Would 2 hours prior to a flight on a Thursday be adequate currently with very few people on island for a 1:30 departure? Any input appreciated.

Hoping the rest of your trip went well and i’m Sure it probably did.

We left last Friday with a 3:20 departure, arriving at the airport at about 12:45. We were done in 45 minutes and that included checking bags but I did use wheelchair service. Make sure you have all your paperwork printed and if you need anything down-loaded and printed, whoever is in the office at BSV will be able to help with that.

It was great meeting you and we wish you safe travels home.


Respectfully,

pat

We left on a Friday less than 2 weeks ago and it took no more than one hour to get through American check in, immigration and security. You should be fine. It took longer at the American line/counter than anywhere else so that is the biggest question mark.....how many folks are ahead of you in line.

We started to leave last Tuesday. We were at the airport at 12:00 for a 2:30 departure.
We zipped right through to waiting for boarding--no problem!! No lines no problem.....just minutes from beginning to end.

Of course that was until we boarded...but that is the beginning of another story!!! LOL

Doesn't it seem that is always the case??? You could get pouring rain for 4 days, but when it's time to go back home, the weather is beautiful!! mad

Sorry for the late follow up. Airport arrival was at 11:20 AM and moved so quickly through whole process to waiting for flight within 40 minutes. Everything was hassle free and well run. Prefect closure to another great vacation in SXM.

We do appreciate all input of TTOL as our vacations may have been much different than that of what we both experienced over the past 15 years. Thank you to all.

It was nice to meet you both at the pool.
When are your next dates? I remember you said something about August.
SXM people are always talking about the next trip! LOL
