SBH Insider
****UPDATED NOVEMBER 10****
It appears now that for peak winter 17/18 there will be zero flights from Canada to SXM and the NYC market has only 2 weekly flights remaining (Jetblue) this is a major decrease in capacity from last winter. Major news is that United has cancelled all their flights (EWR, IAD and ORD) until April. Combined with the fact that American Airlines is now operating into SXM later in the day, it seems that SJU will be the preferred gateway to SBH this winter (for those folks still going to SBH this winter).
****LATEST UPDATE IN ACCOUNT OF SXM TEMPORARY TERMINAL IS OPEN, SCHEDULES STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT THIS POINT TO BE SURE DUE TO TERMINAL CAPACITY****

Thank you Thomas for your constant updates.
Certainly not not an economical route to connect through San Juan on Tradewind or SBC. Just spent $11k getting my family of 9+Infant on Tradewind round trip San Juan to St. Barts in January, not even Christmas/New Year Holiday time.

indeed! Westjet also (for now anyways) is resuming Saturday flights from Toronto to San Juan in January so at least on weekends same day connections are possible, at the resultant Tradewind premium cost of course...
Caribbean Flights
Banned
So to summarize the above: To SXM this winter (and associated cheapest connection to SBH, therefore avoiding the premium Tradewind via San Juan or Antigua):
JetBlue is your best bet from/via JFK (after the New Year)
Delta is your best bet from/via ATL
American is your best bet from/via MIA (beware though, 4:45 pm arrival is tight for a same-day connection to SBH).

Thanks for this info Thomas J...a 2nd time victim with AA changes of 11/19/17 for April with flts via MIA but NO protection for our SAV to CLT round trip...therefore leaving us without & also round trip forcing overnites at our expense so yet more changes for villa, Winair & car rental. I hate having to check daily, but think has come to that ! So our April became May well after the 4th.

It appears Delta is cutting flights again on the ATL-SXM route this spring. We were booked on a Thursday and now that flight no longer exists. Appears to only be flying on Sa,Su, and Tu. We are changing to overnight in SJU and take Tradewind the next morning thanks to their lower cost flights in the am.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the daily flights from CLT to SXM will resume on May 4th. Members of our party are flying down on May 31st and on June 2nd and we have all had our Charlotte flights changed to Miami. The scheduled arrival time in SXM is 3:13pm so we're rescheduling SBC for the 4:15 flight and crossing our fingers!
