I charter Winair planes from St Martin to St Barts. last one was 8 passengers at $1785.
I imagine with 6 people you could have chartered a SBC flight for around what a Winair flight would cost for 6 people. There would be no bag issue that way and I suspect they have someone help with the transfer when you charter. Some one else chime in and let me know if this sounds right. I have only chartered with SBC from St. Thomas after getting off a cruise so we simply wen't to the FBO and got on the plane. That price was 1,500 Euro one way and the flight was around 50 minutes. It would be interesting to see the charter price on a 10 minute flight. Maybe Michael could chime in. kr
For the last few years we have had parties of 5-7 people and have chartered with SBC and used a concierge service in SXM. This is the most hassle free way of doing the transfer - somebody meets you at the Transfer desk, gives you your boarding passes and you go through the small security gate. The concierge then gets your checked bags and meets you at the SBC gate and you generally leave as soon as possible once they have all of your bags. It costs a bit more but makes the transfer easy and you get to SBH quicker. I think the SBC planes can take up to 7 passengers.I imagine with 6 people you could have chartered a SBC flight for around what a Winair flight would cost for 6 people.
