Which airline did you or your TA choose and  what is a reasonable rate for airline tickets? I'm trying to decide if me and Fi should go ahead and book flights now or see of the prices will go down somemore.

We are using U.S. Airways because they have a hub here in Charlotte and it's a direct flight. I only live about 30 minutes from the airport so it's pretty easy. The last thing I wanted was a connecting flight! I am not taking the chance of losing my luggage! We booked our flights right away. The rates were cheap and I'm a planner. I freak out when things are procrastinated. Ask your ta about the prices. Mine is very good with that stuff and can usually give good advice.

We just returned from Jamaica and flew US Airways (transferred in Charlotte).  The cost was $530 pp.  You might want to be sure to check the new checked baggage fees too (esp. if you're taking OOT bag items or anything that will weigh/ cause you to have more checked luggage).  US Airways charges for all checked luggage whereas Delta does not (up to 2 bags)  if you're flying to the Caribbean.  It costs us an extra $65 to check our 3 bags.  So the money we saved, wasn't really saved at all.

I am not sure where you are flying out of-but we are on American Airlines. But I have some guests coming on AIr Jamaica(got lucky with one of their sales), Continetal, Northwest and Delta. From Houston-I have seen flight as low as $321 for November. I was literally checking every airline everyday for at least 2 months.

Air Jamaica has great prices and champagne flights!  They also fly direct out of Philly with awesome flight times so that's what we used when we went to Jamaica.

Air Jamaica but they fly out of limited cities.  From Baltimore it's direct - Fabulous!

I am flying out of Indiana so we will probably have a changeover no matter which flight we choose.  Thanks for the heads up smile4milz on the airline. I am bringing OOT stuff and bags and advice will help.  I can't wait to read your good, bad, ugly

I flew out of Indy too.  My G/B/U was in with my post on 10/13...it's a long post, so be ready to read!  HA!

About the cost, we paid $450 but waited to book FMIL's ticket and was able to take advantage of a sale.  Paid $287 for her.
