We were to leave at 5:10 and land in Charlotte at 8:46 yesterday. our connecting flight to SXM (the only one of the day) was at 9:35am. This was on US air.
We had to wait for a crew member and be de-iced. Still arrived in Charlotte on time. Got off the plane walked immediately to our gate in the B section. Went to have our passport checked and got on the plane. No time for any break or to buy food. Plane was fully loaded by 9:15 but the captain said they said he could not take off before 9:25.
I was nervous but we made it.
Good flight down and the captain came on and read a proposal letter written by the ladies boyfriend. She accepted and we all clapped! Glad she said yes. It was fun.
Us air lets you order food online before you go for flight to SXM ( not from). Was great since we did not have time for food.
Agree on more time on the way back. Changed our flight this year since we missed the connection last year because of delay in SXM.
