That sure is bad timing for connecting to SBH and kicking off 2020.
Yes . . . and Tradewind won't book it for you. (I've been through the discussion re: 12:50 SJU arrival to a 1:25 connection.)Wondering. Is a 2:03 SJU arrival too tight to make a Tradewinds 2:25 connection?

That’s similar to the flight we originally booked through CLT...they canceled it, switched us through PHL...canceled that, and now just the one flight through MIA on the days we are traveling in November. Hopefully your flights won’t be altered since that’s high season with more people on board, but keep an eye on them.FYI...we booked on AA via Charlotte for a March 2020 trip....leaves Charlotte at 9:40 am and arrives SXM at 1:20 PM ...
AA arrival times are similar from the east coast this fall. We booked a few months ago for November with a 2 pm’ish arrival time in SXM only to have the flight changed twice, connections and times, to end up with a 4:13 pm arrival. Having been stuck overnight in SXM before, we decided to get a credit for those flights and switch to Delta. Fingers crossed that they don’t change anything.
we have "learned" that traveling weekdays results in a far better SXM experience vs weekend travel. Ref the potential changes....in 2018 we were re-routed thru Miami (terrible experience) and in 2019 we were lucky as we did not have any schedule changes so our flight x Charlotte was on time and arrived early into SXM. We will cross our fingers and toes and hope that the 2020 flight is as smooth as 2019. Also, I think that I may have stated this in one of my few postings....we have "learned" that getting into Charlotte on the previous evening (then catching the early flight the next day) gives us some "wiggle" room ref the potential for delayed flights/tight connections....plus it allows us to arrive in SB's well rested and ready for a good first evening experience vs being tired from a long travel day (typically awaken at 3:30 am to catch a 7am flight)
JetBlue plans to initiate Saturday-only non-stop service between BOS and SXM early next year, including their Mint class of service.
Wow. It's been many, many, many years since there was any non-stop BOS to SXM, no? And I don't think Mint Class is an option on the JFK/SXM route....at least last I checked, for the 2018/19 season.
Back in the day I flew nonstop BOS-SXM on Eastern. JetBlue had plans in the works pre-Irma, but they obviously changed. Look at February and later the next time that JetBlue extends their ticketing window.
Eastern Airlines. The shuttle. The terminal. The uniforms. Had no idea they flew the BOS-SXM route. Wow.
I realize that it's a different time frame...we have a March 2020 trip booked....the scheduled SBC flight to SBH departs at 3:15 pm. FYI...there is a chance that SBC would add a flight for you (they added an earlier (morning) flight for our departure from SBH to SXM...no extra charges)...just ask them to see if they will accommodate your schedule
