Merry Xmas! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Decent....AND N/S

Decent??? Fantastic price for most anyone who's not travelling from the NY area and most of the country would be ecstatic for any nonstop flight, let alone at that price!

Correct, many will pay 2-3 times that and WITH a connection.

I agree...a GREAT price but keeping apples to apples those with access to EWR have the same prices for w/e flights (with a stop)

I checked Sat and Sun r/t flights for January (from EWR)and you can find one stop flights under (or around) $350 on AA, United and Delta

Pointless to compare with prices from other areas of the country if you are IN the EWR catch area. Just grin and quietly buy your ticket <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Why is it then when the East coast fares go over $400 to $450 the people scream and whine like crazy? That is my basis for any comparison. That is still a great price (and many would be very happy with that price) compared to many others but is seems to set off a nerve in the East coast crowd.

More power to those that can get that fare but many others are paying 2-3 times that, with a connection.

From PIT last year we paid $734 WITH a connection for HIGH season! I would jump on that fare!!

It's not the entire east coast, just the New York area. We pay over $700 most years, with a connection.

Because the area has a history of low fares...so if they are used to paying less than $400 they ASSUME they will always have that price and comment if they don't get it (appropriately). I would jump at $400-450 which, I will add, is still the going rate for BOS (with a connection).

It has nothing to do with the prices from Washington state, Chicago or FL. Granted it doesn't get ANY sympathy from those who look at $650 as a decent fare.

It's like living near the beach but complaining that you have to drive 30 minutes to get there. Not much sympathy from the Kansas people.....

In 1983 we paid $359.00 pp for r/t n/s flights from JFK to SXM times four and since then and throughout the years we've paid anywhere from that low amount to a high of $759.00 pp for the same flights at the same time of year. It is what it is and it's the price we pay but I strongly doubt, if I had to pay the price some of you pay and then jump through the hoops and hurdles you have to deal with, I'd go nearly as often as we do. Two stops can be a hassle but three? I don't think so...call us Tri-staters spoiled if you will but there are other prices we pay dearly for and in the end, I think it's probably all a wash! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Great prices! We just paid 953.00 a ticket.The cheapest tickets we could find for June, out of Oklahoma with one connection, with AA.

That is AMAZING, I would sooo love to pay that. From Canada (dollar is at a real low point) plus the high fares we probably pay quadruple for a SXM trip compared to what most US travelers pay. But cannot think of a "warm beachy" place in Canada in the winter so if we wanna play we gotta pay LOL. Love going to the US, just means we don't go as often and boy we appreciate when we can!!! 7 more days til takeoff!!!

We're booked down to St. Martin on UAL for Monday May 2, 2016 at a great price.<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> They've already moved the flight back about 90 minutes, which gets us on the beach that much later. I'm waiting for them to cancel it without notifying us.<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> Of course I can't cancel on my own. They didn't have a return flight at all during the week after that.

Return trip is on Jet Blue into JFK. I've always wanted to try Jet Blue, this seemed to be the right time to try it.
