They have got to be kidding right?

El Tigre · May 1, 2006

I just went online to check some travel dates.

Plugged in Jul 19th through the 23rd JFK-STI on Delta.

Came back at $810

ARE THEY KIDDING??? OH MY GOODNESSS.

I mean if it's Christmas I would understand but summer two months away from now? Come on!!!

See for yourself:

jet blue

I am not American, but from what i heard Jet blue flies into Santiago daily from New York. and good rates i heard.

i considered doing it one time when the rate was 49.00us. but from toronto its a bit stressful.

we are lucky that we have charters to the island daily and ususally at good rates..

good luck with it.

Corazon thanks for the Jet Blue options. I try to fly on Delta only as much as I can. I've never flown JB because of their schedule. I haven't flown AA since December of 2004 and don't intend to either.

jet blue

well if you can save money on jet blue i guess its worth it. but if you get points on delta i guess you have to weigh out your options.

suerte.

i wish i was planning a trip there, i miss my people....aye mi corazon

Must be some sort of computer error. Ckecked same dates on Expedia and AA has lots of round trip flights for about $450

Delta is throwing their prices up high to see who buys them but once they see that everyone is going to American and JetBlue because of prices they are going to go down.

aviastar · May 1, 2006

Well, I think Delta needs to refresh their fare policy in this case

santobonao · May 1, 2006

Damn que caro

La Profe_1 · May 1, 2006

Delta is obviously more expensive, but you can get the price down a bit. I searched here: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/ and got a price of $696 for departure one day sooner and different flight times.

Don't know if it helps, but it is an option.

Thank you for the info, i will foward this to my friends over the latin american region Dept. And i will check back with you.

I just came back from Santo Domingo Today, Flight left ontime .
Atlanta-Santo Domingo Load factor so far 87%....but we need a 97% to break even....

Latino2002 · May 4, 2006

I am back, the reason of that fare is the flt is complete full and they are selling those fare to hight vs AA wich is about 450.00usd.
Its seem that a travel agency has part of the plane full with a group.

apdomini100max · May 4, 2006

Well Latino not that I have anything against you or Delta ( I actually like Delta) but the high fares are all over the place while AA has them much more lower.

El Tigre · May 4, 2006

Latino,

Same thing happens when I do Jul 12 through the 16th. What's going on man? Man o man I don't want to fly AA.

Its ok..i really agreed with you, but thats what they told me..that that day flt is been full and the lower fares has been taken for a group.

I already complaint about it........
let see what happend next.

I befriended a dominican bartender working at JFK (T8) and she claims most flights to DR do not leave ontime. She hears lots of complaints ! I've had one late departure - that's all !

apdomini100max · May 6, 2006

Aviastar not that I dont fly AA but they have all sorts of problems.

I fly, at least, 20-30 segments every year (only AA) and other than a few (like 3-5 every year due to misconnections, late departures and the occasional unfriendly FA's but this is a given with any airline).

If I was flying without status, that would be another thing ! Because without FC check-in, Admirals Club entrance, upgrades to FC/BC, and exit row seating, I would hate flying.

As a tourist is Jet Blue worth the inconvience of having to travel in the middle of the night?
