Appears to be about $300 r/t from NY. Jeez, why can we never get prices like that from Florida?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Or any place other than the East coast? Based on what I recently paid for 1 trip, I could have made 3 at that price.

Crap! $334 R/T for our dates in January from BOS...definitely paid more than that but don't want to look
Maybe January demand for SXm is down. I just found a week in a one BR at the Atrium for a friend starting 1/15 for $99/night plus tax
Edited to add: just checked seat availability on our flights...Really not a huge number available. Guess they are just trying to fill remaining seats last minute. Makes sense...

If the difference is more than $75 (I think) it's worth calling JB and getting a credit to your account for the difference in fare price. It goes in your travel bank to use on future trips to SXM. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

The sale prices are also valid out of New York to SXM but we had already purchased our tickets and the prices we paid were better than the current sale prices for our specific flights. We tend to purchase our tickets very early for our normal timeshare weeks, and find we get the best prices doing it that way.
With regard to refunds, if you are able to get a better price during one of their sales, JB definitely does credit back monies to your JB Bank but it is less their fee which I believe is based upon the original purchase amount of your ticket. The only down-side of their policy is that you CAN'T get an actual cash refund and you only have one year in which to use the banked monies. But hey, that's better than nothing, right?! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
