Yesterday's (6/18) airport experience

Thought I would share our Saturday airport departure experience for anyone wondering what a Saturday departure is like. We took the 8:00 ferry for our 12:30 flight. Ferry left on time and Rachel met us at Red Hook. Arrived at airport at 9:03. We had printed our boarding passes on Friday, so we went ...

TSA lines

Our countdown is at 17 days!!! Looking for any feedback from those that traveled in the last couple of weeks: what have the TSA lines been like in STT, specifically on a Saturday morning? We are flying from Charlotte, NC so if anyone has input on that as well, that would be great. Thanks!!!

8:00 ferry for a 12:30 flight?

Hi there!!! We are down to 36 days. Haven't been to STJ since 2013 and I know things have gotten worse with security and customs and that AA says 3 hours ahead of time. We have a 12:30 flight on a Saturday on AA. We are doing carry on only and hope to print boarding passes at Connections on Friday a...

Re: Favorite place to stay where you can walk to town

Lavender Hill has a generator. When we were there in 2013, the power was out in Cruz Bay for 2 days....was never an issue at LH....AC was still cranking out cold air and we had lights, water, etc....that in itself is worth extra $$ to me.

Re: Ferry to take for flight

We have done the 11:15 for a 2:45 flight and had plenty of time to kill and that was on a Saturday.

Rewards points for airfare

Hi everyone! Has anyone used Visa rewards points (bank Visa, not airline Visa) to book your airfare? Were you able to pick your own seats? Were you allowed to do online check-in? The bank's FAQ section is so vague, I can't really make heads or tails of it. I am going to give them a call, but thought...

layover at JFK

Good morning!!!! Due to the USAir/AA merger, it appears that the awesome non-stop flight out of Charlotte no longer exists, so in doing some research, I have found a flight on Delta out of Richmond, Va with an hour and 20 minute layover at JFK. Wondering if this is doable considering we are coming i...

Re: Very budget trip help needed

Check out Battery Hill. Some friends of ours stayed there last year and really enjoyed it. Walking distance to everything in Cruz Bay.

Re: An Hour in Philly....is it doable???

Thanks to both of you....what both of you described is EXACTLY what happened to us (the delay in deplaning and the bus from A to F). I don't think I'm going to chance it.....Thanks for confirming what I already thought. I'll keep looking for something better to come along.

An Hour in Philly....is it doable???

By chance, I thought "I think I'll check airfare." Found what I consider to be a decent fare out of RIC with a stop in PHL 5/31-6/7....Here's the catch: only a 57 minute layover; both ways on a Saturday. Is that cutting it too close? We've flown through PHL before and never had a problem g...

Re: should i rent a jeep for everyday in st. john

I agree with Snorkeler525. We stay right up the street from Grande Bay at Lavender Hill and we do the exact same thing. Returning on the evening before departure morning makes things so much easier even if you are paying as if you are returning on departure day.
