There are people who say that the reason behind higher airline ticket prices to Haiti is the fact that not every airline has direct flights to the Caribbean nation. Flights to Haiti are fewer than to other countries, making the cost of tickets higher. Other factors such as airport and international taxes also affect the ticket price, which tend to become more expensive.

In order to understand the rate of air flights to Haiti or any other countries, one must be aware of how airlines set their pricing system. Remember that the cost of airline tickets usually increase when gas prices rise. Moreover, airlines often apply additional charges for baggage and other services. Seating arrangement, the type of flight, and the travel date, among others, are other factors that can lower and up the price of air tickets. You can likely find a cheaper flight during the middle of the week, while weekend trips are usually pricier.

When booking a flight, it is best to look for travel deals first. This way, you can save up and go to Haiti without having to empty your pockets. There are airlines and travel agencies that offer discount promos and vouchers. All you have to do is keep your eyes open for such offers in order to avail them.

This seems unfair to me. I recently searched for flights to haiti in december and the cheapest was about $1000 roudntrip from the mid-atlantic area and it was couple with 25 hours of traveling.

I'm not sure who's on those flights but i wouldnt be surprised if AA was flying with empty seats.

It's frustrating for certain folks to accept the fact that you'll be alone for the holidays because of flights.

Not a lack of it but the outrageous prices.

It's highway
