My husband and I are flying from Phila to St. Barts on American in April 2017 and we screwed up the Winair flight time from St. Martin to St. Barts. Years ago, Winair would put passengers on the next available flights, but now they are telling us if we don't pay $80 to change our reservation we may not get on a flight to St. Barts that day. Besides not wanting to pay the change fee, American could change their arrival time or the flight arrival could be delayed even if we pay it, so we're debating taking our chances. Can anyone give me some insight into how strict Winair handles their flights in situations like this?
