We used to do that or Funjet Flights out of Milwaukee, now it is cheaper to go AA out of Ohare. I was so excited last year when they announced that apple going to fly Jamaica out of Rockford, but then I saw the priceOriginally Posted by Rambo

Lady Jane...yes...have gone direct when available, but no such luck during the Christmas Holidays
Thanks for the help everyone. Much appreciated...but with trying to get as many days as possible and still being in the dates that work will allow me to be away, I am trapped in a window of time that seems to be when the airlines are costing the most. I also just can't accept 12 hours for a layover somewhere...I have seen some prices that were better on the flight comparison sites, but when you go in further, you see these long layovers or 2 or 3 connections.
I have accepted the fact that I am paying 1500.00 but getting the dates and flights that I need. Heading to the travel agent to book now

1500 bucks is about my total budget for an entire 10 day trip PP, flights included. yikes.
If you want direct flights from the Canadian prairies, it's gonna cost $1,200 per person return. You might find something cheaper but I'd be surprised. We are flying on air miles this time. It's about $65 per person return. Very good deal BUT......18 hours each way. Should be interesting.
I managed to get my preferred airline....also no ling layover, but i lost 2 days in Jamaica....boo. Still....IM GOING!!!!

Wow! That is unreal.....
The most I have paid for FIRST CLASS from So Cal was approximately $1100. It is amazing how rates have shot up, than again travel is also up. Simple supply and demand as well as less competition.
Not sure I follow that gas prices are up. If jet fuel runs close to the auto gas prices, not in cost but flucuation, it should be cheaper this year. Gas is .20 cheaper year over year in the US.

Jamaica is still a great value relative to most Caribbean locations. Those prices are yet to chase me away.
We've been watching both WestJet & Air Canada and had also been waiting for the dip in prices. Looks like we'll be spending approximately $1,250.00 per person this year. Still hoping for a sale or promo. See you on the island
Looking forward to our next visit to beautiful Jamaica! See you soon!!
Pricing is entirely arbitrary now, and I am convinced it is to make up for the "lean years" the airlines had. Our tickets from Philly (a heck of a lot closer than boogers west coast rates) were just under $3000 us for the both of us. I cannot even imagine how much that went up for Xmas. I will be traveling during the thanksgiving time frame, but it's still a bit out of hand, I think.
Wow, those prices are unreal! We recently booked for Feb. down to Puerto Rico out of ORD for $262 per person direct flight. Had to jump on it as we haven't seen them this low for a very long time.
