We have tickets in mid October from our airport in upstate SC connecting through Atlanta for a direct flight to SXM. However, our return flight in early November has us returning from SXM to JFK, on a Saturday night, then flying back home to SC out of La Guardia on Sunday. It wasn't our best option to do that, but it was the least expensive at the time I booked the tickets. I may have gotten something better if I had waited, but I went ahead and booked.
