You are correct sail2wind there are no directs from DFW to SXM but we find it easier even though it's basically the same time in the air. I find SXM airport to be better run than STT as well as the private/semi private ferries that run to Anguilla are waiting for you just outside airport amd give excellent FRIENDLY service. All that makes the travel day seem less tiring. We love the BVI but Anguilla is a beach lovers paradise !
