I don't know, when we get back from dinner, maybe will check the AA site... With it being weather, we'd be on our own nickel, for sure..

For a nickel, I'd stay an extra day in St. Maarten and give you and Eric a nickel so you could stay an extra day also.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Yes, but the incoming flight is delayed coming in here, and our flight is delayed two hours leaving, as of now. We're trying to decide what to do.

Hard not to stress, and end up on a really bad note from a really nice vacation. When we land in Miami, scheduled now to be 9 PM, in the car by maybe 10 PM, we have a 3 1/2 hour drive, in pouring rain in the dark...

Good luck, Carol and Eric. Stress at the end of the trip is never a good thing. Hope it works out to your satisfaction......safe travels either way! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

boucharda said: The main weather is in the Gulf and north of Florida so the origination of your flight would be the issue...MIA looks reasonably fine. IF it was CLT to SXM then there might be issues....but...your incoming flight seems to be DCA to MIA to SXM so that's good Think you have the flights wrong. They are leaving SXM.

We weren't sure what was going to happen, whether the inbound flight would even arrive when they said. We are on frequent flyer tickets, so we were able to switch to the 8 AM flight tomorrow morning for free. Hopefully the flight from Miami to here that is supposed to arrive at 9:30 PM will arrive here ok. So, we will have a good day today and don't have to face driving in heavy rain at night tonight. If the flight arrives here tonight, we should be fine.

Irina--I hope that evening flight leaves there tonight. If so, we'll be good. We knew there was a possibility that wouldn't happen. We'll see.

So long as that plane leaves Miami tonight, we're good, but hopefully we made the right decision.

In order to leave SXM they would need a plane to arrive in SXM from somewhere. That is what incoming flight means to me...outbound would be SXM to MIA

No way. I didn't think for a minute they would pay me for tonight's lodging. As of when we changed, our flight was still scheduled to leave tonight, although 3 hours late.
I agree that is a good strategy, so LONG AS there are still FF seats. Tomorrow's 8 AM flight was basically half empty, so I assume that's why there was no problem. Technically there have to be FF seats available. Actually, in our case, there were FF seats available for less miles. But! We would have had to cancel, redeposit the miles and pay some kind of expedite fee to do so, which would have cost much more money than it was worth. Re booking for free for FF miles only works if there are FF seats..
