I was playing the waiting game for the same time.
AA was over $1100 for JFK to SXM, while Jetblue is over $950 for more room.

I finally booked with Delta for $609.57 Comfort seats. Their customer service is excellent.

Then it was the travel insurance that went up, as it has been doing each year.
We changed from Travelguard, who we have been very happy with--but too expensive, to Travelsafe.

Between booking our rooms more than a year in advance and the airlines--it's getting to be less fun!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" />
