I'm looking for the best deal from Chicago to Provo; there isn't one. But, I found a great deal Chicago to Jamaica. Does it make sense to take that and then get to Provo from Jamaica? Is that a stretch? How about Bahamas to TCI? Help!

no you will have to fly back to miami from jamaica. can you get flight to nassau (TCISkyking flt400 12:30-2:00;$343/pp) or how about charlotte or atlanta.
i know what you mean about the prices. just awful.

What I'm especially trying to do is reduce travel time or at least unnecessary flights(which I don't love, anyway) To get to Provo they want me to take 3 flights and like 20 hours, etc. Not. I did find some good low fares non stop Chicago to Montego Bay or Santo Domingo. Can I take a ferry from either to Provo? Or should I investigate the Bahamas angle? Thanks.

We have been looking at Provo also. We've found horrible flights from our hometown in Texas. Mostly triple connections with overnights in Miami. However, I found one flight on AA if we flew to Houston, stayed overnight and fly out the next morning we'll leave at 2pm connect in Miami and be in Provo by 8pm.

We have done that many times to the Caribbean due to our remote location in West Texas. We'll fly Southwest to either Dallas or Houston, spend the night and start our package at either IAH or DFW. It's a pain and inconveneint, but some destinations, it's the only way we can get there.

When we went to Grand Cayman, we were able to fly Southwest to Hobby, cab it over to IAH and leave on the 4pm flight that same day. If we can get an early SW flight, we might can get to IAH to catch the 2pm flight. Check other airports within your vincinty.

Try to fly to Ft. Lauderdale, then Spirit Air flys to TCI (Provedenciales) and they are a budget air. Another option is fly into Miami, then take AA, or Charlotte and fly Usairways, or Atlanta on Delta.

Thanks for the ideas. My husband hates to fly, too, so we're wondering...can we fly direct into one of the more common destination islands nearby, then boat to Provo, or is that too impractical/expensive?
