SFO peeps..what's the least painless route to Negril?

[Thatswhatshesaid]

Newer residents in the Bay area and we've been looking at fares vs travel time...holy cow.
Anyway, based on your experiences, any secrets?

If you can sleep on a plane...take the Red Eye.

There is no painless route to Negril from SFO. I take the red eye to Miami, have a 4-8 hour layover there and arrive in Negril about noon. Not nice but the best I can find for the price. BTW, it's American Airlines.

Thanks. Hopefully we can nail something down soon!

Hi,

I fly American, leave SFO at six am, go thru Miami and arrive Mobay around seven thirty in the evening. I like to route home thru Dallas Ft. Worth, I find customs a little less painful then Miami.

I just can't handle the red eyes anymore.

Good luck finding the flight you like!

Thanks! good advice about coming back via DFW. I noticed some via CHI too, but don't want to risk a snow delay.

Any reason not to connect in Atlanta? We'll be flying out of San Diego but back into SFO and most flights I've seen for both ways go through Atlanta instead of Miami or DFW. The flights have been found on normal fare sights so are you guys going to the airline directly?

Atlanta is one of the busiest most congested airports in the east...

How about US Airways thru Charlotte? Layover usually around 1 1/2 hours and it is a red eye as well.

maxwell87 - I used to live in Atlanta so no experience going through it..however, I understand there's a new intl term there so maybe it is ok.
The r/t fares I'm getting for SFO to MBJ right now TODAY are 566 for a red eye that goes sfo-miami- mbj and returns mbj-dfw-sfo

There are other options like going through Chicago and Charlotte...Have lived in Chi too, so know about snow delays
and 2 years ago was stuck in Charlotte overnight in a snow storm flying fro MoBay back to Minneapolis....ya, I've lived a few places.
So I tend to avoid weather delay places as much as possible.
