So basically, <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />, since the airport suffered major damages from Irma, the stopgap is a row of tents to attempt to accommodate people clamoring to return to St. Martin. I'm sorry but we all went thru the pitfalls of checking in, security, dropping off luggage and the oft happening hours long delays for a flight. Can you even imagine what it's going to be like when they rush to restart operations here. I am not at all surprised at the total lack of any obvious signs of work being done on the main terminal. Oh yes, it will commence on Island time. As a close friend of mine stated, hey, what could go wrong ? Wow.
