TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Booked my return from SXM today

Was able to book our return on Miles with AA for a Saturday departure at 12:15 pm to CLT-SEA getting home around 8:40 pm same day if all goes well. We usually come home on a Friday with miles but miles were the same for FC on Saturday and that earlier CLT flight wasn't listed for a Friday which would have us arriving around 11:00 pm.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks. This is for our May 2026 trip. Guess I should have included that in title or post.

Obviously the fares in May are far different from those in November. I've never been able to use miles from Eastern NC to SXM. Miles are over 100K each for FC.

Ours were 95k pp one way.

Gotcha. I'll have to build more up!

And our total cost for both of us was $183.48.

Booked our May return as well. 8,000 miles per person. Second class.

Which I guess is better than no class.

So how much money do you need to put on cc to accumulate that many miles?

I'm not exactly sure the number of miles to get 8,000 points but most point cards give 3 points for one dollar on select items such as groceries or/and gas and 1for1 for everything else.

We put everything on a card. As long as you pay it in full it works to add up points. Two years ago we used points for rt for 2 people from BOS. Last year got a good fare so didn't use points and next trip (2026)is another great deal for under a grand so didn't use points. Probably will use them for 2027 God willing.
