Hi all,


This November will mark my first time visiting St. Barts. To say I am excited is an understatement!

My flight lands in SXM at 2:10pm. The next St. Barth Commuter flight leaves at 2:45pm. We only have carry on bags, but is this cutting it way too close?


The next St. Barth Commuter flight doesn't leave until 4pm. Would hate to wait around the SXM airport but looks like that may be the safest option.


Thank you!

That is way to close. SBC may not even let you book it. Book the 4:00pm and pray for a strong wind to get you to SXM early.

If there is room aneRlier flight, you may be asked to take it. This happens often.

To be safe, we always book the later flights with SBC, but in our experience, they will often send a plane if enough people are there to fill it. We frequently arrive on SBH around an hour early.
