Yeah, I usually fly down Dec 27, 28. Same dates this year and it is a couple hundred dollars more at least! Also, the flights are all with connections and typically I'm flying direct.
I just checked and last year I booked on 10/5. A one-way direct on jet blue was $266. Right now, a month earlier and the same flight is $534.

The 27th and 28th are probably the two highest cost dates to leave. The week prior to Xmas you can fly round trip for under 500. Leaving on 27 or 28 at least 1000. Everything will be sold out so they are not going to discount. If you can push your departure back to Friday prices drop rapidly. Last year the 27th fell on Sunday Christmas weekend. I suspect demand was much lower accounting for the price change. G

Best way to book is with flexibility.. We are flying to St. Lucia in October to move our boat to the BVI (I'm sure we'll have a great trip report as BEERMAN is along for the voyage) and I had some flexibility in when we got down there - big savings by us arriving on a Tuesday.. $600 one way total for 3 of us.
