The airport? Not at all back to normal, but functional. When your plane lands, there's no jetways to disembark. You go down the old-fashioned outside stairs and board a bus that takes you to customs & immigration. Depending upon how many planes are landing at that particular time, this can go fairly well or take a while. The day we landed -- a Tuesday -- the lines were decent and we got through in about 20 minutes. Then, it's over to baggage to claim your luggage and you're on you way.

When leaving St. Martin I would suggest getting to the airport about 2 hours before your flight takes off. Any earlier is basically unnecessary, and cutting it too tight can be stressful. The airport has 24 temporary service windows set up covering the various airlines. Once you find yours, you can check your bags and get your boarding passes. Then, it's over into another room for security (and another checking of passports) before you enter into a larger room where you can wait and have a bite to eat before heading down to your departure gate. The bathrooms in this area are quite small, so give yourself extra time if there's a line going into the ladies' washroom. From here, you can head down to your respective gate where there is additional seating before you get inline to exit the facility and board your flight. Once again there were no working jetways when we we there last month, so they typically board the planes with two elevated stairways in the front and from the back. To their defense the people working here are doing the best they can until things return to normal someday.

Didn't visit Marigot, but I'm sure others on this board can fill you in.
