The only non-stop airfare I could find from Chicago was on Saturday to Saturday flights, so booked from Milwaukee with one stop after several weeks of convincing my husband that he would surviveThe good news was that we were able to upgrade to First Class for less than a checked bag would cost! And since it is a whopping 51 degrees in Wisconsin - I can think warm thoughts of Negril!
We're booked for November... Tucson-Houston-Jamaica. Here's what was soooo frustrating and makes absolutely zero sense: The flight options as part of the package we booked all had insanely long layovers in Houston, so I tried to book just the Houston-Jamaica leg as part of the package and book the Tucson-Houston leg separately in order to significantly reduce the layover time. Guess what?? The package would have been MORE expensive (not even counting the separate airfare booking). Say what? Flying from Houston to Jamaica is more expensive than flying from Tucson to Houston to Jamaica? So we have to sit in Houston for half a day each way or pay dearly to have a shorter layover?
Sounds like a reasonable trade-off to meOriginally Posted by plongdin

Flying Delta Milwaukee to Atlanta to Montego Bay and at $27 for the upgrade how could we say no
UGGGGGG...We are on US air, and I called to see about an upgrade. $280 extra per seat and a $150 per seat change fee.
Wisconsin Gal will definitely be in COACH.

Hello Everybody,
Very confusing on why there are so few direct flights to JA??? I live in the greater NYC area and between Newark, JFK and Laguardia there are very few direct flights to MoBay or Kingston. The few that are NS are substantially more expensive. The one stop flights can sometimes take 14 hours to arrive in JA for what is non-stop 3 1/2 hour flight. You can't tell me there isn't enough demand to justify more non stops flights from many destinations. I guess I don't know the inner workings of the airlines other than their slashing their work forces, eliminating their unions, and rewarding their CEO with huge pay packages and bonuses for laying so many off. Same old same old except you have a plane full of souls that cutting corners tends to endanger rather than make safer.
We fly out of Detroit, the only non-stop that is offered is on Delta and only on Saturdays.
I flew out of Midway recently, and booked a New Years flight from Midway - both non-stop on Air Tran. They offer what seems to be a daily non-stop.
Very reasonable under $500 if your dates are flexible. Bare bones - $25 to check a bag. But, $20 per seat for exit row and reasonable upgrades available at the airport for business class. Then the bag is free. And drinks are free. No meals, though. But they bring enough snacks that you don't go hungry.
We are looking for a good deal for flights from Minneapolis, early December. Please anybody ...if you find one, let us know. Thanks. Respect. Todd & Deb
