More details on arrival
We did not have jet bridge we walked to Egates.
I had filled out information for arrival well in advance
I did notice a very long queue not 100% sure but I think they were seeing a customs officer.
I say walked to egates because there signs pointing that option out my wife and I both had an open kiosk available and within 5 minutes of exiting plane (we had row 1) and no checked luggage so we would have been faster but we both used the facilities. The new arrivals hall was very nice. Walked outside and saw Claudette from discount car rentals ask her which way was best she said lowlands route and my app agreed. There did not appear to be more than 4 planes including ours. Also there 2 jet bridges open. The drive to karibuni was not bad We got thru Marigot very easy then at the roundabout traffic was slow but steadily moving. All in all we were pleasantly surprised.
Now I know many of you come in the off season and drive thru Simpson bay and that did appear to be a cluster ***
