SBH Insider
14th year visitor... mainly in June or July. I’m a frequent flier and haven’t checked a bag to anywhere in 20 years. Flying in on American Airlines from CLT today connecting at SXM on Winair to SBH. Normally would just walk to counter, show my ticket and go through transfer screening to get on plane. Today at counter, she weighed my “carryon” which is legal size and because it weighed 26 lbs. she said I would have to exit, go through customs and re enter. Which I did and missed my Winair flight. (Lines were HUGE and I didn’t have a chance even with 90 mins allowed). (But my bag made it)! I’ve done this same routine the past 14 years with my carry on and handbag and proceeded to Winair gate and plane. I’ve never had it weighed. Before I left home, I did look at allowances and thought the weight limit was 50 lbs. is 25 lbs the limit?? I was 1 lb over if so.
Was so proud that I had fit 3 weeks worth of resort wear in my carryon.... and a snorkel mask, tennis shoes, 3 1,000 piece puzzles, etc...... darn.
good news... I made it two flights later and now that I’m in “heaven” doesn’t seem as big of a deal... but I will always and forever dread the trip through SXM.
Now onward to a most fabulous vacation!!!
