TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Take Offs the last 2 Days

Not sure if it is due to wind or passenger loads but just about every larger plane going to the US has taken off via the Maho Beach route. I have seen it a few times but this is virtually every US outbound flight yesterday and today. Delta to ATL yesterday went to take off from Maho and then taxied all the way to the opposite end.

Also, rental car prices must be dropping as a new sign here at Atrium indicates 1 free day with a 2 day rental. No idea what the bottom line is but the rental car lots are filling up.

If all goes as planned, I hope to be off of here for a few hours. A drink or two at Greenhouse and then meeting local friends for dinner. I have probably logged 24 hours online the past 2.5 days between working on getting out of here and trying to provide accurate and up to date information amongst all the rapid changes.

I hope you have a good evening. Thanks for all your work to try to keep people informed.

Thank you.

Remember when Irma hit and you and Eric were without internet access? This is pretty similar as far as the posts and how things were going.

Oh, I remember it, for sure..

All of your info and current happenings on SXM after Irma were truly OUTSTANDING.

Thank you.

It felt good to get out for a few hours tonight.

I assume it's most likely the wind. It's been out of the North the last couple of days. I don't remember the wind ever coming from that direction.
