First class or coach? The most I have paid from LAX first class RT is approximately $1,500, the lowest around $1,000. That price is horrendous for such a short flight, and is a great example of airline greed. In fact, my next trip we are paying approximately $1,500 each RT in First Class from LAX, which covers 2 1/2 times the difference(1117 vs 2708) miles. Prices this year are the highest I have seen in the last 5+ years. Sadly, I can travel to Cancun for less than $1,000 RT, but will not as we want to get back to Negril.
