Points taken. The adder for us to fly direct to EIS from SFO is usually 10-20% more. (Pre-covid we could sometimes get to EIS for less). Some of that cost is offset avoiding the ferry tickets and extra taxi rides. For years, flying into STT has been our norm. But, we have gotten tired of the ferry hassle and unpredictability. We have missed the last ferry a number of times and forced to stay a night in Charlotte Amalie (extra cost). I think most of this is a function of us traveling from the West Coast. More flight options from US east coast. That NYC/STT direct flight is a good one.
