05/2007 - Airline tickets getting crazy - Is this affecting your plans?

[Mr Hillbilly]

Keep in mind Spirit sarted a NEW Company with 30 year old planes. They were only ones to turn a profit last year weren't they? Just becuase other carriers charge more doesn't mean they have higher profits margins if their carrying higher debt load with new planes. But I was waiting for those buisness tips!!!

What new company are they starting? I was under the impression all Spirit planes are brand new.

They happen to eat what we eat, in Medellin. Some of us don't spend 18 hours a day looking for chicas.

No they spend all there money on food and don't have left for Sunblock!

Like I said before you won't find any girls with Visas with your head stuffed in a Pizza box you have to go on patrol.

I can fucking eat when I get home.

In search of PASTA or in Search of CHICAS?--if its the later just download pics off Fazolis and masturbate all day!

You should be out there right now, searching for Visa chicas while your novia is hard at work instead of telling everyone else what they should be doing.

Leaving now as matter of fact.

There is just a fine line between posting food pics and chic pics I think the food has taken over.

I like good food too at times.

There are no fine lines when we can post as many pictures as we want.

Most of Spirits planes are old.

A new paint job and interior I guess go a long way.

Don't know price difference between new planes and old but I bet it is alot.

Where are you getting this information from?

According to their wiki:

As of September 2009, Spirit’s average fleet age was 3.3 years old.[25] Spirit has the second youngest Airbus fleet in the Americas[26] after the Mexican airline, Volaris.[27]

[Mr Hillbilly]

Got the same info on internet. But be careful of WIKI they said Colombian drug trade was 2 billion a year buisness--- the Colombian government alone seized more than that last year and I am sure the percentage they caught was low.

I am checking into flights for April. Pittsburgh tp POP. Getting down is easy, getting back is either a full day travel (get home after midnight), or a layover in Miami. Are ther any cheap hotels that have a shuttle. I was thinking of getting a good night sleep and home by noon the next day.

Any good hotels? Hoping to hear from either locals or people that use Miami alot.

many thanks in advance.

There is the Marriott complex and they have free shuttles.

There is also a Holiday Inn but I prefer the Crown Plaza they are usually the same price or cheaper and their free shuttle will take you down to South Beach so you can hit the clubs because they go pick up at the port.

You cant even get a direct flight out of JFK on AA. what kind of bullshit is that ? Some of their flights even have 2 stops, from JFK to POP ?
I can get to fucking Kazakstan with less connections. Ny'ers dont put up with that shit. They should just stop doing the DR altogether, IMO.
Back like 8-10 years ago, They had direct flights , no , or am I hallucinating ?

I know this post is 3 months old but i never saw it before. I used to fly direct to POP out of JFK for cheap. Once i paid 225 including tax and 250 tax included quite a few times also. Tax used to be $107

[FritoBandito]

Holy effen hell, was checking AA summer rates and man did they jack ticket prices way up!!!! Same flight schedule as in March, the July flight will cost me almost $300 dollars more!!!!! What the f**k?????

Biggest hike I've seen in airline fees since I've been flying to the DR (3 years)!!!!!!

Good luck with your Sosua clean-up, mayor, airline rates go any higher and you'll be left with a nice respectable ghost town...........

Yeah.. "Increased fuel charges". Spirit jacked up their fairs $150 too.. I should have booked for the rest of the year when I had a chance.

[BCell]

lowest fare on aa (NYC-MDE), is $306 each way before taxes, unbelievable

[Mr. Smooth]

I was wondering when this subject might rear it's ever so ugly head. I was just checking for the helluva it last night what the fares would be for my June and September trips had I booked now as opposed to the last week of January when I did them both within a few days of each other.

As I am also flying AA, my costs would have been another $475 dollars combined for those flights. No doubt it will only be going higher in the oncoming weeks. Although my Mastercard took a major hit on this month's statement, it would only have been worse in March or April. Glad to get it behind me.

Oil prices on the world market are going up and jet fuel is following suit. And the airlines will be passing their cost onto the public. Guys, if you can at all afford to pull the trigger now on a flight reservation, even if it isn't until Oct-Nov, DO IT!! You will save yourself some cash.

AA just tripled the mileage ticket requirements from POP to Buenos Aires! Astounding!

[Chief Papi Lindo]

does anybody know why fuel is going up?

[knotty]

does anybody know why fuel is going up?

the dollar is getting weaker and the revolutions occuring in the middle east, and also not to forget, China & India are demanding more of that black gold.
