Wow, just checked Delta prices from here (Knoxville, TN) to SXM via ATL in June. Just over $3700 for (2) tickets!!!! Even if we drive to ATL (3 hours from us), it's still $2095 for (2) tickets. American from CLT not much better. It's actually cheaper for us to fly Jet Blue from CLT to JFK, then JFK to SXM, even with an overnight stay at a hotel in NY on the return. Disgusted at the price gouging that's going on.

They seem to be all over the place. Friends got air on Delta from Cincinnati and St. Louis for under $600pp/rt. SImilar dates for me from Dayton are pusing $900 and this is for regular coach. AA was even higher.

I guess until the island stabilizes and demand increases rates will be crazy. Last year in Feb (2017) our fare was $1460 RT for two from Knoxville to SXM via CLT on American. BTW Ticker Factory is incorrect - obviously never made the November 2017 trip, and unsure of this years plans.

Are you looking at First Class? We found decent coach fares on AA from NC (thru CLT) for early May. Nope. Those are regular coach fares. Just checked the AA website again and now it’s only showing flights from CLT with an overnight stop in Miami. I thought it might have been a glitch when I checked it late last night. Edited to add: saw direct flights the other day, but not now.

Georgia--looks like to me you should double-check your flights. I'm not finding any nonstop from Charlotte to SXM in early May either.

American just changed our reservations (got an email last night) in June from non-stop out of Philly to stopping in Miami. It does not appear that there are any alternatives (nothing out of Charlotte) other than the Miami to SXM route.

It does not appear that there are any alternatives (nothing out of Charlotte) other than the Miami to SXM route. I had a June reservation (using miles) from Portland - PHL - SXM. I checked it yesterday and now it's PDX - PHL - MIA - SXM. I'm doing a redeye on the first leg so no overnight in MIA as others are having to do.

Georgia--looks like to me you should double-check your flights. I'm not finding any nonstop from Charlotte to SXM in early May either. I just looked at them and there has been no change. Keeping my fingers crossed. Well, after all the comments, I decided to log into my laptop instead of trusting the app on my phone. Yep, we're routed through MIA both going down and coming home. Not only that, the CLT/MIA flight departs at the same time our EWN/CLT flight departs. The CLT/EWN flight on the way home departs over two hours before we land in CLT. Guess I'll have to convince David to make the drive to CLT the night before we leave.

Felt like I had to chime in. Just booked a United flight - Newark to SXM non stop in November (Sat to Sat) for $440 per. Best price I’ve seen in years. Go figure....... Great price!
