what kind of planes do winair fly? just curious.

If you guys don't mind flying in on a Saturday, Delta offers service to SKB with a stop in Atlanta. That is unless you live in Atlanta, GA...

I will be in that fly next saturday.Anyone else

I think most people are already here since our first orientation event is this evening...

Hey i think United Air line is better for going st.kitts. i got connection flight with american air lines..... hope everything work fine.

Most of my travel into the Caribbean has been via PR so let me give you a few hints there.

International bags with less than an eight hour stopover can be checked straight through. DO CHECK YOUR BAGS STRAIGHT THROUGH.

Claiming bags in PR is easy enough and there are tons of porters with dollys if you want/need assistance.

Rechecking your bags can be a hassle. Do that ASAP. The main terminal in PR can fill up and back up quickly.

If you have to overnight in PR either way, I strongly recommend the Best Western IN the airport. The extra you'll pay will be less than your cab fares and the ability to check bags very early before the rush then gran a shower etc. before your flight is awesome. The Best Western also added a pretty good sushi bar last year, last time I was there it was great.

Some other insolicited airline advice:

With the long flights you'll be doing, you can rack up lots of frequent flyer miles and get elite status so try and concentrate your flights with one airline and get and use a crdit card that compliments your program of choice. You get a ton of FF miles signing up for that credit card too !

The best "combos" I have found are Delta airlines/Delta Skymiles Amex Platinum, though Delta doesn't cover as much of the caribbean as American

(If you have a friend/family member who is a Delta veteran AND a delta codeshare all the way to your destination, PM me, life could be very good.)

or

American Airlines/AAdvantage Citi World Platinum huge miles promotion for signing up now, $750 in purchases (which could include your first plane ticket purchase) and a round trip to the Caribbean and you should have a free ticket.

ALWAYS sign up for your airlines frequent flyer programs. They are free and can help sometimes with problems. Making elite program levels and getting free upgrades is ALWAYS fun !

quick question, I bought my entire ticket through American Airlines, but I never signed up for the AA advantage card so that I can rack up the miles, so I just signed up and added my ticket on the account. Now will I still get the miles once I actually fly and will they add to my account balance of miles?
I got a good ticket flying from Dallas to Miami then DIRECT to St. Kitts so I dont have the hassle of loosing bags and all that ordeal.

I don't want Delta airlines because it stands for Don't Expect your Luggage To Arrive

If you signed up for an American Advantage frequent flyer number you may be able to update you reservation/ticket online with your frequent flyer number.

If that won't work call and ask American to update it for you, but check your e ticket to be sure it is on there beforeyou fly.

If all that doesn't work,ask that the counter staff update the computer when you check in.

It is MUCH easier to get miles credited automtically by having your frequent flyer number on your ticket than to do it later after you fly.

In any case, mileage credit for miles flown won't happen until you actually fly. Miles earned through credit card usage in the citi program are issued at the same time as your monthly bill.

One other note about Citi, they have a good online payment system, but it does take some time and work to get started, so don't try signing up for e-payments a few days before your bill is due.

Guys.I've looked into many sites and shows that it is about $900 for two way ticket. What sites did you guys used to book your flight and how much? are you guys also coming back after the end of semester? thanks!
Also would like to know the current students, current experiences and any advice they have.Thanks!
