Husker--You have to take into account that Christmas/New Years week is literally the HIGHEST priced flights there are, so it's not really relevant what the prices are for April.

I almost always book as far in advance as possible because I feel like that is when you get the best price. With the new no change fees you could book what looks good now and if it goes down you can cancel and book the cheaper flight. You won't get a cash refund but will get credit on the airline you booked with. I've done this a bit lately and since we fly a lot it works out great for us.

To echo what George said, we flew back Wednesday and, except Cape Air, every single seat was filled, with long stand-by lists. Between recovering from Covid and high fuel prices, the airlines are probably happy to be generating revenue. Not much incentive to add flights to bring prices down. We're looking at December flights to BVI in business being about 50% higher than this past year.
Don't forget to look at the total price, including baggage fees. And remember that separate tickets may not end up being cheaper.

Coach fare using AA from CTL to STT or CLT to SJU to EIS in May is as much as I paid for first class last November. We are planning to be on Anegada in May. But not looking good right now.
Any word on the Anegada's airport opening up soon?
