Check your schedules again, folks. They are messing with the STT schedules again. They just moved my 9:30 departure time to 9:00AM on the return. We'll have to be on the 6AM ferry now for sure.
They keep making it harder and harder to travel to STT. I sure wish we had other options from the Midwest. As it is we have a grueling 18-20 hour travel day on both ends. Thanks I just needed to vent.

It's a Tuesday so I'm not too worried about making it to the airport with enough time.

Thanks for the heads up Diana! I just checked our flights in October and sure enough they moved our 10:30 a.m. flight back to 9 a.m.! Yuck! That makes a 3 hr. layover in San Juan

I think they eliminated the 10:30 flight because we were scheduled on that one until Monday when they switched us to the 7AM flight. I called and after 2 hours waiting for them to fix it finally got put on the 9:25 flight which today turned into the 9AM flight! I sure wish they'd leave things alone.

We are leaving on a Tuesday and have friends leaving on a Wednesday in June, can we make the 9:00am flights? This is starting to worry me...

But on the upside, they have added flights back on that they removed last year!http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/i ... d=17634819

No problem making a 9am flight - I make the "old" 8:30am all the time

If you print your boarding pass the day before, do carry on, and have a stash of extra customs forms in your bag (
), you can get out of the cab and into the bar in about 15 min.

I look at the schedules to and from STT all the time I haven't seen any flights added back. I only see 5 flights a day to and from STJ each day so I'm curious what flights have been added.

Thanks for the heads up! I just checked mine and they changed all our return flights and gave us two middle seats 11 rows apart on our 5 hour leg. Their response was try at the airport to get seats together. I hate American but can't seem to get there another way from where we live.

The airlines always block a certain number of seats for airport assignment. It pays to get there early and ask for new seats. BTW, they tend to be in first 5 or 6 rows of the coach section.
Delta change our June flights, but they only moved 15 minutes +/- and one only changed flight numbers.

Grrr. For some unbeknownst reason, I am not getting my AA emails.
Of course my flights have been changed twice since I booked them!
Didn't know we were going to DFW! Thought we were connecting in Chicago. Oh well, I'll keep checking. I like DFW ok.
On the bright side, I get to STT 20 minutes earlier!
