So, I was looking for airfare to SXM for next year out of Orlando. SW is listed as "pending approval". Anyone have any idea when it will actually be approved?? Weird, though, the price was $1000 a person in June!! Yikes!

C&I Beef Island
charlie
3 hours ago
This is a question about clearing Customs and Immigration on Beef Island. In the past we have travelled to the BVI and we were always given a C&I paper form to fill out before we got into port. But last year we flew into Beef Island from Miami Florida and not given a form. When we got to C&I they had a computer device set up for you to hold your smart phone up to and answer questions on your smart computer thingie. Ahem, not to tell you how old we are but the only phone we had was an old school flip phone and that would not work. When we got up to the window and were asked to download our info onto their desk machine we told them that we did not have that computerized equipment and were used to filling out a form. We got a young person omg who are you look and were told to go sit at a table. After many minutes a clerk came over and ran the questions by us verbally and we figured that was it. Nope! Then we were given the "old school" forms and had to fill out both sides as we did in the "old" days and then get back in line, have the papers gone over and then got our passports stamped and then were admitted into the BVI for our vacation. So the question here is are they still doing C&I this new way or offering senior's the paper option to speed things along? We are again flying into Beef Island for three weeks on Virgin Gorda. Information/updates appreciated.

Air Transat Pilots Gives Union Strike Mandate
Whale Tail
4 hours ago
The results of a pilot strike vote were released today, 98% of pilots voted and 99% of pilots voted in favour of striking if a negotiated settlement can't be reached. They are in a 21 day cooling off period now and the earliest they could strike or be locked out by the employer is Dec 10th.
Of course, we have 2 return flights already booked  One later this month and the other late Feb 2026. The Feb flight I'm not worried about but the one in Dec is 24 days away and if I were to book on another airline the price at this late date would be astronomical.

Hotel for one night
RatmansWife
7 hours ago
Caribbean Airlines has cancelled service from Barbados to Tortola effective January 10. Our best option is to fly Winair from Barbados to SXM, then connect the following morning on Winair to Tortola. Can anyone recommend a hotel for that one night?

Global Entry vs. Mobile Passport
jazzgal
Yesterday at 12:01 PM
Curious as to your preferences between the two. I have read the comparison chart of the two programs at this LINK. MPC being free is appealing as are shorter lines than Global Entry. I'm wondering how much of a hassle those of you who use MPC experience in having to take your picture before getting off the plane. Is it as simple as it sounds or does it conflict with other required activities in getting ready to disembark.
Opinions welcomed please.
(Link feature didn't work as expected.)
