TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Southwest looking at service to SXM

I agree...PVD is also MUCH closer for us but the prices aren't even close on the same flight, same airline from BOS. SWA is only "discount" if you get the flight either as soon as they are published or nail one of their specials.

Other than that it is more secure to have an assigned seat on an alternate airline.
