What the heck happened?! Thank goodness we got out on this same flight 4 days ago. OMG, they anticipate a 4am flight now? Oh heck no. Is everyone still there at the airport? Oh, the horror. American AA 866 Sint Maarten to Charlotte – AA 866 Sint Maarten to Charlotte – AA 866 DELAYED 12 HR, 38 MIN 3:22 pm 6:47 pm

4 AM departure?? That's just stupid. Once it was delayed that long, why wouldn't they schedule it for after daylight? Anyone know what actually happened? Sounds like the weather was horrific.

I thought we would know if there is an AA plane on the ground, that it was still the Charlotte flight. But the Maho Beach cam isn't showing the terminal and I can't get the SXM Island Cam picture to come up. I feel sorry for those people on that flight!

Flight did leave and the one today for arrival had a problem , but it was solved late. Delayed for about two hours for arrival to SXM this afternoon. That delay of today's departure will cause people to miss connecting flights from Charlotte I know we wouldn't have made it back to DCA. We were blessed thankfully with no issues this trip. Last year AA stranded us in Philly due to that East Coast flight control fire. Scrambled but got on Amtrak. Whew.

Sent to me from a friend: "You won’t believe our day yesterday. We arrived at airport around 1:00 pm it was hot and uncomfortable. Finally they announce our flight, we board our plane which was late getting in. Sit on the plane, for at least half hour until they get their flight plan. Then they announce that because of some FAA rule where the crew cannot exceed their time we have to return to terminal. We get off then are told that we wouldn’t be flying out till 8:00 am next morning. Then they miraculously find us a plane to take us to Miami where we would spend overnight. That didn’t happen. While leaving SXM to get on the plane we got drenched in the rain boarding the plane had to sit in wet clothes to Miami. Then we are told that we have to check our bags, go through security and board a flight to Charlotte. We arrive in Charlotte to find that our bags left Miami enroute to Boston. Now we are cold and hungry in Charlotte waiting for a flight to Boston. No one from AMERICAN to explain anything- what a mess. AMERICAN has a lot of explaining to do." They got into Boston today at 11:50AM!

OK, I'm totally confused. They left SXM and went to Miami? And then to Charlotte?

Sometimes no bags are loaded on the plane if the plane is overweight, and the choice is either to fly the PEOPLE or not fly at all. We had that situation leaving Antigua one time.
