As much as we like coming into EIS, guess we will have to come into STT which is 1/2 the price. I know this has been covered a million times but I'm 60 now and can't remember a thing. What is the best water taxi from STT to Tortola? Thanks all!

What is the best water taxi from STT to Tortola? Thanks all! Using ITA Matrix I found 1st class flights from DFW to EIS for as low as $1,211 up to $1,439. That covers the whole month. I would look there for your dates.

I actually have some extra good for a year, feel free to PM me if interested. We've never had a problem having the two flights separate. It just means getting your bags and checking back in. Matt

Delta going down AA coming back. EWR was much cheaper than JFK and parking is $4.75/day. All around good deal. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> tpcook

Another cool app for watching airfares is Hopper. They actually search fare trends and will recommend when to purchase. Of course neither of these is as robust as ITA Matrix, but they're quick and easy to use.
