The tipping comment had me chuckle. Every years we travel to St. Maarten with my parents who are now both 91. Last year, we had our tip ready to go when we arrived at the airport. We bring our own transport chairs for them, it's easier not having to potentially wait around for a chair. The helpers were at our side as soon as we exited the taxi at JFK. By the time we reached the gate after receiving the most amazing service, we increased the tip five times! The helpers in St. Maarten were also very attentive and provided excellent service to us! So appreciative of the work they do!
