No, unfortunately! Had good dates for airfare (i.e. a bit cheaper), but BA is booked then. (my available vacation dates are constrained a bit due to work/school so I can't get farther into August)

My hubby wants to try Iberostar/Dressel based on a Funjet package price for airfare & all-inclusive hotel ( + a beach for something to do when not diving. ) I am still researching Dressel reviews and the "use of pier" issue if we decided to try to use another dive op.

I've also tried some different dates for airfare on AA, but not much luck between airfare cost & matching open dates at BA. I am bummed!! We may end up going to the Keys for a very short trip (haven't been there yet) and then work on CZM in Sept/Oct when the airfare doesn't make my hubby's eyeballs pop out of his head.

P.S. Funny story -- I dialed the toll free # for BA reservations and spoke to Jeanie & Mike. They are actually less than an hour down the road from us when they are stateside. Small world!

 

[DandyDon]

Orbitz has nice packages with many hotels and the 100vacation $100 discount, but American is still boycotting them. CheapCaribbean.com has good packages with American and many hotels, and $50 discounts are available.

 

[njones259]

Orbitz is back with American,all we need now is the 200 dollar discount back and I can get my trips back to around 380 dollars.

 

[SeaSoulSelf]

Okay, I got it done!! Barely into August, but ehh, semantics....

Couldn't move the dates to match BA, but we got a decent deal on FJ. Next time will work on the orbitz discount. FJ was running a $200 airfare credit.

leoconnor 29Jul-3Aug Iberostar, DWM diving with husband
