Airfares have been out of sight for a good portion of the country since Irma, and before.

Yes, I think it's very much a function of where you are trying to fly from and when you want to fly, as to being able to get FF tickets. Living here in Florida, doing a nonstop from Miami on AA, and almost always flying off season and NOT on the weekends, we are usually able to find FF seats without any problem, for the cheapest mileage on AA. We always try to book way ahead of time also. We were lucky enough to be able to book FF tickets on Delta through Atlanta for next summer also, booking the VERY FIRST day they were available, but we did have to pay more miles than the minimum for them.

We are not rich people at all, but we rarely pay to fly.We belong to AA advantage and always book as far in advance as possible.How about all you other folks? We buy one way First class and use miles for the other first class tickets. Usually get what we want as we book 11 months out with AA. At a decent price too.

I must say i was in shock when I booked our direct flights out of toronto for Jan 26/19. The cheapest we have ever paid thru Air transat. 497.00 return, all taxes in. It is almost unbelievable,,,so I sure hope its right. We booked through our sister in law who is a travel agent, but I had found the flights on Air Transat sight, so I double checked with her and had her do the booking, cause I was skeptical. Not complaining, that is for sure, just very thankful. We always pay at least 600 or more, and have paid as much as 900.00 direct return.

We are looking at that route for June. Delta from Sarasota is $800 PP but it's $630 for both of us if we drive to FLL. That $1000 savings is well worth the 3 hour drive and an overnight stay. Just waiting to make sure the wifey can get that time off.

I would bet that your flight options change several times before May, so I would monitor and not wait for AA to give you updates. Who knows, they might return with the JFK SXM flight.
They change less than Insel Air where we are getting updated flight times once a week with changes from 10 am to 5:20 pm departures from CUR to SXM, presently at 2:15pm.
I prefer the Isle seat

Promising news. They are working hard for the winter season.
BTW, I reached out to them re: maintenance fees. They sent we'd get a bill when they'd opened, which I found surprising. So to RIC owners, you havent paid maintenance fees since Irma? Easy answer....NO. they didn't send out any invoices for fees post Irma. At least not yet.
