Clarea Posted May 31, 2018 #51 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I got ours today too. $545 today for 2 nonstop to SJU with free bags from Baltimore. AA was $978 for 2 with baggage fees from our home airport of Philly. I'll drive 2 hours to save $400. Good flight times too! Bill Very similar results for us from SJU->STL for us! Half price compared to AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted May 31, 2018 #54 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hadn’t realized you lived close to STL! Well, I would not say close, about 1:45, but it's the closest airport that offers Southwest and other major airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachboy3 Posted May 31, 2018 #55 Share Posted May 31, 2018 We are looking to book flights to San Juan on Southwest Airlines for December. They open up their flights on Thursday for December. Is there a certain time of the day that they usually do this or could it be at any time? Thanks Bill Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Southwest Airlines are currently excepting reservations through January 6 2019. You should be ok to reserve now!

internetwhiz Posted May 31, 2018 #56 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Well, I would not say close, about 1:45, but it's the closest airport that offers Southwest and other major airlines. That’s close. We are glad to be 40 mom to our regional airport at Little Rock. Other than SW, we’d be flying a strange route, and we can NEVER fly direct. From LAX, Delta flies to ATL then back to LIT. American would fly LAX-ORD-LIT. With SW, one stop, Las Vegas, then LIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, makes, sense. Many people don't realize that SW is the largest domestic carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellunderwater Posted May 31, 2018 #60 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Got our SW flights for November today. Used points for both. Hoping a 11:45 departure from SJU is doable post-cruise. Cool with doing self disembark too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTBCruiser Posted May 31, 2018 #62 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just checked R/T from STL to MCO in Nov, not cheap by any means. Hoping they go down between now and then. Checked other airlines and they are still higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunky946 Posted May 31, 2018 #64 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Bought ours today for our Christmas cruise. Going out of pit to fll. Nice late night before and a flight leaving at 1:50 on the day we get off the ship. Good price going down and ok price coming back, but we are booked on points, so I can always get them back.

JTBCruiser Posted May 31, 2018 #66 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Are flights ever cheap from STL to there? Ours are never cheap from LIT Actually yes and at times even to SJU. Price this time STL to MCO is $792 for DW and me. I've been able to get both of us for less than $500. I realize our time line is closer to Thanksgiving but taking a chance if watched daily, the price/points will go down between now and 90 days out.

If it's the second half of the month, I would say your odds of the price going down are low, and your odds of the price going up are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach1213 Posted May 31, 2018 #69 Share Posted May 31, 2018 9-18 Nov. Okay, that's not too bad, you should be early enough (at least on your outbound) to miss the higher costs I would think, but your return is definitely setting you up for those higher fares. I hope your waiting pays off, but I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable rolling those dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahD112 Posted May 31, 2018 #70 Share Posted May 31, 2018 FYI - we booked as soon as they went on sale in November to fly down in June, thinking summer would be peak season. We did ok for flights out of Nashville but for those flying out of Atlanta, they were much cheaper a few months ago. My sister rebooked, saving over $100 pp. Unfortunately it has to be used by each ticketed person a year from when it was booked, so has to be used by November 3 this year.
