We should have enough Delta miles to get all 5 of us to SJU or, depending on how many miles it takes, 4 of us to STT so the main flight will be on Delta. What we have done several times flying from Houston is catch a late night flight from Houston to Atlanta, overnight in Atlanta and catch the first flight out to either SJU or STT. That gives us a lot more protection against flight delays,
As time gets closer I'll check out the charter flight companies price for 5 from SJU to EIS and decide if we want to splurge on a charter or just hop on Sliver. We'll probably do the latter.
5 is a perfect number for Island Birds 5 seater...we are taking them down on Saturday and had 8 (for their 9 seater) but now 2 are coming later so their 9 seater is a little pricier. I flew Silver a couple of months ago and not only were they on time but their new planes were really nice. Remember to build in extra fees for charter that are included in commercial ticket. I am sure George can opine on what they are.
