Hah. Sorry, Florida is one of the WORST places to get a non stop flight from on the East Coast. There are nonstop flights from Miami on AA, and on Spirit from Ft. Lauderdale (weekends only). That's it for non stop flights. AA flights nonstop from Miami are outrageous. For June this year, AA wants SIX HUNDRED FIFTY dollars for their non-stops. If you book a connecting flight, which goes THROUGH Miami or Charlotte, it's always cheaper. I myself just booked a trip from Tampa to SXM, flying to CHARLOTTE and back down, then through Miami on the way home. $407 roundtrip

We actually normally drive to Miami for the nonstop. However, we had to buy one ticket and the difference in price between booking Miami-SXM versus Tampa-Charlotte-SEM and SXM-Miami-Tampa was $250 MORE {per person} to book just Miami-SXM and return.

SOP from Florida. Florida is not a great place to fly from to SXM. I keep hoping for more choices.

Flights from SJU to SXM are WAY expensive, plus being on a whole different ticket. Not really an option.

Connecting flights are almost always cheaper, much cheaper, than the nonstop AA flights from Miami. As I already said here, $250 cheaper for me to fly from Tampa and connect, than to take the nonstop from Miami in June..
