I have gotten into the habit of checking one way fares since a lot of the time one leg is the culprit. If the price is low I grab one leg. I then just have half to worry about.
For example I checked May 16th/23rd for fares and it was $583 for the n/s r/t..but..it was $207 for the EWR-SXM leg. I would grab that in a heartbeat and cut my needs in half.
I did the same for my SXM trip starting this Sunday...booked the return n/s 1st when it was cheap...and then booked the SJU connection down when the fare dropped a tad.
I think this is a very good tip, I started doing the same 2 years ago since there is little or no RT discount when flying to SXM. It has saved me some nice money that last several trips. The other trick I do, I look FF ticket legs separately, if I find one of the legs cheap, I use FF miles for one leg, purchase the others.
