What did it cost you?
Just curious. I'm pretty sure I'd do the same, but I'm just wondering what the scale was? $10, $100, $1000? (yes, I know Euro, not $!!!)

Bart, I rarely do SXM anymore, but there are numbers stored in my mobile for situations such as this. Included in those numbers are concierge services such as Premium IV, which can take care of everything for me, from VIP meet me at the aircraft door to a last minute charter, to a ride to a ferry and a last minute reservation. I've also got Terrance Rey's number for a last minute Air SXM charter, 'cause it's always good to have more than one option. For hotels, if it gets to that then I may need to do some damage control, and the stored number is for La Samanna.
Cost? Figure a few hundred $ for VIP handling, €1000 for a charter, and the same for La Samanna. At that point, what does it matter? I really really hate having dinner on SXM while someone else is having dinner at the table that I reserved on SBH.

We booked with Air St Martin for the airport expediting service a few years ago when we had a checked bag and a tight connection in San Juan. We just paid for one person (hubby) who went with the service to get our bag (it made it) and recheck. Then he was escorted through security...much to the chagrin of others in the line. Meanwhile, I used the In-Transit gate and we met upstairs. He was just a few minutes behind me. This worked for us b/c we were really just paying to ensure someone would get our bag to SBH if it didn't make our flight. In hindsight, I think you can hire them to get bags at the airport if, when you get there, your's is missing. Do it depends on your needs.

It cost 175€ for the two of us. Everyone we dealt with at Easy Way was so nice.
Kevin, I should do the same. I had those numbers written down in my folder a few years ago but never had to use them. I started a new one this trip and never added them. Yes I'm old school with the folder! Lol
We went into town for dinner at the Creperie and who spotted us....? Mike Wendi and Lena! They were coming from the quay and we had just cruised through Select to see who was there. Dinner was great followed by a chocolate and banana crepe made at the quay during the Transat festivities.
Boy did I sleep like a baby last night!
Thanks again to everyone who was sending us good luck, it worked

Thanks for the info Carol. A small price to pay to reclaim a precious day and night of your vacation.
I'm ready for Kevin to teach a class on how to properly travel in order to be prepared and overcome any and all obstacles in getting from Point A to Point (St) B!

That's funny. The first lesson is to never book Delta.

For SXM travel? D'accord.

You will make it from SXM to SBH as there will be plenty of flights with open seats. This is low season, but we will keep our fingers crossed for you.
