Hi folks. Would like to get feedback on how little time I could get away with on a connection. We are planning our first trip back since the pandemic started. Villa has been booked along with flights from JFK to SXM. The return connection is all set, but I'm pondering on what to do on the flight down.
We are arriving on a Delta flight that gets in at 12:25 on May 28. I like to fly over on SBC, but they have no available seats that day as SBC are apparently running only one flight that day. I already asked if there might be flights added but was told that due to holidays scheduled for pilots, that one flight is it.
Leaves me with Winair. There is a flight leaving at 1:30 for SBH. Next one that we could take is 3:50. I'm very eager to get back and thinking about taking the 1:30 even though that gives us barely over an hour for the connection. But that would give me time to get to the villa, change, grab a beer and hit the beach.
Even though we are coming for two weeks, I think we can pack so that we have only carry on bags. We are flying first and I have already booked the seats closest to the to exit so I expect we will be among the first off the plane.
So should I take the 1:30 or go for the later flight? If I book the earlier flight and miss the connection, would it be an option to then take a later Winair flight?
