Ahoy everyone,
After a 10 year absence, I am planning a trip for next July. In the past we always flew into STT and took the ferry because it was quite a bit cheaper than flying to EIS. I see the ferry prices have gone up a lot in 10 years so I looked at flight to EIS. Strangely it is about $140 less to fly coach from Memphis to EIS than to fly to STT, and we save the ferry fees. This also avoids the possibility of being stuck in St Thomas if the flight arrives late.

I checked American Airlines site and it shows a coach flight for about 570 or Business class for 885. The first bag is free in coach then $40 for a second bag. Business class allows 3 checked bags free. That lets me take SCUBA gear for free and maybe a cooler (just to have on board. don't want to revisit the frozen food importing discussion again).

I've never paid for Business class before. In your experience is this a good price for Business class. (Free drinks too <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />)
I've got 10 months to departure.Is the price likely to go up or down in the future?
Thanks for your input.
Fair winds,
Rick
