These barstools are calling your name!Hello everyone, and happy May 1st! Let’s start the month off right… with some super low airfare to St. John! The island is unusually quiet right now, so we would really love to see more of you travel to visit us. It’s a great time to book a trip as there aren’t many parking issues, it’s easy to get a seat in your favorite restaurant, our beaches are beautiful and mostly sargassum-free, and the island is green! Oh and even better, our villas and condos are offering discounted rates. Now that is enticing!
I spent some time this morning pulling up airfares from numerous airports around the country, and I found some great deals. How does less than $400 roundtrip sound? Great, I know! Well I found several of them! Check it out!
How I Found These Airfare Prices
I used Google Flights Explore function. Not familiar with Google Flights’ Explore function? It’s pretty simple to use. Go to google.com/flights. Then click the Explore button in the left sidebar on a laptop/computer. If you’re using a cell phone or iPad, the Explore button is in the top menu. For the airfare listed below, I chose a 1-week trip in the next 6 months. Scroll to the bottom for more helpful travel info.
Low Airfare Prices
Atlanta –You can fly as little as $272 roundtrip! The only caveat is that this price is for United, which means you will have a quick stop in Dulles. This price is for travel on October 30th, returning on November 8th. This means you can spend Halloween on the island, which is super fun! If you prefer to fly direct on Delta, the best price I can find is $589 roundtrip from September 17th through the 26th.
AtlantaBoston – You can visit us during the quietest time of the year, just please buy travel insurance. You can fly for just $425 round trip with travel dates of August 26th through September 2nd. The flight is nonstop flying down, and there is a quick layover in Puerto Rico on the way home.
BostonChicago – Your best fare is happening soon! You can fly from May 18th through May 24th for just $410 roundtrip! The downside is that it’s on Spirit. But for that price, I can deal with Spirit for six hours of my life.
Cleveland – You can spend Memorial Day weekend with us for just $341 roundtrip! The travel dates are May 28th through June 6th, which is a great time to visit. The airline is Spirit, which isn’t amazing, but it’s a great price!

I’m not sure when you googled those prices but I can’t find anything like that using the same search engine this morning. Not even close from Atlanta or Raleigh anyway. Must have come and gone pretty quick.
I looked this up this morning between 8-9am. Are you using Google Flights Explore?
Doesn’t that RDU flight say October?
Yes, my apologies! After an hour or searching, I made an error. It’s fixed now! Thanks!
When showing low airfares, how about showing departures from Atlanta, Ga and Savannah, Ga. There are a lot of us low-country St. Johners down here, in cluding the family of several SJ residents and business owners.
Atlanta is the first on the list. And yes, I can add Savannah the next time. 🙂
Prices on AA and Delta this summer are off the charts from Charleston. $1400.-$1800.! Insane for off season. Glad they are coming down for my Fall trip. I checked for dates around 8 Tuff next February and they seem to be in normal (or used to be normal) range of $500.-$700. for AA.
