I am not sure if my issue is due to only flying on Saturday's. But the cost to fly into EIS is much much higher than STT and takes a lot more time. Flying out of CLT I can almost always get a direct flight to STT and have no worries about luggage. We have also learned over the years that a backpack each and a duffel bag suffice for the BVI. That keeps all my stuff in my control not the airlines. Agree with you about AA. But with CLT as one of their hubs, it is what it is.

WHICH 737's? The Max 8, or the other one? I understand there is also some issue with other 737's now.

George--thanks. With all the stuff regarding the Max 8, I wasn't sure whether this other thing was really a big deal or not.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all of the insight. Funny because my XM talk radio literally JUST had a quick news update regarding the information about the max jets y'all posted about. TTOL, the first source for breaking news!! Lol! We have our charter scheduled to push away from the dock at noon, so the majority of our travel will have to be completed the day before. Travel from PHX is tough, as flying into STT would require a redeye in order to get there in time to catch a ferry and get there in time. The husb doesn't do redeye flights also, soooo... *sigh* Seems like SJU to EIS is probably still our best bet.

From the West STT is the way to go and has been for a loooong time. We fly SFO Miami or Charlotte to Stt. Totally agree....

If Silver was even remotely reliable.....I have spent enough time on Abacos FB pages to hear otherwise..... I fly them in and out of Beef Island 2-3 times/month and have had very few problems. Maybe it's different crews/operations than Abaco but here I think they are the best option in terms of reliability...
