Looking for some news from 'home'. It's been pretty quiet lately.

Arrived yesterday, Super Bowl Sunday. Philadelphia thru Miami, AA1136 arrival half hour, thank the flight gods. About 6 minutes ahead of KLM. West Jet was some in the mix, before slight after us. Parked us out to the boondocks. Second stupid bus load to arrive at passport control, thru in less than 5 minutes. Baggage a whole Subject. We grabbed a porter and than waited. It appeared American was Thursday passport first but they put WestJet out first, confused everyone expect person making the decision. Half hour later American comes thru, not entire baggage area is packed mainly because with a pay grade higher than mine decided to screen all of WestJets. So you have three groups in baggage area noone moving. Our porter finally did his thing but only after a bit. Luggage was over an hour. Once we got to xray area we were good because we were on American. William from a sponsor of this site was there from Trip A, as always. Whole process 1.5 hours. No sand any where close to Dany's. Full sun, gentle breeze, first days of 23. Glad to be here but airport is bad, very bad. Best to all.

Warden--At least you have a long time to be on island. Pity those who have to do this crap for a week long stay!!!!

For what itβs worth, and that may not be much, we departed SXM on November fifteenth or whatever day the new jet bridges first went into use, and the day I would have anticipated the worse possible experience in departing. We went from curbside to our departure gate in less than a half hour. And that included checking luggage. It was flawless but it sounds as if our experience may just have been the luck of the draw. ππ
Respectfully,
