Honestly, a little bit. Not really though. I fly Southwest for free, so that fee is the only thing I'm paying. Cancun international fees for a family of 4 is close to $300 vs. $44 to PR. Same with most the other international locations SW flies. Not a massive savings, but hey, it's a free night at an average hotel or 3-4 dinners out while on vacation. Plus we travel about 4 times a year, not necessarily international though of course.
I like the Caribbean, so it would be nice if PR was in a little better shape I guess what I was more a less getting at in a convoluted way. I will still likely go there in the next couple of years anyway, so I'm not saying I'm afraid to go there. When you posted that graph, I was taken aback with PR's ranking. I knew it was bad of course, just not N. Korea level bad.
You plan your vacations around a $50 fee on an airline ticket?

Haiti is the Leftist communist dream. All people poor as dirt willing to do anything for pennies.

As a Canadian, there aren't many places on this small planet that I'd consider moving to. Even for visits, it's getting scarier. Road trip!

Visit California. We need the money to pay off the extortion racket called pensions.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/11/white-house-doesnt-deny-that-president-trump-referred-to-haiti-african-nations-as-s--hole-countries.html President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as "s---hole countries" in a meeting with lawmakers, a Democratic aide briefed on the matter told NBC News.
The Washington Post first reported the news, citing two people briefed on the meeting. The newspaper said that lawmakers had convened with the president in the Oval Office on Thursday to discuss a bipartisan immigration deal.
When lawmakers brought up protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries, Trump asked, "Why are we having all these people from s---hole countries come here?"
