I thought some readers who DO live in The New England area would be interested in my findings but I guess that was interpreted as bagging and/or complaining. I don't get it but I guess it's a sensitive topic. I removed my follow up post and edited the original.
And your contribution is appreciated.
If you look at the first response to your post, you will see a reference to an early morning flight and then a 2.5 hour layover. A large number of SXM visitors deal with that and worse in their quest to get there. Two connections, overnighting on one or both ends of a flight, $1000+ airfare and VERY limited (if any) choices of airlines or airports and days to travel on.
Perhaps is all depends on what you get used to but an early morning flight and a 2.5 hour connection would be pretty appealing to many traveling to SXM.
It was bad for many before but since Irma, it is even worse.
