Which ferry would you take?

Post by mcdomzal »

Due to the airline changing our flights, we are now not leaving STT until 2:50PM for our June trip. We've always left early b4.

Which ferry would you catch to be sure you get through security, etc.?

BTW, we decided to fly to D.C. the night b4 our flight to STT because we were just too afraid that we would miss our connection with only 45 min. layover. Now we just have to hope they don't cancel that D.C. flight! :lol:

Greetings. The noon ferry should be just fine, especially if you are a light packer. Save yourself a little time by preprinting your boarding passes and pick up a customs form at the customs office in STJ and fill it out ahead of time. Safe and enjoyable travels!

I like to leave 3 hours before the flight, at a minimum.

Cheers, RickG

I forgot to say that we will not be checking any bags. Does that change anyone's answer? I just hate sitting in that airport any longer than necessary.

Sadly, we haven't been to STJ in 3 years. What can I expect as far as security, etc. on a Saturday in June?

On a Saturday in June you are fine on the noon ferry putting you at the airport by 1pm to 1:10pm - sorry you won't be able to take the 1pm as that would put you at the airport between 2pm and 2:10pm - not enough time :(
