Flights to St. Lucia?
I am attending a wedding in St. Lucia next March. The closest airport to me is DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth). So far, the cheapest flight I can find is $750 round trip (for a non-red-eye). I am wondering if it would be cheaper to fly to a different airport first - like JFK or O'Hare - and then fly on to St. Lucia? I noticed JetBlue was offering flights for $99 one way to St. Lucia, but that special expired earlier this month. Any ideas or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated! :)

If JetBlue has flights to St. Lucia, that would probably be the best fare. You'll have to make an intermediate stop anyway, so you may as well see from which city you can get the best price. Don't forget to look into flying from Miami or San Juan, for example. From those cities you may be able to get regional airlines [e.g. AirJamaica, etc.] that may have lower fares.

Faire to St. Lucia is always on the pricier end compared to other Caribbean countries. Most likely from fewer flights. carriers, and or popularity. Keep checking, prices from Texas should go down as far as $500. Jet Blue is new on the scene, hopefully this airline will cause a price war for all the carriers. $700 to $900 are more like California prices. I'll leave you a resource link below for the Island.
