How far in advance should a person book airfare to SXM to get the best rates? We plan a November 2015 visit. Jet Blue has not released their schedule yet. Any advice?


Air fares, like hotel rates and rental car rates, will vary and may change many times a day.

If you are using miles/points, do it as soon as possible after you know your dates.

If using $$$, when it gets to a price you can live with, BOOK IT!

For Feb./March 2014 I booked almost a year out. For Feb./March this year I did not book until Nov. 2014 and got a better price than last year.

It pays to check often or use a search and notification tool also. A lot depends on where you travel from. East Coast gives you more options and usually better fares. You get away from the East Coast or a hub city and you generally see higher fares and connections.

I would not focus on just one airline, especially if you have options to use more than one.
