Trying to go Miami to St. Thomas and the fares are outrageous - over $600 - American is the only carrier. What can I do to cut this a bit? Any coupons or deals I can take advantage of? I have some time until my trip, does this route get discounted ever?

Try calling 1/800 FLYCHEAP

<BR> <BR>Actually, American is not the only carrier on that route; it is the only non-stop carrier, which is why you're seeing such a high fare. Several airlines serve that route. Most connect in San Juan. A round-trip fare for less than $500 can be found either through the individual airline page or by doing some simple research on one of the travel sites.

If you can be a little flexible with time of depart/arrival....try priceline. i just got two round trip tickets from providence,ri to STT(in june 2002). $489 each round trip.only 2 stops on the way back and one connection on the way down.

hello people - look at the date of the original post!
