Hi Folks,

Departure tax is presently $20 if you're leaving the Antilles, and it is collected at a small booth at the airport (conveniently located at the arrivals area - go figure). Cash only. There is an ATM which takes Cirrus near there though.

Departure tax can be paid in $ or NF, or a mix: good way to dispose of any leftovers. Go the airport as soon as your airline opens it's counter, checkin and then go back and shower. Drop your car when you arrive to fly. Much more comfortable trip. I'm assuming this ploy still works with the present security system.

How early is American Eagle (or whoever services their plane) open for the 7 am flight to SJ?
|

Around 5am is when the ticket counter opens. All the flights I've taken have left more or less on time, and almost universally gotten in a little early to San Juan (that's about 8 of them since they started in June of last year).

Jake..Do you know if it's possible to check in the night before to get boarding passes if you don't have luggage to check?
|
By Jake Richter - NetTech on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 10:59 am: |
Yes I do know, and no it's not possible. You have to join everyone else in line. Sorry. (And, considering I just got elevated to Gold AAdvantage, I'm personally a little bummed that I don't get priority in check-in on Bonaire too :-) ).

Thanks for the info Jake. It was nice to get boarding passes the night before. Oh well...

The line is much shorter at 5 am!!! It makes for a long day but I prefer not standing in line, and having had a shower for the trip. Nice to have a choice!!
