I've looked into that in the past. Usually we get very little off the
packages. We fly free and a lot of hotels gives us a decent discount.
Although the way flights are booked up lately we may have to start buying
tickets! Standby travel is not what it used to be...
We may just do some small trips next week instead of heading to Jamaica.

We've been to Jamaica several times and have always stayed at the adults
only all-inclusives. We are thinking of going to Jamaica 3/23(my husband
works for a major airline), since we can go on a non-stop flight from
Dallas to MBJ. Any recommendations for smaller (non AI) hotels in Mobay?
Preferably on or very near the beach, and near restaurants, nightlife
etc. We thought we'd try something different this time.
If your husband works for a major airline, have you considered a package
deal air, hotel, and car? I'm sure your husband can get the package at a
discount.

My sister's a TA. She's advising people that even with small trips to
be sure to make guaranteed reservations. If you opt for Florida,
Hawaii, or Gulf States every spring breaker who doesn't own a passport
will be in these areas. My 91 yo father didn't heed this advice. He
thought he could just drive down to Ft. Myers and rent a condo. The
only things available are hotels where you wouldn't want to stay, or
ones that they don't want to pay the price for the room. Last night he
phoned from the Doubletree Suites in North Naples. To night having
exhausted most resorts on the West Coast, he called from some town north
of Orlando. He said he was hoping to get the last room in a mom & pop
motel in some backwater town.
Naturally, we tried everything to prevent him from making this fools
journey. But he was very determined to go to the West Coast. I had
pulled an ignition cable from his car, little did I know he had spare
ones stashed. He left before anyone was up.
So folks learn from his mistakes. For domestic travel to "someplace
warm" be sure to reserve well in advance of your travel. It might be a
good idea to use a TA. They have professional contracts with the major
resort hotels and can often dig up rooms when other resources fail.
