Heads up--Am Airlines has good fares

[LUCY55]

Oh DARN!! Fares went even lower. Could have used the $128 fare RT from ORD-MIA. I paid $158. How can they make any money?

Should have with you both the airline telephone number and the cruiseline telephone number.

 

I still have both programmed into my phone from my last cruise. Make sure you have the day-of-travel number for the cruiseline programmed in, not just their main customer service line.

WOW Lucy! What are your travel dates?

 

They make money by NOT lowering fares in other markets. St. Louis just a little way south of you is high as a kite! In Chicago, they compete with United, Southwest and probably other discount carriers.

 

I can get a good rate if I fly in two days early and leave one day after cruise. So faced with three nights hotel when I only really want to come in the day before.

It is more about dates. This is a Jan 7 to Jan 15 trip. At that time there are $143 (+fees) fares from STL to MIA. I believe you are looking at April. I would just wait. Possibly fares will come down. However if your dates are still part of Springbreak or Easter--they probably won't go as low.
