Our one-way business class tickets in December cost us $679/each. The exact same tickets, purchased today, are $1704! This is American through Miami and San Juan. Even economy seats are now more than we paid.

They changed the first leg from a 737 to an Embraer, so no idea if our carry-ons will fit in the cabin. Fortunately we opted for a long layover. There is a cheaper option through Charlotte with a 35 minute layover, but that's asking for trouble.

This could be a tough travel season for the BVI.
