Government doesn't listen to their citizens, why would anyone think they will listen to our visitors? It's all about greed and has been for decades. Another nail in the coffin

Government doesn't listen to their citizens, why would anyone think they will listen to our visitors? It's all about greed and has been for decades. Another nail in the coffin I also agree Gov does not listen to outsiders , but should because tourist can always take they money somewhere else....... and gov are offended when any good or logical ideas are offered. But GOV should be very concerned when they expect their immigration staff and airport staff to have to work in such substandard conditions. They are the ones that THOUSANDS of upset and hot arriving passengers locals and visitors will have to listen to. It's a real shame because SXM is so unique and could be so much better for everyone and the Locals more than anyone. This airport mess just takes more money and food out of their mouths and more lost opportunity for a better future. But they just don't have good leadership. IMO

I think JFK is Jet Blue and fairly early so they should be ok. Totally agree the airport has been a huge disaster and the people of SXM have been very tolerant. Maybe just letting people know what's going and being informed on this post and many other SXM forms has already helped ? I am never going to scream and shout on my soapbox again or complain about anything. I just never help. I am just going to rollover and suck it up. We can never do anything by saying something. Just Taylor Swift it and Shake it off! lol Let just stop complaining about the airport, bad food or service and everything else and set better examples for everyone else. Oh my gosh .

"Getting a heads-up is always useful. Changing in-flight out of those winter wolens into something light and tropical might make standing in line outside somewhat more tolerable. When travelling these days -and not just to SXM - I just expext a horrible experience. I just try to concentrate on the fact that in a few hours it will be over, and in the case of SXM, I'll be in paradise".
Totally agree with this statement. Not much you can do about the problem so just expect the worse and if not, it's a bonus. No sense in dwelling on something out of your control.....
