Jetblue has $304 and it now looks like AA/UsAir is now at $303.

It used to be that AA had HORRIBLE connection times out of Tampa (and Orlando) to SXM, but looks like with those prices, I should start looking at Tampa much harder in the future. We haven't flown Delta in a long time--in fact the last time we flew Delta out of Tampa, our flight from Tampa was cancelled THAT MORNING, which didn't leave a good taste in the mouth, but guess we should try them again.

Not sure what it is right now, but the AA connection from Tampa through Miami used be really crappy--4 or 5 hours, something like that, on the return.

As I said, it USED to be the RETURN into Tampa was awful. I haven't looked at it lately.

Again, as I said, the RETURN back in Tampa was what used to be crappy timing...
Edited to add--just looked at the return into Tampa on AA and, unless you would accept that early morning flight out of SXM, which never interested me, the connection involved a WHOLE lot more money or an overnight. So for the return for sure, Jet Blue or Delta would be a lot better.

As I said in my edited post, that's the only one that makes sense, from a price and scheduling standpoint, but I'm just not a morning person, can't stand having to leave that early. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Hangover.gif" alt="" /> We're never on island for nearly that long anyway. About 10 days and I'm ready to come home.

Carol_Hill said: Again, as I said, the RETURN back in Tampa was what used to be crappy timing... I wasn't trying to argue with you in my last post. I intended to reply to wilsonck's post to point out one could be in SXM about an hour earlier than 2 p.m., but your post got posted why I was still typing. But since you appear to be a little feisty today, I'll play along. You actually said "the AA connection from Tampa through Miami used be really crappy--4 or 5 hours, something like that, on the return". It would much clearer to state the AA connection TO Tampa if you're only referring to the return from SXM. I do agree that the flights back to Tampa on AA are not as good as their flights to SXM but there are some decent choices if you can find the right price such as flights 2219 and 919 (leaving SXM ~3 p.m. and returning to Tampa ~ 9 p.m.) On our return, we left at 4:25 p.m. and got back at 11:40 p.m. (via CLT) as we wanted to stay in SXM longer.

Lesley--Sorry to say, the nonstop to Miami is THE most expensive flight there is into Florida. The nonstop is ALWAYS more expensive than connections into other cities. If you send me your dates by PM I can do some checking and get back to you for options.

Something other than Spirit? If Jet Blue is $300, that would be an option..
