new rules on Airlines. I used to be seduced by false deals.. $320 round trip to Jamaica, then I click on the link and with all taxes the flight became $560! Such a let down! I’m glad that now I know that what I see is what I’ll really get!
Sweetsue – WOW! Man, I really wish Spirit airlines flew out of San Francisco…
This would be a dream price for me…
*wistful sigh*
I feel like my nerves of steel are weakening as I wait hopefully for the “sweet spot” to come so we can book our April flight.
Must… not… lose… hope…. lol

Fare found on Spirit.com. $94.69 from Detroit; $164.69 from Montego Bay on select dates. This fare includes the $33.98 passenger usage fee and $4 "unintended ...more
I just went online to check the going rates for this summer. I have to say, that I am really glad that the new law passed that requires the airlines to display the "total" price for the ticket. It was always so frustrating, not really knowing the exact price. I commend the government for requiring this. It doesn't include the baggage fees but at least I know what they are before I book. So far, the price is about what it was last year....they also give a breakdown of the actual ticket price and the added taxes and fees.
This is the first time that I have checked since our winter reservations were made last Feb, before this was required. Hopefully, soon come!! Hopefully, a nice tax refund would sure help in making the decision.
I, too, wish Spirit were in our small city...but, alas, only choice for us is US Airways and Delta. Generally speaking, US Airways always beats the price of Delta. Still lurking around, watching, watching, until it is time to strike!!
Our time will come
What dates are you looking for?

Clarity, can you travel to another city to fly?
Tfw73 - I can also fly out of Oakland, but the prices aren't better. SFO offers more flights to JA.
Los Angeles offers the most deals to Jamaica.
Unfortunately it's an 8 to 10 hour drive from SF to LA.
...and we don't own a car. (we live in the city, no point in having one here)
So we would need to pay for a rental car.
I've calculated all the expenses (cost of gas and rental car) It really wouldn't save us any money.
So we just have to keep waiting it out for that six week “sweet spot”
Soon come
Carpe Diem
