I forgot something else.
In their great wisdom, several years ago AA canceled their LAX>> SJU weekend Nonstop seasonal flights.
This was very nice option to fly to Caribbean. It left around Midnight from LAX, arriving at SJU at 9AM (Fri and Saturday night from Dec through April) and returning from SJU on Saturday and Sunday morning at 11 AM arriving back at LAX at 3:30 PM.
This saved us atleast 3 hours each way to anywhere in Caribbean.
These flights used to be very expensive and it was always completely booked at least 3 months prior to the flight.

Leave it AA to get rid of very popular and profitable route. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
