They were working on the roof and trim yesterday. I couldn't see any actual interior work in progress.

Actually they are. It's a giant roof.

True, just joking. I'm going see if I can spy some interior work today on my way out.

Don't think you can get near enough to see inside.

That's great, except for those who don't have good mobility, especially going back up into the plane. Also takes a lot longer to load and unload the plane.

Apparently Jet Blue has a ramp in SXM, but I have not seen mention of any other airline using one there.

That would be nice, considering it looks to be what, at least another year before they will be using the jetways?

We came through the airport today and I really didn’t think it was bad at all and particularly for a Saturday arrival. When they were still using the tent back in November we sailed through immigration but luggage retrieval was total chaos. Today the immigration line was long as there were a couple of planes at about the same time but it moved well and baggage claim was a piece of cake. I really couldn’t complain if I wanted to.
Respectfully,

When we landed in back in October. That was how we disembarked the plane. On that zigzag ramp. It worked fine for all, including those of handycapped way.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Thank you all. It’s always such a good feeling being here.
And Lesley Bruce - what can I say? He is such a treasure! For the first time we opted NOT to get our car at the airport and take a cab directly to Royal Islander. Lesley was there to meet his other arrivals and greeted us anyway and then helped us get a cab and deliver all our luggage into the cab. Thank you so much for that and for meeting us later at our request with the car.
As I’ve said so often with regard to car rentals, price is always an important consideration, but the real deal for us is SERVICE and Lesley goes the extra mile to deliver it and with a smile and a hug, too. Lesley, you are the best!

Scubaman--as I have said, Jet Blue is the only one that I have heard of using the ramps. Pat--were you on Jet Blue or AA? Did you have a ramp?

Perhaps they use it when they know they have mobility issue passengers on board?

I've only been on Jet Blue since Irma as it was the only way I could get to my destination without 20++ hours of travel. Have had ramp every time, except the first. I'll let you know in June if we get one on AA.
