Airfare to St. thomas? St. John questions

Hi, we are planning a trip to St. John in mid May. 2 questions: Is this an ok time to go? We had been planning on early April but can't do that now. Will it be much hotter/buggier?
As far as airfare-price now is at $400 or so (flying from New England). Can we expect it to go down or is that pretty much what it's going to be (don't want to wait and have it go up!)
Thank you so much.

We usually go the first week of May every year as ut is the beginning of low season. Maybe we don't know any better but we love to go at that time. I think that $400 is steal. We are paying $600 from Chicago. Good Luck!

yes, $400 is a good rate--jump on it. for comparison shopping on air fares from multiple search engines, try qixo.com

Hello EllieB,

My wife and I will be returning to St. John at the same time. The best price for a flight that I've found is $496 each on United.

I've also seen a $390is flight mentioned in the Boston Globe but did not note the airline.

What airline did you find running at $400?

Thanks,

MM

yes in the $400s is good from northeast.
re: bugs..we were there in month of june. i'd say if mosquitoes love you, then bring repellent. i got bit a few times but my husband and my son never did. it wasn't that bad though.

Thank you so much for the replies, I did get the tickets.
mm- I found them on US airways website(do a search by fare) They were $391 w/ tax etc. flying from Hartford. Boston was maybe $10 higher but didn't have as many travel dates available.
