typically the airfares are higher during the summer......no way around it.......

Very true. I couldn't even use my FF miles to book 1st class w/ American after June 1... not available at all during the summer for the usual 60K FF miles. Even coach required a 24 hour, overnight in Miami. No more usual numerous choices in each category. Airlines aren't the only ones who jack up their rates seasonally. My sister is getting ready to move & the movers boost their prices after May 15th. Not any different than the hotels charging higher rates during high season. Companies do this because they can & they know people will still pay. If one person won't, another surely will. I just bit the bullet & bought a 1st class ticket. By the time you add in the extras, it wouldn't have been that much of a price increase from coach. Plus, I deserve it :-)
I purchased tickets 6 weeks ago for oct trip. They are running about the same now as then.
Curiosly they are about the same price i paid 2 years ago. Still way to damn much.
Yvonna,
I was able to use my American FF miles for mid August, booked a few weeks ago. I had to be flexiable but not too bad...instead of a Sunday departure had to leave on a Monday and this year TWO stops instead of one....but no overnight. My flight down is NONSTOP!
We bought ours the other day for Feb. direct round trip from Toronto for 1321.14. The week before it was close to 2000
I just looked at some prices for Christmas 2013. They look a little higher than what I am used to. Of course, we usually fly during summer, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I'm just waiting on summer 2014 to come out.
The itinerary I'm looking at for August hasn't moved in quite a while. Out of MSP $600 on Delta. I'm hoping it will drop a bit soon so I can cross that off the list.

Prices have been going down, winter season prices go up and come spring and summer the rates usually start coming down, not always but I have several destinations in the Caribbean flagged for price drops and they are all coming down, happy about MBJ, can't wait to get back to Negril. Flying out of ATL, there are always good sales going on.
