Direct Flights
 

Where in the Carribbean can I get a direct flight from either Boston or NYC? Thanks!

From Boston- St. Thomas, Aruba, Puerto Rico, Turks & Caicos, Dominican

Bermuda.

The airport website will probably list all direct flights which originate there.

American Airlines is running a special Direct from JFK, $273, rt, through advantage awards. Go to the american websight and sign up and get an advantage #, you can not beat that price, it is good untill the end of dec, and runs for a short time, We tried to book it for our trip next June its over $700 right now. The direct flight is on Sat only. Good Luck

Bargain hunter: I just signed up and looked for a flight from JFK to PLS for March...it comes up with direct, round trip flight and shows:
2 Passenger(s)
Total: 98.90 USD

Is this for real? Does signing up give you free miles or something?

Just a point of clarification for newlywed605 - in airline parlance "direct" is not the same as "non-stop". A "Direct Flight" refers to a flight itinerary where the plane you are on leaves from point A, makes one or more intermediate stops and the same aircraft continues on to your final destination. "Non-stop is just that - you leave from point A and arrive at point B withouit any stops. FYI - a "Connecting Flight" means you swicth planes at one or more of the intermediate stopovers.

Newlywed is probably looking for Non-stop flights out of Boston or NYC rather than Direct flights.

nm, it was allowing to see the price after cashing in miles even though i have 0 miles.

$98, seems impossible but you can always call and confirm. Also I meant the only non-stop is on Sat, at 8:00am, I believe the return is 12:20 Non stop Sat as well. I do not think you get anything free with the advantage # just acess to their sight and deals, they send diffferent specials every Tues.

JetBlue flies out of JFK to Naussau, Bahamas non-stop for less than $100.

Phillyyo-
I tried that too. Even though I only have 10K miless, it was letting me book a ticket for $54 and 30K miles. Are they assuming you are going to transfer the miles needed? I know for sure on Continental's website if you don't have the mileage when booking ticket, they don't let you book it. What do you think will happen?

YoGoGirl: I tried to book it, and it just failed to go through. It gave me some error about not having enough miles. I don't know why they'd let me see a ticket I can't buy, maybe to entice me to build up miles or something.

The $273 American offers was to PLS, Turks and Caicos.

If you check the AAdvantage box when making the resevation, American airlines is simply stating 30,000 is how much miles you need to cash in to get a free fare $54.00 or $98.00 are the taxes and fees.

From October through April non-stop on Cayman Airways from Boston to Cayman, highly recommended.

Also to Cayman, Continental from Newark all year round.

Also (again to Cayman) excellent connections via Miami (only a one hour flight from Miami) from both BOS and NYC (JFK/LGA)
