Arrow AA: SJU-LAX-SJU and vv. for $730 r/t
just booked SJU-LAX for $365 o/w. Books into D. 77W on the MIA-LAX sector. Routings via JFK also possible.

The fare is also available for $730 r/t and you can also begin in LAX instead (LAX-SJU-LAX) if positioning to LAX is easier for folks.

Fare is available on Tues / Weds going out through the end of the year. Same day turnaround is possible. Not SUPER cheap, but... cheaper than the PTY fares right now. And MIA-SJU is only 60 miles shorter than MIA-LIR, so that's basically a push. With 7-8 daily flights between MIA and SJU, versus 2 daily flights between MIA and LIR, this may create more attractive combinations for some folks.

Cigarettes, I think are $200 or so a box (10 cartons) I don't smoke, but a colleague of mine does and that's the price he's mentioned to me in the past, so don't quote on this. However, I will say that alcohol is good, in comparison with US Duty free. 2 bottles of a litter of rum for around $30. or so. They have some special every so often. My wife has commented that the price on some of the perfumes is good as well.

The one ways avail for $365 on the LAX-JFK transcon are very attractive for anyone who gets lost in the terminal in NY...

(missed OP's One way comment)...

Also books out of PHX for $22 more, if that's up your alley: https://goo.gl/flights/ttuE

Pro: 7 days a week, even on holiday weekends. Returns through JFK.
Con: A321 with recliner though if you route PHX-PHL-SJU you get the lie flat to SJU; somewhat less miles.

Your idea to use a BXP1 on the transcon hooked me and I've booked. Thanks for a great suggestion.
