Too bad your trip isn't a few weeks later. I believe that after June 9th, inter-island fares are dropping to $39 each way plus fees/taxes so it may be better to buy a ticket for folks traveling after that date. This is due to "go!" (
www.iflygo.com, owned by Mesa Airlines) starting limited service and the others matching the fares.
Someone recently stated that frequent flyer miles are like Confederate currency, I wish I could remember who so that I could give proper credit.
