Last trip we paid 230 pp with tax. This trip I can't get anything out of MCO or TPA for under 400.
I try to get home 4 times a year, so putting off a trip is no big thing.
I'll just wait until things change. Good thing I can grab a last minute deal if one pops up.

Feel your pain Captaind, flights out of Little Rock in Sept are going to set us back over $850 per person ... OUCH!!
I have been travelling to Jamaica out of Florida for the past 12 years and have never seen airfares this high. C'mon airlines, we need a sale out of Orlando!
with me needing first class seating,and with wheelchair assistance all the way....we dont go like we use to......we CANT!...........
and soon less and less will be able to.....its like Jamaica is turning back time, all that will be going will be the more affluent,... just like when it all started....
our first flights were 119.00 specials from Vacation Hotline...and they even WELCOMED YOU.........
"One of the laundry gals pipes up ,,"LOOK AT DA BLOOD"
"YES,THAT WOULD BE MINE" I said as my leg that at first gave no pain, started dishing it out in large bunches........"
want more read our blog? our first trip.........http://negril.com/forum/entry.php?58...-The-Beginning
I can remember our first trip in 2000 was only a little over 300 per person. I just called Delta and told them they are crazy. Found flights out of Memphis for about 500 per person with AirTran...guess I better book those before they go up too!
I hear you Rambo.
The economy is trippin and prices are high like a kite.
Wow, CaptainD,
I never checked, but I always figured that the Florida prices would be dirt cheap.
As close as you are, i always thouoght it would be $100-200 bucks.
Guess i was wrong.
I feel you bigtime!! We were trying to work in a quick summer trip since it is literally so hard to make it a full year without a Jamaica fix. BUT, I just checked today, again, and they are up even more!! I am so frustrated. Thank Jah we booked our Christmas trip months ago. Right now, the prices are nearly double per person this summer ...of what we paid to fly in December 2012. Rattid!!!! Good luck!
AS long as the gas prices are up because of middle east it won't get better. Not to negate the fact that the airlines also might be playing games with the situation. One thing I know is they often run really good special in the middle of the night and wee hours of the morning when you are sleep. Sory I don't know the name of the program, but it you name your price and set the alarm it will actually go off like an alarm clock and wake you up so you can book before it changes. Someone else told me about it .You have to literally HAUNT the internet, but my GF is coming Sat on a tix that costed 295.00 ATL/Ft. Lauderdale/MBJ. They are still out there, you just have to work it .
If you are going to wait it might be a long, long time. Airlines have greatly reduced capacity and air fares are absurdly high. Ridiculous.
