Maybe has to do with the lack of airport landing and take-off slots along with the fact that the two hotels most closely connected to the Canadian airlines are still closed? I think more airlines and/or flights are coming on weekly as situations there improve.
Is it feasible for you to find reasonable flights into JFK? There are non stops available on JB already depending on your dates and AA will possibly reinstate their n/s soon.

If you look on Westjet website, you'll see that they have direct flight sundays beginning April 29th...but it seems to be sold out along with the one on May 6th ! The next available one is May 13th !

Nonstop flights are sure nice, but 90% of the US (let alone Canada) can't get them, and they are even less available now. But to me, if my choice were to do a connecting flight (with reasonable connections, which is in itself a chore for many people to find reasonable connections these days!) and go to SXM, versus a nonstop to the Dominican, I would choose SXM 100 times out of 100!

Having done both and having crappy and expensive air to SXM, I am with you 100%. I doubt I would ever go back to the DR, even if it were NS and free.

Well , our trip is perfect ...staying in Porto for 3 weeks ..weather is wonderful , traffic is a non issue ...Mullet beach is the best ...Orient was ok , parking up to the beach was nice ...almost no one there ....Emilio’s was wonderful , back for second time next week , Bar code lunch and dinner was good value - nice owners . Carrefour at the roundabout is well stocked and I would consider as the place to,shop . Porto complex was basically untouched compared to Ocean club which is a disaster , The French side is a nightmare ...Marigot , sandy ground need major clean up,and rebuild. But as a seasoned visitor I am pleased what we have witnessed ..I thought the island would be in worse condition . The Dutch side is farther along and looks better .. Sorry ..off to the pool ...later

Not Carol, but thank you for sharing. It sounds like a good time and for those of us who have months to wait, any news is good news but good news? That's awesome!! Hope the rest of your time goes just as well.
