Flight Deal: Seattle to St. Martin $389 round trip through May 2017 including Spring Break!

American Airlines is currently offering a flight deal from Seattle to St. Thomas for a total cost of $389 round trip.  This is significantly discounted from regular rates which can easily reach $800-900 per person.  St. Martin is a stunning Caribbean island that has beautiful beaches and an interesting history.  Half of the island is French and half of the island is Dutch. The combination has produced a very interesting culture and brings together two interesting and lovely cultures and traditions.

I recommend using Google Flights to search for availability and then using Priceline to book. 

I currently see tons of availability for exchanging into the Oyster Bay Beach Resort on St. Martin.  I see availability through Interval for September, October, April, May, June, July, August and September.

I also see a lot of availability at Oyster Bay using Interval Getaways.  September and October weeks show availability for as little as $397 per week.  This is a prime example of why it pays to search Getaways and Exchanges before you commit to exchange as Getaways can be an even better economic deal than exchanging your week or points. 

Flight deals can disappear quickly so it is best to book on Priceline since they have a 24 hour fee-free cancellation policy.  Book airfare and then look for the timeshare weeks.  If it doesn't work, just cancel for no fees whatsoever.
