Jerry--OK, I guess that explains it, and I guess you took what was available. Fares were cheaper on AA when Jet Blue few nonstop from FLL, but that's been a few years since they stopped that flight. I would fly Spirit over Frontier at this point, but Spirit normally doesn't seem that much cheaper than AA. We live about 2 hours from either Tampa or Orlando, and a connecting flight from there to Miami to SXM is often $150 PP cheaper than just the nonstop from Miami. But we prefer to drive the 3.5 hours to Miami for the nonstop, which is worth more to me. We paid about $600 last year from Miami (cattle car seats) and same time frame right now is about $100 more, although we booked our tickets last year, just about as soon as they became available.
