Sint Maarten to San Juan via American Eagle, San Juan to JFK via Jet Blue.

I used to fly from SXM to JFK -or- SXM to Newark. I always hated flying through San Juan, PR (heard lots of stories where bags were lost... plus you have to wait there in that crowded airport for hours).

My suggestion would be to constantly look at AA, Continental, and US Airways website (could also use expedia, etc) in these upcoming couple of weeks. Once, I actually found prices for about $300-$400, but stupid me I didn't act fast enough.

To be honest with you, the prices fluctuate (of course most expensive at around the time of departure) so you just have to keep looking.

I am coming to SABA in May and was wondering about the best places to find deals for air line tickets for students coming from TORONTO? Any advice?

Thanks

Get a ride to Buffalo, fly JetBlue to JFK or Palm Beach, then to San Juan, then American Eagle to SXM

I dont know about the JetBlue thing. They have been having some really bad scheduling problems the last week or so. The airport in Portland Maine had I think it was 39 flights from JetBlue cancelled. Several people had to wait 3 days for flights.

Maybe they have it worked out, but I don't know ...

in my opinion when flying to any island with checked bagage, don't change carriers.
