Carol,
I just finished booking our April JB flight down and the cut-off date for this release is MAY2 for sure. Once again, I had issues with the JB website and called. The agent couldn't have been any nicer and said people have been having problems all afternoon so no charge. And I wasn't paying too much attention but she may have said they did away with their telephone booking fee altogether. Or not......
AA is still not showing coach fares for April 15 on the N/S we generally take and the discounted First Class seats are around $550.00 each one way so even though I would prefer AA we're flying JB for $289.00 each for the up front seats one way for our flight down.
Our dates aren't available for the return so the agent suggested I check back in 6-7 weeks. And while I was on the website I looked at the JFK to Boston to SXM - wow! I hope for all you Mass flyers it's an error but right now they're showing that flight as a JFK option at $900.00 + or - for one way! I hope you don't have to pay that kind of money...... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Terry,
Think about changing your time frame from Friday to Friday to Wednesday to Wednesday if you can. It gets you further away from Easter and you can do two tix for under the price of one for your current dates. Just a thought..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

lobstaroll123 said: Booked on Sunday for April 2017- BOS, JFK, SXM down. SXM Boston Back April 20-29. Just under 1200.00 for two people. First flight out of Boston is 5:40 am. We are taking a 5 something flight out of SXM that gets into BOS about 9:30 ish. Guess they have done away with the Sunday non stop. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Yes we booked March 18- April 1 for a little under $1200 but flights are direct, no stops, going and coming BOS SXM SXM BOS. Won't buy that extra time anymore because twice we did and waited at TSA watching people without it go faster. TSA agent told me it's because JB pays for only one dedicated agent so most times other lines go faster.

Guess they have done away with the Sunday non stop. We are flying N/S both ways on Sundays in January (BOS) and I checked the 1st 2 Sundays in April and there is a 1240p N/S from BOS (#377)with a 540p return N/S to BOS (#378) ..and re: extra space: it's TSA precheck that gets us into that line and I have never seen more than 10 people in front of us (in BOS) vs. a crap load in the other line. Paying JB for "extra space" gets you priority boarding and a better seat pitch. I do agree just paying for "extra time" every flight is kinda a waste.

Check the seat map...133 empty seats on that Sunday flight #377 (April 2nd)
Maybe one seat AT THAT PRICE

The "only x seats available" is totally bogus. In my opinion it is just a ploy to get you to book NOW... FYI...I was able to potentially book 4 one ways at that "only one seat available" fare....with basically the whole plane empty they are not gonna raise the price after only a few seats are booked.. Itinerary Estimated total 4 travelers $1,111.60 USD

With the exception of special sales, it seems all the airlines are off the wall with pricing right now. We were trying to book for Easter weekend travel to SXM from JFK and their one way fare on the only nonstop is still showing a price of over $800.00 for a Saturday n/s flight.
But the good news is, I received a notice this morning that JB is running a sale for dates through early November so perhaps you can cash in on that for your friend?
You'd think with the lowered prices across the board of fuel and the increased revenues from seats and baggage fees, etc., you might be able to catch a decent fare but I think there's this thing called greed...........and the airlines are cashing in on it as much as they can get away with.
Respectfully,
pat
