Let's hope US Air keeps the non stops from Philly because they may be a thing of the past. They have already cut a day or two of non stop from Philly from the roster and I hear from a US Air employee that it may be more or all once the merger is complete with AA. I have 45 seats in march 2014 on the 7:55 a.m. non stop and I am hoping it holds. I too miss the days of Air J.....
The only nonstop that Kayak shows for November is US Airays at 9:55. There were some other flights a bit cheaper and getting to Montego Bay a few hours earlier, but there were changes in Charlotte. I not willing to do that if i don't have to.

The whole airfare thing is frustrating to say the least. The airfare to Jamaica has been so reasonable in the past that we never even used our miles. In '12 we paid $248 round trip from Newark, in Jan. This past year we traveled in May and used miles to pay for the round trip $500. What a difference a year makes.
I got US Air,non-stop with the 10am depart & 2pm arrive for $515,which isn't bad........DaRev if you will go to Philly instead of Newark then I would look at Jet Blue from JFK.Great new terminal,no 1st class,they don't serve meals so the aisles are always clear........
i feel better about my $835 per ticket price for the December 28th non-stop!

We are in central PA and found non-stop out of BWI through Air Tran. $390 RT.

If they cut non-stops out of Philly, it would be bad. It would be the end of trips to jamaica for me. I'd have to find another non-stop location. It seems weird that they are doing this... In 15 trips to the island, I cannot think of a single flight that was not packed, high or low season.
I hear you Hussyband. The US Air repo was telling me that you might have to connect in Charlotte, I think. I am hoping it is not the case because it may affect my group destinations as well because part of the ease is the time inflight and of course the love of the island. In in over 40 + trips I have never been on one empty flight Airj or US air.
Ti2m....You got a great rate there but BWI is about 3 hrs. from us and is it really worth gas and time to us??
msbookpack&go.....hope all goes well for your 45seats in 2014....sounds like either a GREAT party or a wedding???? Have fune, either way!
Hussyband.... I agree that the flights we have taken have been booked for the last 15 yrs......think how this is affecting the taxi gentleman in Jamaica who used to do 2-3 runs a day!???
Thanks everyone for your input!
