I prefer the Red Eye from San Francisco because I like to get into Negril early. There were flights leaving at 6:00am transiting through Dallas (on American, that's what we fly) but getting us into MoBay at 8:30pm. Before I actually get "home" I have to make a couple of stops to pick up my stuff and I like to unpack and set up as much of the house as possible when I get in. Getting into Negril late just wouldn't work for me.

Most times we fly out of SFO at around 11:00pm, have about a 3-4 hour layover in Miami (we have an Admirals Club "in"...if you have more than say a 2 hour layover it is WORTH buying an "in" for $75 I believe for 2 - to chill in a comfy zone)then off the MoBay. After all the airport stuff we usually arrive at our yard at about 3:00pm - nuff time to unpack some stuff, have a sunset drink with our friends/yard mates and eat some dinner.

Gerry - did you ever take the famous AJ LAX-MBJ 10:00pm red eye or did you miss that? That was the best flight in the world. Did it only a couple of times (still too long a commute to LA for us). You'd get into MoBay at 6:00am and be in Negril by 8:00am. RIP!
