i am pending for a hut @ tensing pen resort. The resort is giving me off season prices. But not the airlines. Every fare is $650.00 & up. Should i give up and just get a package from some where???? If i wait i lose the hut @ Tensing Pen. Does it get any better, or will price go up, closer to departure? may 11-14 leave jfk to negril.

$650.00 sounds reasonable to me. Most fares I've seen are $700 and up. I'd go for it! Fares can only go up in my opinion!

What city are you coming from? What avenues have you tried? A quick check on Travelocity shows May airfare from my city (Tampa) to MBJ at $400 for May.

i'm coming from new york. Going to jamaica (negril).$4oo sound o.k. but that's from tampa. May isn't peak season. Should i wait, cancel my pending @ the resort i want, and see if published fares get better? Or is jamaica just that expensive to go to.A 3 1/2 hour flight $7oo ? HELP!

Hi, <BR> <BR>Airfares go up and down by hundreds of dollars through the year. The more flexible you are, the cheaper your fare. If you can fly on weekdays, fly when there's a special, book way in advance or at the last minute, you'll do best. <BR> <BR>When I search for your dates at travelocity.com, i get $650. But there are fares from NYC to MoBay for $450 too - if you leave on May 10th and return the 14th, you can have it (as of this afternoon) - that'd save you enough $ to pay for the extra night at Tensing Pen! <BR> <BR>Go to www.travelocity.com and in the middle search box, check "any dates" and fill in "nyc" and "mbj". The next screen will show you fares. Choose a fare then you'll see a calendar that shows the days that fare is available. When you click on a day, it tells you if there are any seats left. I checked Continental and there weren't for May 10 but play around and see. <BR> <BR>:) Liz
