Aloha Pat,
We book early, the moment we see a deal on big seats or can get tickets on miles. We purchased on Feb 4th for our November trip and so far the flights have not changed a minute. PDX to CLT, and then down. It is on American but still list Operated by US Airways, not sure when that will change.

When we get changes they are rarely good and I am really hoping to hang onto the routing we have. I mostly worry that they will cancel the PDX to CLT direct, as that just makes it too easy for us compared to what we normally end up with.

Sure looking forward to that Bloody Mary on the flight from CLT to SXM !!!

See you on island!
Cheers,
Todd

I prefer the Isle seat
