We absolutely fell in love with STJ and decided we had to go again this Summer. I monitored prices for months and we finally pulled the trigger at $404 RT on American- we were hoping to get a better deal like last year. But it didn't look like it was going to get much cheaper. However, we are flying direct both ways. Can't beat a short 4 hr plane ride to paradise!
$404 RT on a traditional airline with direct flights is really a great price in my opinion, is that for weekend flights or weekday? For weekends from Boston area we're usually lucky to get under $600 including taxes, weekdays is a different story.

I guess we were really spoiled last year with the $330, so we were trying to be greedy again this summer. :D We fly down on a Friday morning (8/12) and return on Tuesday afternoon (8/16).

Yes, you were spoiled! From Milwaukee/Chicago I'd be happy to find $404.

The tickets I want have dropped $150 in the last two days. I'm still holding out.
