Hooray a Canadian Airline just departed Toronto bound for Punta Cana then on to SXM. Finally. It's a start.

I had that flight booked until about three weeks ago when I changed my date and duration. I wondered why it was changed from 4 1/2 hours to 6 1/2.

Sunwing just landed .

Landed at 17:08. Watched it on the webcam.

Yay Sunwing!!!!
This is so great to see. Just booked for November. We're double vaccinated and going to do this!!!!

We too are booked to arrive early November for 5 weeks. My understanding for us Canadians to fly into Sint Maarten is to get a AG test from our local Shoppers Drug mart, complete the EHS entrance application and pay the $15 dollars for mandatory covid insurance. Is this correct? Am I missing anything? We have travelled to the island for 16 years now but first time during COVID. So friggin excited to come back.

travelgal--A link to the SXM official entry requirements is pinned to the top of the forum. Make sure you read through the links posted there.

Our flight is November 11 from Toronto. Our plan is the same as yours. Others have suggested to have the test results and EHS approval documents as a hard copy as well as digital. We will have both. AG test results must be less than 48 hours old at the time of departure for your flight to SXM.

IMHO, hard copies should be a must have. Phones can get lost or run out of bars. I wouldn’t want to take the chance of being stranded at an airport because of either possibility. But that’s just me…..

Agreed, Pat.

Thanks everyone. I will read the entry links as suggested. Just hard to find what Canadians have to do vs USA citizens. Looking forward to our upcoming trip!

Canadians have to follow exactly the same procedures as US citizens for travel to SXM as it concerns testing and EHAS.

Just remember that we need PCR tests to return, as opposed to USA just requires antigen.
