That was my thinking, trying to avoid additional connections and/or overnights. Possibly on the way down, they could drive to DFW and spend overnight at a hotel where they could leave their car for free.

We live in Austin, have been to St. Martin 14 times, just returned home less than a week ago - given this we have tried several airlines over the years & the best we have found was Jet Blue - flight leaves Austin at 6:00 a.m. with a connection at JFK & then a non-stop from JFK to St. Martin. We have done AA, U.S. Air (when it existed) & Delta. We have been the most pleased with Jet Blue & the New York connection. Our flights to St. Martin were on Saturday, May 28, return flights were on Tuesday, June 7. No need for them to drive to San Antonio, Dallas or Houston. Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Yep - Flight #794 - leaves Austin at 5:45 a.m., arrives JFK at 10:26 a.m. on certain days of the week & same flight number leaves Austin at 6:00 a.m. & arrives at JFK at 10:41 a.m. on the other days - the 6:00 a.m. flight is the one we took on May 28 on our way to St. Martin - had about a 2-1/2 hour layover - enough time to grab a coffee & a bite to eat.

Actually, we came back through Miami on June 7--wow, one week ago today! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />--and TSA on the way down was very quick, and C & I on the way home was also very quick! No big X on our customs form, no lines at baggage claim, good deal! We were IN our car in the parking lot within one hour of when our plane landed.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
