However: My wife (Cleta) got an email this morning from United stating that we hadn't yet uploaded our documents, as we're going to a country where they're required. She called the airline, stating that we hadn't been told we had to. The woman at United said that it will make it easier at the airport. We'll see tomorrow.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Different airlines handle it differently. I understand that some people have been able to check in online with Jet Blue.

I didn't know that. Duh, it's kind of useless if you can't print boarding passes! Some airlines determine involuntary denied boarding order based on check in time. The only other benefit I can think of to allowing online checkin without printing boarding passes is the option to pay for checked bags before arriving at the airport.

We were able to check in on line and print boarding passes coming and going in October last year and June this year with Jet Blue.

Elaine--I figured that would be the case, unless you had bought something in the US that you wanted to take back to SXM.

Jaybird,
We flew AA r/t in April and were able to check in on line but as others have said, once we got to the ‘print boarding passes’ section we were unable to go any further. I questioned the counter agent at our airport check-in about the ‘how come.’ And she said it does speed things up but they have to verify all the paperwork and passports in person.
Respectfully,
pat

We’re in the habit of checking a bag each. I used to think AA put those shocking pinkish-orangish tags on them to tell the ground crew in SXM to off-load them last. At least that’s the way it often seemed but I have to give them credit since our last 3 or 4 trips on AA our bags have been waiting on the carousel when we got to it and we’ve always cleared immigration relatively fast.
I have done carry-on only but I’m inclined to agree with those who think it’s just not worth the effort. These days we each take our personal backpacks with our meds and electronics. Our next few flights are on JB and we had to pay to check bags but to me, it’s worth it, but perhaps before I book anymore JB trips I’ll get the JB travel credit card that gives you free bags. At $99.00 per year it’s still less costly than shipping a bag each round trip.
Respectfully,
pat

We have been dealing with the same property managers(two lovely women) for the last 7 years. We go twice a year, and we have a very large duffle bag that we leave with them in their office. They are kind enough to have it waiting for us upon arrival on each trip. It has suntan lotions, hangers, Bloody Mary and Wine glasses, kitchen utensils and knives and dozens of many other items we need and use. Our list of items in this bag stretches over 2 pages.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

That's nice that someone would store your stuff for you. That is very convenient. But bdeeley--I have to ask--hangers??? The place you stay doesn't have enough hangers???

Yes, most assuredly, the women folk want their hangers, with the clips, for hanging their skirts and capris and other quality standard hangers for their tops and b-suits.

We had a favorite maid at the Towers who, for almost twenty years, used to hold a wheelie carry-on bag for us filled with things we thought we needed that weren’t in our timeshare. After Irma we made BSV our new place of choice snd discovered they had everything there and that bag was no longer needed. And then we realized they had a commercial laundry service working for them that is reasonably priced and does a great job.
But we still end up with two bags to ship every trip! I guess I’m just a glutton for punishment! 😊😊

I have to ask--hangers??? The place you stay doesn't have enough hangers??? When I checked in at Divi in June, there were six, SIX, hangers on the clothes rod. Fortunately, I travel with foldable hangers so it was okay. I was disappointed with Divi in several respects this year, and that was one of them.
