Few minutes ago just got a great price out of Chicago for November. Connecting through San Jaun on the way down and JFK on the way back with good times both ways. Price was $513. This will be be our 11th straight November trip and this is the lowest price we have ever paid. Typically have paid right around $600.

Booked for November JFK to SXM. I was VERY pleased to find that they added a later flight from SXM, leaving at 5:50 pm. More hours on the beach! Yay JetBlue! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

I wish they would go to the following Saturday. We always go down on Jan 1st and return the following Saturday. So I always have to wait for them to extend again before I can get a r/t.

Yeah, looking at that now. $274 from Boston with a stop in JFK. I don't like dealing with two Northeast airports in the winter months. But that is the flight that gets us in the earliest. Leaving at 5:45 and arriving at 1:30pm

I am also watching for November and will not go to NY. We always go thru San Juan and a direct on the way home. They are not showing that route yet? Hopefully it will come back or we will not go. We love Jet Blue and have had a couple of problems, but still like it much better, than American, that we use to be on.

We just did American to Punta Cana in February and I must say we certainly prefer Jet Blue. This past January we did the BOS-JFK-SXM trip on the way down on New Years Day and SXM-BOS direct on the way home. We had no issues and got in very early around 12:30pm. It was great but you never know what can happen so we are looking for either direct down or a stop somewhere further south.

Recently there was a poster worried (appropriately) about a snowstorm in Charlotte on her departure date....so...even that is not a given safe connection BUT better than a northern one

that's why we bite the bullet and bought n/s out of Boston for our 2wks in Nov. We hate JFK, especially having to do customs and reboarding on the way back, not to say thanksgiving wknd.
