airfares so high!!

I guess you are talking about the original poster who did wait too late. He could have done better a month or so earlier.


Sometimes, but that's no guarantee. The airlines are going to charge as much as they can get, which is not evil - just working for their stockholders, not the passengers. From Denver, there is some competition, but it looks like American has the best fares & schedules. What happened to Frontier? I thought they were offering some bargains?

Your $1100 buy is ok, but not impressive. You could have had them for less than $800. The first choice on all of these pairs is too little time to clear I&C in my opinion, safer to take the longer layoever on return.

You can get there much faster for a little over $800, altho the DFW connection going is a little tight & risky.

Planning on longer layovers each direction would be safer, for $826 for the pair...View attachment 384014

Oh no, sorry. I misread your statement and missed "and hotel." Which hotel did you get?

hotel plaza cozumel. It's a budget hotel, but the reviews are super good, and the free breakfast is supposed to be excellent. It is also walking distance to a few dive shops

I don't care for wasting money on pricey hotels. That one looks nice to me, close to the main plaza, etc. I hope it's close to your dive shop. If you need a car, Isis is very close, and I see the hotel has free parking. I got lost driving in town last trip. My phone would say "tun north" and I'd say "ok, which way is north?"

I am not even sure what I paid for air on this trip, the travel site didnt allow a break down (which is not uncommon). I cant even access it on my Delta account, just the taxes and fees portion. Usually, out of Pittsburgh, airfare runs around 610, which is the going rate same time frame as my trip. I have seen it as low as 480 before on a very rare occasion.
