USVI-On-Line

I was just looking to book my travel from NYC area (JFK) which I have done in the past and find that AA no longer offers a non stop flight to STT?? Anyone know if as next winter comes closer they will add non stop option I checked as far back as Oct 08 and they offered no non stop.

Thanks

I don't know when that change is taking place but we hopefully still have our non-stop from JFK to STT at the end of May. It is flight # 655 outbound and #412 on the return. Maybe te website is under repair with the md-80's. Good luck!

Kevin - I think AA only offers notstop from JFK to STT on Saturdays...

WOW! It's getting harder and harder to find non-stop flights. The flight out of JFK is the one I usually take. As a matter of fact, I'm taking the non-stop flight in May. I went to JFK because I could no longer get the US Air non-stop out of Philly. Let us know how you make out.

I forgot to indicate that we usually travel on weekdays and have not had a problem getting the non stop on AA out of JFK for the past 9 years. Just hoping they will add the non stop on weekdays as time passes and high season gets closer. Stopping in San Juan or Miami usually seems to make something go wrong.

Just for fun i searched for non stop JFK to STT on weekday in August and it still showed non stop flight, but after that (Sept, Oct...)just the flight with stop in MIA or SJU

We're using miles to get to STJ in early June. Since you can't book a flight sooner than a year before, we got the flights we wanted 364 days before our departure date. I recently checked just to make sure the flight times didn't change much. Heck, they didn't change the times, the cancelled the flights and never told us! They automatically changed our itinerary from a one stop red eye to an early morning flight with numerous connections - which we couldn't do. It took an act of God to get things straightened out. AA really does suck.

That is terrible! I can't believe that they didn't tell you!
I have checked our schedule with Delta and it changed a bit. I need to make sure that the rest of our group is checking their flights. We have a few flying AA. Thanks for the heads up.

I just checked my AA reservations for July after viewing this post. They too have been changed both coming & going. It is only by 30 minutes - 1 hour, but I wasn't notified either.

that sucks mark....AA moved our flight's around and included a 8 hr lay over..we called, and within a 7 minute conversation got our flight rebooked from a two stop flight (from; LAX to MIA to SJ to STT) to a one stop flight (LAX to JFK to STT) so my experience was totally different. We were super happy w/the way AA treated us, and i'm sorry you feel othewirse. AA doesn't "tell" you because they figure you will check via your reservation # ( lame i know but pretty clever).

We live in NJ but we will go into JFK the night before, stay at the airport hotel and take #655 direct to STT on Thur 5/15. So far so good, but let me tell you that 8 months out they had no first class frequent flyer seats. We had to use miles and pay some $$$$$. Stinks, but is our yearly splurge that we don't usually pay for so we look forward to first class seats.
