getting out of sxm is not a problem. looked into the next day flights from anywhere and could not find one. tried mia, phila,clt. all full flights. will keep looking right to the bitter end. thanks for all the suggestions.


As I mentioned before, if you're willing to stay overnight in SXM, there is plenty of availability( meaning at least 7 seats)on US/AA the next day.

I saw that, too, and given the alliance (I hesitate to use the word connection given the general context of this thread....) of the two airlines, there shouldn't be a problem, I would think, if the OP was able to return on Sunday. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

We came through CLT on our way home in Feb. We were surprised to see kiosks where you scanned your passport & answered the questions on the immigration form. You then got in line where the officer looked at the printout from the kiosk, seemed to throw your immigration form away & you went on to get your luggage. We flew 1st class & our luggage was off first. Went past a customs official with no form just your passport and was asked no questions. It was fast but if our flight wasn't delayed we would have missed it because we left SXM late. My question, don't they care what you are bring back? Does anyone get searched?

coming home on sunday would mean we (8 of us) would have to find a place to stay in sxm. then on the flight from clt to hartford we would have to find out if the exit row seats would cost us more money.

Exit row seats typically do cost more but under the circumstances, the fee might be waived or you just pay it if that is the only option. I think it is around $10 or so for the exit row seats.

You can also talk to the steward/stewardess when you get on the plane. Advise them of your situation and maybe they can move you to forward seats.

SXM??? Wendell

It should be minimal but under the circumstances, I would push for them to absorb any difference. I would also go directly to a supervisor at this point with any questions/concerns you have and ALWAYS get the persons name and/or badge/ID number if possible.

You'll have to find a place in either SXM or CLT. I know where I'd rather overnight.

Plus, they are offering $275 to help defray the costs of exit row seating.

BTW, if airline tells you there is no availability from CLT on Sunday, they are full of it.

Best of luck.
