No mistake. That is the April schedule and DST is in effect. So SJO is 2 hours behind JFK. Works out to 5:15 gate to gate time northbound and 5:40 southbound.

The worst part is if you purchase an American Airlines ticket, then you would have fly on thier airline. I'd rather stay home.

The good thing is that this is a NONSTOP flight. The bad thing is the schedule. They revised the schedule a little since they first announced this in November Original times, but it still sucks. Leave JFK at 3:30pm and leave SJO at 8:25am. It'll take 2 hours to get to JFK at that hour and an hour in line for takeoff, and then you gotta get up at 5am for the 8:25 flight home.

The Taca schedule is perfect, leave JFK at 5:20am, get to SJO 9:25am. Leave SJO at 6pm, get home at 2am.

Geee Orange, your awfully optimistic the plane will even make it to the line. I'll put 100$ on a scheduling delay, equipment malfunction or the plane your suppose to fly out on didn't make it yet.

At least if I get on the plane, I get the impression we'll eventually make it. Otherswise its the listen to BS flight delay carousel in the waiting area.

The last few months if you chose the non-stop flt from DFW-SJO, the price has been about $500 each way. So a RT ticket from DFW-SJO non-stop will run about $1000 Going thru MIA runs about $600 RT. I guess having the only non-stop flt from DFW gives AA an opportunity to administer premiun priceing
