The best thing that ever happened when my sister lived on ST. Maarten was that TNT started direct flights from Boston to St. Maarten. Never get on a plane whith a final destination of Santo Domingo or Port au Prince.
Don’t get on Jet Blue period...you either get a whacked out flight attendant or passenger...take your pick. Cattle cars attract barnyard animals. Fly Delta like me and you only get a guy who can’t even light his underwear :)
