WOW! Okay this is so cool. Just watching one of the videos made my stomach lurch a bit (in an excited avgeek way). Officially on my bucket list!

Marco is a jerk. How much did you pay for your subscription to this "worthless" document?

I'm sad to see you missed SXM Airways. They operate a number of flights a day. Wouldn't have known about this unless I didn't see options on Expedia under "FlexFlight" (which eTickets for SXM Airways). It's a bit confusing because on the SXM Airways website if you book directly through them, you have to click on "shared charters" and then the flights/pricing show up. Sam Chui did a video review of one of their BN-2 planes. Generous policies. The staff was super friendly, amazing, experienced pilots - I truly had a great 10 minute trip with them very recently.

SBH is a cool approach; didn’t have the best experience with Winair (chaotic, delayed, bad communication, etc.) Still, worth a visit!

There are lovely Airbnbs on St. Barts - I stayed in one of them during my last visit a few years ago. It is possible to have an enjoyable vacation in St. Barts which reasonable expenses. And to enjoy this landing approach ! Although I noticed that there are wealthy guests which book a trip there due to the prestige even they do look out of place.

I'm not completely sure about the purpose of this article, it starts like a trip report but then proceeds to show some videos and photos from 2 years ago.

I have landed in both Saba and SBH. Saba is a thrill.

There's a lovely small boutique hotel right next to the airport, Pearl Beach St. Barths, where you can swim off their beach and inbound aircraft literally come in right over your head for la...
