Hello All , The last couple of times that we have traveled to SXM . We have flown out of EWR even though it is a little more than hour longer drive than Phl. I just checked Phl. flying with American . Even on a Saturday in Nov. they do not have a direct flight. ( EWR does with United ) and the price out of Phl. with American is almost twice the price. So I contacted South West last week . I sent them an e-mail and asked " Hello , I know S.W. was looking into flying to SXM before Irma . I hope you are still considering flying there soon . Especially out oh PHL. Airport Thank you " . I did get a response back fairly quickly . Their response was " Thanks for letting us know where you'd like to see us fly next, Robin. We look forward to our next opportunity to welcome you onboard. -Emilia " I contacted them through Face Book Messenger . So if other people that fly out of Phl. to go to SXM might want to contact them to show that there is an interest in them flying out of there . Don't know if it will help or not . But I don't know what else to try . Thank you .
If your motto is ; If at first you don't succeed...... Maybe it would be best not to try sky diving !

Hello RonDon , I figured that this was their standard reply . I was just hoping to get other people that felt the same way to inquire . Was wondering if they got enough requests they might look into it a little more . I am not sure what the problem is with American and flying to SXM out of Phl. Those flights are terrible . We used to fly out of Phi. all the time , with US Air and then after the take over American . But now EWR is mush better in quality of flights and price . It's worth the extra hour or so travel time to go there .

We fly from PWM to SXM through PHL with the only other real choice being CTL. The only real problem with PHL for us, is changing terminals with a tight connection. Yes it would be great if SW would fly to SXM giving us more choices.
