But now the airport is closed for the day today ! Good lord . Get your act together EIS .

Yeah, and Chris and Ashley are coming in tomorrow...sigh

I hope AA increases MIA-EIS flights. RT for this route in June is now up to $2800!! In July it drops to $1424. I'm sticking to ferries or fly thru SJU to Beef.

I sure hope they were able to make it ! Hoping to see you all

Unlike some of the jankie little planes that fly into our "international" airports in the BVI, the Embraer 175 is a real airplane, i.e., outfitted with jet engines. Seventy six seats if configured with a first class cabin (as is AA's - 12 seats) and because it's a jet, the flight time from Miami is only two hours. AA should make a healthy profit on this run if it can routinely get a decent passenger complement that will increase as the service becomes more utilized - and if that happens, ticket prices will decrease.
