Has anyone else had the experience that Air Jamaica's fares seem to vary wildly from day to day?

Welcome Tbrubes...we always fly AJ from BWI. I, however, don't deal with the airline madness but trust my travels to Kim @ Caradonna.

Tbrubes...might be spring vacation and Easter holidays, etc. causing the fluctuations. Rates usually show up cheaper during the week (Mon-Thurs) than on weekends, too.

Kim always comes thru for us too.

We booked our AJ seats last month for our April trip and noted the same thing - the AJ prices varied wildly almost day to day. The low price was something in the order of $520 round trip (Philly to Bonaire), the high close to $1100. We got seats for $678 and felt lucky. We even tried to get AJ to give us a discount or credit once the price dropped to $520, but no such luck.

Thanks everyone for the input. The fare has dropped again today back to $630... I'm on the fence as to whether to gamble and wait for it to go into the 500s or jump on now before it spikes again!

We used Kayak.com to price travel to Bonaire. By altering dates for our trip, we were able to schedule our trip after Spring Break and Easter when prices were through the roof, and so focused in on the economical travel dates of April 21 - 28. We purchased our tickets in early February.

Yes, we use Caradonna for everything. I call Kim, tell her when we want to go; she already knows our resort preference and she makes it all happen. We always fly first class and AJ's fare is reasonable. Kim knows us like family so she works her magic and......off to BON we go twice a year

Have the AJ flights been timely? I know about a year ago there were some problems, but haven't heard any complaints lately. We thought we'd try them again....for June.

I paid $420 from Atlanta. One stope in Jamaica. Tix were purchased in DEC for a June 2nd trip.

Has anyone ever received Air Jamaica tickets with unassigned seats numbers. I'm with a group of 20 and six of us don't have assigned seat numbers on the first leg of the trip. I'm told they only assign a certain number of seats and the rest get assigned upon check in. Hopefully we won't have any problems with this. If it was our last leg I would care less...but it is our fist leg of the trip. We are flying ATL to Montego Bay to CUR with Air Jamaica.

Call them and get seats assigned!

By Tammy Young (BonaireTalker - Post #24) on Tuesday, May 8, 2007 - 12:15 pm: |
I will call and request about getting seats assigned! Thanks for the encouragement....
