Part 1: http://www.yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=9280 Part 2: http://www.yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=9283 Part 3: http://www.yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=9291 Here is Part 4 of my report. This will include my flights from SXM- SBH and return, as well as what I did whilst in St Barths. ST MAARTEN PRINCESS JULIANNA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT On our 3rd day in St Maarten we flew to St Barths for the day. We got to the airport at 8:30am for the 10am departure. Check-in was easy, we were given an arrival card for St Barths because it is an international flight! We then proceeded through security, grabbed something to eat and sat down at our gate. At 9:40am, Winair announced that boarding would soon commence. The departure time came and went and at 10:30am, employees from Winair walked around finding passengers travelling to St Barths. We were told that due to fires on St Barths the airport was closed and they would try to recommence flights at 12pm. So we had a look around the terminal. Sunwing Boeing 737-800 C-FTOH from Toronto Sunwing Boeing 737-800 C-FLSW from Montreal Finally staff announced that St Barths Airport had re-opened. Winair commenced boarding for the 11:20am service to St Barths, so we were just put on that flight. June 6, 2013 Winair WM619 (not sure what the flight number for the 11:20am service was) SXM-SBH PJ-WIJ DHC6 Seat 2A We caught a bus out to the aircraft. Today, PJ-WIJ would take us to St Barths. The Dash 6-300 Twin Otter is a 19 seater, it is quite small inside! I was really looking forward to the flight to St Barths. The flight was scheduled to take 15 minutes. Onboard, there were probably 10 people on-board Cockpit We taxied out to RWY10, Sunwing B738 C-FTOH took off before us Maho Beach Josh took a video of the takeoff and landing. Here it is… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM8MlFQvK4g Takeoff roll And we’re up! Got some beautiful views of St Maarten En-route St Barths Diving into RWY10 Over the road
