American Adds Flights To South Caicos, Turks & Caicos

Cool! But how will they fill that plane? Guess that's the demand...

@ Johnson -- It's only a maximum of 152 seats per week. I imagine way more Americans fly from Providenciales to South Caicos every week, and can now fly a lot more directly. The new Salterra Luxury Collection resort alone has 100 rooms, many of which have multiple bedrooms, so that resort alone can probably sustain this flight.

Was lucky enough to honeymoon at Sailrock in 2022. The beauty of the property cannot be overstated — it’s on a narrow isthmus where you can see the Atlantic on your right and the Caribbean on your left. The property is very natural, and there’s even wild donkeys wondering around! Food and service was 5-stars, as was the beach & water (on the Caribbean side at least where the main beach bar/restaurant is). Would love to see a review in the future Ben to see your thoughts! Look forward to returning soon with Hilton pts and 5th night free

Avoid Sailrock at all costs. The rooms and villas are not what they show in the photos. They have very little food offerings and everything was frozen. They service was mixed. The island itself is in shambles. It’s extremely desolate and dangerous. No medical care in the area either. Please avoid!

Just saw some Interesting LAS-NRT/LHR temp adds for CES by AA. I’m surprised that no US carrier has pulled off Vegas long haul flights before.

There seems to be a material discrepancy between your post and PMA's post, as they present entirely opposite perspectives. Your post, in particular, comes across as if it were written by someone affiliated with the property. This inconsistency raises doubts and makes me question the authenticity of your statements.

I've been to T&C countless times and stayed just about everywhere. Both of their posts are wildly extreme. "the beauty of the property cannot be overstated" + just about everything else in that post, and "the island itself is in shambles, it's extremely desolate and dangerous" - holy hyperbole by of them...
My stay was perfectly fine. There is FAR better in T&C (though limited use of points, but if points is your only way of paying, you're better off going to other places in the caribbean). South Caicos is nice, but you really need to love lounging on the beach and not doing much else. There just isn't anything else there (outside of some day trips or snorkeling), which will appeal to some but not others. Having been as much as I have, I'm glad I've been there but I still to Grace Bay.

*stick to the Grace Bay area.

What’s CES? Thanks!

@pstm91. Agreed. Grace Bay is magical. Ben’s reference to the resort area isn’t quite accurate in my opinion…except for the Ritz, it’s all low rise and peaceful compared to most other prime beach destinations. I need to get back (after hurricane season)

We spent 5 nights at Sailrock and wouldn’t really recommend it. Food was fairly meh. No spa facilities. The Atlantic beach was full of trash and Sargussum; the cove beach area had a ton of jelly fish. We had a great private pool but without that the trip would have been horrendous b

The Consumer Electronics Show, a major annual tech convention held in Vegas every January.

In theory, the convention should be able to support traffic from NRT, LHR, and most likely TPE.

This is simply not true on multiple levels with the possible exception of medical care - I have no idea if there is medical care or not but that isn’t how most people plan their trips anyway.

The food at sailrock was lovely. Maybe not particularly inventive but it was plentiful and nicely prepared.

To call SC “dangerous” is just silly or you are incredibly sheltered and poorly traveled. Only a few hundred people live there! There is no crime to speak of at all! It may be desolate but we found it to be a lovely break from the mass market tourism of PLS.

I will concede I definitely have rose-colored glasses for Sailrock given it was my honeymoon and it's objectively the nicest resort I've ever stayed at. Perhaps I'd be more nitpicky if I had many 5-star hotel experiences to compare it to. That said, I stand by highly recommending it to anyone asks, with the caveat that it's definitely a resort for people who are looking to lounge on a beautiful beach and completely disconnect from the outside world, as you alluded to

This will also help those traveling to and from Grand Turk, saving them time and money going to go to Provo to catch the flight to MIA.

What ever happened to this guy?
