Do the American business class. That's a great price. Close to what we pay for coach from Seattle
Rita It is better to be happy than it is to be right

It's always good to double-check flights within 24 hours - I believe most (if not all) will let you change within the first 24 hours no charge. I know JetBlue does, seems AA does as well.

Actually, as of now, ALL flights are fully cancellable within 24 hours, so obviously they should be pretty generous with allowing changes.

I agree, in our 20 trips, we have never had a real problem with the ferry. I like landing in St. Thomas, usually by 1:00, getting off the plane and enjoying the smells and temperature of the islands. We normally catch the 2:30 ferry to Tortola.
We have flown through San Juan and even though we might land around 3 or so, we are stuck in the terminal until our flight to EIS. We have been stuck there for many hours because of flight delays. Hate not being able to get out and enjoy the islands right away.

We've done the ferry twice. No major issues. Sitting having a drink while waiting for the ferry was nice. Waiting in all the long lines at customs at both ends was not. One trip the ferry was blasting gospel music (I think it was a sunday morning). I had not problem with the music, would have been nice, had it not been at an ear piercing volume..
I much prefer relaxing for an hour or two at San Juan, grabbing a bite to eat and then enjoying the great views on our flight.
We are fortunate coming from Boston though as we have a lot of options in timing with JetBlue.
Having read most of the topics on this over time, it seems pretty clear that there's no "best" option - What's best really depends on where someone is coming from.
