LIAT certainly seems like an option. quite cheep compared to WinAir.... reviews don't look too good though!

I have heard some horror stories on this forum of people getting bumped to later flights and lost luggage. I wonder if that would happen if there were 6- 12 of us flying (2 families of 6).

seems like a gamble but for 1000 US for 6 to travel round trip from St. Maaten to EIS maybe worth the gamble?
