I'm trying to recall, if we stop for a few days in St. Martin, before we fly Winair from SXM to SBH, will we have a departure fee on top of our air fare? Thanks
Right- I got a refund once too and then USAIR started listing the fee as a non-refundable fee.You pay whether you owe or not, and it’s already included in your ticket price. There is no coordination between the ticket for your SBH-SXM flight and your SXM-Home flight. The US airlines assume that everyone owes the departure fee, and include it in the ticket price. Years ago, when I still transited through SXM, I would sometimes argue with the AA checkin counter that I was in-transit, and didn’t owe the fee. Once I actually got a cash refund.
