Thanksgiving Travel

Post by Timo »

Hey All,
Just returned from awesome trip to STJ and will post a TR this week. Have a unit booked at Cruz Views for Thanksgiving week which is also our 20th anniversary. Looking at flights from Newark or JFK and they are all off the charts at $1000.00 each non stop RT. I know it's a ways off but, is anyone else having any luck booking for this time period? Thanks,
Timo

Timo, Our group booked flights about 2 weeks ago. We are traveling on a Tuesday before Thanksgiving and returning home on a Saturday. I had been watching flights for several weeks as Thanksgiving week has gotten very busy on St. John. We ended up booking with American (Columbus, Ohio to St. Thomas). There are 8 total in our group and paid between $560 - $660 per person round trip. We really wanted to travel on Delta (get into STT earlier than the American flights), but their flight cost was outrageous (and still is) at around $1100 - $1300 per person. We've been going this time of year for probably 6 years now and used to get pretty reasonable flights, but as I mentioned, Thanksgiving week is usually pretty busy on the islands and I have found better flight prices booking early.
