I have to say this here. Anyone who is going to SXM in the near future has to be prepared for a LOT of difficulty, especially flying in and out of PJIA, which is NOT going to be easy, comfortable or convenient for quite some time. At this point, if you are concerned about having to book a connecting flight, you probably should not be considering even going. Having to book a connecting flight will be the LEAST of your troubles, BEFORE you arrive in SXM. Having a connecting flight into and out of an airport that at least has power, a/c, food, etc., is a whole different situation than flying in and out of Juliana, which will not have the above for quite a while. And then once you arrive, your troubles will multiply, ten fold...

I imagine the airport Post Irma is like the old airport of the 1980's. No air conditioning, limited wait areas, limited restrooms, no luggage carousals, limited gates, very limited flight rebooking. Rental cars would be at a premium, because many appeared to be damaged. Much as many of us would like to help the economy recover, it would not be a pleasant vacation and we will be competing for scarce goods and services which our local friends require to get their lives back together, if we return too soon.

Pack boots not flip flops and work gloves this will not be a vacation. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> I am returning in March 2018. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Best of luck with your efforts. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Outside of minor inconveniences like short periods of no electric, warm rather than hot water at times, we had a great vacation. No crowds easier driving, restaurants we like most were all open an welcomed us with gratitude. We are scheduled to go Dec30, our resort is scheduled to be open Dec.1, but we have not yet decided. Pictures we have received are looking very good.

Not directed to anyone. But a neighbor arrived on island a day or two ago and has been unable to acquire a rental car so far.
