Probably not much, if anything. Maybe a port-a-john outside but I doubt anything in the TEMPORARY arrival facility. Perhaps someone who experienced this recently can chime in.

There are restrooms outside the TAF and inside the baggage claim area. Here’s the latest video that walks through the facility. https://youtu.be/a2Thhbn0uqs?feature=shared

Just to add, we came in last Saturday and it took under 30 minutes from deplaning to being out of the airport, we came in from Philadelphia on American Airlines. There was no one else on line and we walked right through.

Uh um, only 4 jet-bridges available, other large jets have always parked on the apron when the 4 primaries were occupied

And AA has ALWAYS had a jetway, unless there is more than one AA plane in. The article seems to indicate no AA planes will get jetways.

There have been as many as 3 AA flights on the ground, simultaneously, during weekdays. Some get jet bridges and some don't its always been that way.

No, the article said that AA planes would not have a jetway, as in, supposedly, NO AA planes will get a jetway. God knows, the Herald is often wrong though.

quote from the article " The airport did not mention that passengers travelling with American Airlines and Delta need to wait for buses to bring them to respective planes."

No, "the article said that AA planes would not have a jetway, as in, supposedly, NO AA planes will get a jetway. " God knows, the Herald is often wrong though. And yet your post before your last one stated the above. Your reference and the quote don't share the same meaning.

Hi Carol , today wasn't that bad , but if Airfrance and KLM arrives before the smaller flight , then it becomes a problem , sa la vie till it gets better . And I personally hate when people are looking for free food and cheap rates and would love to trash our Island . Go elsewhere then.

Lesley--OK, well, I hope tomorrow is OK, although I am concerned it is going to be a total cluster-f*ck, considering it is a Saturday.

Touch and go my Dear Carol. Prayers. And we were by Chef Davide Restaurant Sale and Pepe afterwards, good food as per norm lol 😂 No one was looking for free food at Sale and Pepe! We went for good food, which we got, except for it being cold and courteous service, which we didn't get. It wasn't our first time.....enough said We also are willing to pay reasonable rates, but will not pay $$$ above the going rate. I think it is bad when tourists get taken advantage of. Not planning on going elsewhere, We have been going to SXM since the 80's and have made many friends. Sorry your nose got out of joint, because of your friend Davide, but MANY more people agreed than disagreed, and I guess I'm a little tired of the criticism and responding back to you ...

Terri--sorry you had a bad experience there. I wasn't sure why Lesley responded regarding Sale and Peppe on this thread anyway. If you want to start a new thread about that experience, that would be fine.

This problem is no different than a car that gets caught in a flood. Once a car goes underwater it is junk!! That is what this airport is JUNK!!! What do you do with junk, you get rid of it and buy new or start from scratch!! This building was underwater with the amount of water damage. It was junk! It's SIX full years that this building is still JUNK. Junk can not be fixed, as you think you have one issue resolved another issues pops up and so on and so on and the money pit continues!! We came in oct20th around 1:00 ish and waited after one other carrier was in one hour in swelter bodies with a couple of AC's working and now they "say" second quarter??? Management must think we are stupid to believe anything they have to say at this point or any other point. One of my clients landed yesterday for the first time ever on my recommendation. Bet I lost that client!! I can only pray that there stay at La Samanna wiped away horrible experience dealing with the arrival cluster "****"!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!
