How much does a charter cost (sbh-sxm)? There are only 2 of us, but on our return, we need to catch a 9:20am flight from SXM to MIA, and it looks like the earliest WINAIR flight is 8:45am. Any suggestions?

Are you sure about the 8:45 time? For the last few years there's been a 7:00 or 7:15 flight on Winair to SXM.

I'm sure BillK is correct. I remember a couple last year talking about an 7:00-7:30 flight from SB to SXM. I also knokw that from 7:00 a.m. onwards I saw quite a few Winair planes taking off from SB and banking off towards SXM.

Thanks for the suggestion -- but how can I contact WinAir? The info I had was from the only flight schedule I could find online -- www.flywinair.com and it must be outdated. Is there another website which lists their current flights? I can't even find a phone number, only a fax# and email address.(I hope this low-tech thinking doesn't also apply to their aircraft!)

WOW -- I just got a price from the newconcepts website for a 10 minute WinAir flight -- around $200 per person! Is that the typical fare? I'm almost tempted to book a charter that can work with our time schedule. Any recommendations for charters?

there are three or four charter services between sbh and sxm-have used st barth commuter but if only two of you are going it may not be a viable alternative to the two other main scheduled airlines

and then there is a boat...but most regular visitors do not suggest this option
