Hello all. I have asked for a link or official site from SXM government with regards to some posts I have seen on Jeff Berger's everything SXM. We, in Canada have not, and I repeat not been informed of this information. I cannot find it anywhere in the form of an official link. I have been told, from the facebook forum that flights from Canada are not allowed to come to SXM for 2 weeks, but nothing in the form of an official sxm government link. That is all I am asking. I know people who said they are flying out next week, as there are no bans in place. Makes me wonder what is going on. If anyone knows, or has something official, I would love to read it. This entire covid stuff has thrown everyone into a tail spin. Unfortunately.

Has an actual government official link been posted here? If so where. It was supposedly just imposed in the last day or two, so having trouble finding it

again, that is a Canadian Government link and does not tell me what SXM is banning. WE, as canadians are told to avoid all non essential travel, as well it is highly suggested we get home if we are abroad. Bill and Elaine, posted a travel advisory telling how flights had been banned from SXM effective March 17,, BUT canada was not on that list. This is where I am having difficulty. And travel agents here or some are not aware. What am I missing???

The flights are not banned, the Canadian passengers are banned from entering sxm. The planes are still coming from Canada to pick up people who have return flights back to Canada. I’m one of them, hopefully will be flying back tomorrow.

IF you can go through the US, which I don't know for sure, that really seems like your best choice right now. Check the sticky post at the top of the forum about flights.
