So, I wonder if the departure hall will actually have it's soft opening today? It is weird to me, there has been nothing in the Daily Herald about it. And nothing about any visit of the royals or a high Dutch official. It's normally a BIG deal if the royals come to the island.

I wouldn't bet the farm on it happening.

Great! Would love to hear what's going on, over there. Best wishes, as I'm sure there will be some glitches, if it happens.

OK, thanks for the report. When you say the elevators aren't working, what about the escalators? How do people who can't climb stairs get to the second floor? Have you seen them using the jetways?

Wow, that makes no sense. There was an elevator down to the B gates before, right? What plane was using the jetway?
Edit--Yes, I know there was an elevator down to the B gates before, as I remember I have used it in the past. Why in the world would it not be operating?

PnP--Yes, we knew that, that the jetways will be only for departures, for quite some time yet.

We departed today from upstairs, gate A4, Jet Blue via the jetway there. They’re a long way from ready but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. No fanfare or hoopla and definitely not enough seating.
Respectfully,

Pat--Glad you got a jetway. Much easier for those of us with mobility issues.

We were at the airport when the earlier JB to JFK departed and they, too, enjoyed the ease of a jetway. Lots of spaces for shopping when it’s finished but not much yet. We did get a bit of a chuckle over the concern for landscaping outside when there is so very much to do brfore the terminal itself is truly operational.

There was a lot of shopping there, pre Irma. Perhaps it will be close to what it was, 7 years ago, when they finish, sometime next year.
