You should buy your ticket TODAY! The fare from ewr-sti is $323.70US, including taxes. I don't imagine it's going get any less expensive than that on Continental; you might be able to save a few bucks if you fly on JetBlue jfk-sti.

jet blue

Remember the jet blue flight arrives at approx. 2am so you will need to deal with that.

i just cheked the jet blue site it leaves at 12:55 and arrives at 4:30 so i would just have to find a friend wo would pick me up at that time well as i said its the first time i pay for it so my parents just told me to wait and if the fare increases they will pay the increased amount so i guess it all works out

Assuming JetBlues cheapest fare is available (which is not for the days you are flying), you'd only be able to save about $50US by on JetBlue. Not worth the hassle of arriving at 4:30am and departing from STI at 5:30am.

Buy now, dude..

I just purchased my tickets on Delta for July. Will travel to Dr from JFK to STI for $323.68. Can't beat that fare. Will be in DR from July 1 to July 21. Delta offers excellent on-board service, departure and arrival time. I dumped AA.
I'm a Delta-man now. " good goes around".

EWR to POP on CAL is $323.70 in January, you do not need to buy a ticket 7 months in advance to find a bargain, but enjoy the trip!
