Island hopping - 03/07/2015 06:11 PM
We are spending a week in St. Martin in July and are then going to spend a week in St. Lucia. We are flying on LIAT airlines leaving SXM at 3:30 and arriving in Antigua at 4:10. We leave Antigua on a different flight at 5:20 to go to St. Lucia. Since we have never done this, what can we expect at Antigua in terms of the transfer, i.e., luggage, customs and immigration? Is that enough time in between?

You will be shepherded through a transit area. I've been on LIAT flights when they wait for everyone to get there. Great if your flight is late, but maybe not so much for the people who are on the plane. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

You know what LIAT stands for... Leave Island Any Time, Luggage In Another Town.
It is true. Take everything important in cabin and be prepared for anything.
You'll probably be fine but I've flown Liat quite a bit in the past and recommend you go with low expectations and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.
