Canadians stuck on Sxm

Canadians stuck on Sxm - 03/20/2020 05:10 PM

I was wondering how many Canadians are stuck on both sides of Saint Martin. We are on the French side and are under a 15 day curfew. Our original flight on April 2 has been cancelled by WestJet We were unable to obtain seats on the flights that will terminate on March 22. I have been able to book seats on April 23 when service commences.

It would be nice to know how many others are in our situation.

Tbay,

Did you read the post further down this page about Sunwing? Perhaps they could be of help?

I think that Sun Wing's last flights were yesterday, but I might have missed one.

We are also on the French side. We were supposed to go home on Westjet on March 31. We have not heard anything from them. We are now flying home with Air Canada tomorrow. We booked Wednesday morning. Not sure if there are any seats left. They are also flying in on the 28th. We are disgusted with the lack of communication by Westjet. Yesterday we received a notice of a one minute change to a flight we have in June but nothing about our flight on the 31st. Good luck. Hope you find a flight soon.

Was on the West Jet flight on April 7 , received cancellation notice . Contacted WestJet, no flights available as everything was sold out. Managed to book Air Canada for tomorrow.

I don't know that it will help, but you might want to contact this email.

See this

Daily Herald story

It's not clear whether this is just addressed at folks on the Dutch side, but it couldn't hurt to try.

The original poster hasn't been on for a couple of days. Were you able to get out? Are there folks on here who have not been able to get a flight out yet?
