Depends on where you are coming from, probably require an overnight in MIA. I miss the old AA Eagle, playing checked bag roulette, what would be stolen from your bag in SJU

I hope they are still enjoying my collection of Soul and Ska CDs.... Which is why they probably stole a very old and very dirty monogrammed LLBean boat and tote bag from my luggage, to carry their small stolen goods.

The flights are now there. Round trip from Miami in economy: $3958 (July 8-15). Ouch...cheaper by far to do DCA - SJU then Island Birds to EIS. Hopefully the prices come down over time

xrayman--nonstops are almost always more expensive than a connecting flight between the same destinations.
I don't know if it's just my connection or not, but I have been having troubles even connecting to AA this weekend. Are other dates cheaper?

We just priced Monday travel dates in June - $2138 MIA to EIS and $1700 from our home airport in Detroit to EIS with a stop in Miami. Of course you can connect through SJU for much less 😂. I do not have status on American so have to pay for perks and bags but interesting. Will see how this plays out.

It was also cheaper from Memphis than from Miami, but not yet reasonable.
Like Steve, we would pay a couple hundred more for this flight because the timing is a game changer. After a 65 minute layover in Miami, we would arrive in Beef Island at 1:30 pm, which means we can pick up groceries and get to our house well before dark.
Avoiding a boat passage in the dark or spending a night in a hotel is well worth a few dollars more in flights.

I would imagine prices will change since this is a newly posted route, but I will never understand airline pricing. For reference, CLT and ATL are about the same driving distance for us:
June 1 from the AA website;
ATL - MIA - EIS - Main $2,291, Business $3,565
CLT - MIA - EIS - Main $2,215, Business $3,815
MIA - EIS - Main $2,213, Business $3,742

I just checked for a June 7 flight to June 15 and all return trips had a stop in San Juan Flying from EIS to CONUS always means a customs visit. That isn't news, that's just normal.
