I have never gone through an aborted landing, but I wonder whether the passengers knew there was that possibility or not. That Spirit landing would have made me pee my pants, if I was onboard.

The last I knew, there was a TELEPHONE NUMBER for Vicky, printed on a piece of paper, right in the living room.

One more thing about the old Westin, it had a casino for night time entertainment...that s not there now and I certainly would not want to venture out on that road going in at night....and no beach at Morgan, but an incredible pool and Sunset Beach is close if you don t mind being in the masses...and sand pitted lol.

Went to Peter McCools (relatively new Irish Pub in the village) twice. Although there isn't much on the menu that I would call Irish, (they ran out of Irish Stew the night we were there) the service was impeccable, great atmosphere playing classic rock tunes all night. Good selections of beer including, you guessed it, Guiness. The 2nd time we went we sat at the bar and had a few drinks and the bartender was great, he was testing out new and different cocktail mixes so we got to try some of his latest concoctions. We ended up just eating some apps and struck up a conversation with a couple from NYC that were sitting next to us so it quite a pleasant night and I would recommend Peter McCools for both service and good food.

@Colour1 - that was the point of my posts; there is no profit involved, just costs. Since those who should pay are not going to be made liable, the government is going to have to foot the bill and they won't do so unless the complaints are loud enough or made by those with leverage.

"Now, according to salvage companies, the cost to remove it will be around $10,000." Are they kidding with that number?? For that price, no one will want to "tow" it away!! At this point, there is nothing of any value to resell!! I can see, this is going to be another "D'Boat" cluttering up Simpson bay beach!!

As nice as the Morgan is and close to a lot of things to do. It doesn't have a beach, where as JW has as you know has Dawn beach! We stayed there "Westin" many times with all property and all that it offered was five stars all the way!! Yes, staying there is very different vibe then anywhere else on the island! No, I couldn't stay there the entire vacation! We only stayed there for 4-5 days before checking in to BSV!!! It's definitely that high-end resort feel, if that is your liking!!

I've only had 1 aborted landing at PJIA. Wasn't a pleasant experience and I think I still have my wife's fingernail marks in my thigh. 😉

I went to happy hour after posting, then met a friend who is an airline pilot (but here on vacation). He spent 15 minutes online researching the approaches and didn't find a published one for that approach on runway 28 and couldn't. So he was talking about the options the pilots would have and a lot depends upon their airline's rules. Once the tailwinds died down Air France came back (I had a friend on board, who said they landed in Guadeloupe but didn't deplane and then returned here). So while the big aircraft could make it into SXM, their published corporate rules prevented them from doing so. Somehow Spirit has more lenient rules.

Scuba, I don't think the departure would've happened even if Delta landed. Those pilots must be out of hours to fly home. I would hope the return flight would've already been cancelled before the latest landing attempt. I am not a good flyer & watching multiple attempts to land tonight stressed me & I'm glad I'm not any of those today especially Spirit!! Yikes!

That means departure won't happen either for those planning on leaving. Now they'll have to scramble for accommodations.

There’s video on FB of Spirit NKS100 landing on runway 28, what some people call “wrong way”. You can also see the track for NKS100 in your favorite flight tracking app.
