A few of our guests coming down found that their 3:30 STT departure, got turned into a 1:30 departure.

We have no plans/itinerary, other than getting up at 0530 bites, to stay at a somewhat decent anchorage/mooring. JVD/Cane...don't really want to stay in Sopers/Roadtown/Village Cay ...but it might be the best lazy person option.

Even trying to make the 7am from our dock at Nanny Cay is a PITA.

I know it would be stressful for them to make a 130 flight with a 10/10:30 ferry. Although we have done it in the best of times. but they have luggage.

Has anyone tried the JVD/Great Harbor, St john, Redhook tour of the faeries?
any other creative options? I know the "easy button" is to stay in STT.

This is such a pain in the you know what that we spend the last night in St. Thomas, even though we do not want to. Sigh! What to do, what to do...it seem's the flight's are more important than the people on them.

So, I'm thinkin'

Stay at CGB, arrange a 6am taxi through a reputable taxi, to RT/Sopers. wish them luck.

but plan B/C is always welcome.

I hate getting up early, it is so much not me.

A dingy ride to the "hopefully repaired dock" shouldn't bite too badly. followed by a WWAAYY too early breakfast.

See if the airline in question has a later flight. Put them on the 10:30 out of Sopers. They should make the flight if it's not a Saturday. If not they should be accommodated under the flat tire policy on a later flight.

I think (at least according to FlyerTalk <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />) if your flight is changed by the airline, you are allowed a free change. Change day, time or airport.

Water taxi. Cost a little more, but your people will get where they need to go

Yep, i'm aware of the change thing. the problem is ALL the flights to their destination have changed to 130. (Linda is an Air Desk manager)

We are just giving them the following options.

1.get up early, power through it
2.don't check bags, i'm SURE they overpacked...newbies, 4 days should fit in a grocery bag.
3.leave a day early, have some "family time"
