First off any information I get is greatly appreciated. I *hope* I'm in the right place for these questions. Me + 5 friends are trying to plan our own vacation to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands this summer. In order to get the price tickets for all of us, we are VERY flexible. We can leave anytime, any airline, any connections, betwen August 1st and September 1st (right now we are looking at the 16th-23th if that helps). We are located in Ohio, but we are willing to carpool to IL/MI/PA/NY to find the BEST flight deal. It seems as though NYC offers the lowest prices anyway. Should we start working on buying our tickets now via priceline? Or perhaps sometime later like in July? As of now, the cheapest I can find a ticket is about ~$350 RT (leaving out of NYC), which is not bad but we were hoping somewhere around ~$250 each. Ideas on how much to bid? When to bid? We are trying to be extremely flexible in order to get a great deal. Maybe if tickets are purchased all together (6 of them) we can get them even cheaper? How well do you think I can do? Once, again, thanks for any help!
