    I just wanted to add some information from our experience(s) traveling to St Maarten from Florida.  We obtained the necessary PCR Covid test within the three day required period for travel.  These negative PCR test results we then downloaded to the stmaartenehas.com/application-form with all the necessary travel information they required, such as Airline and flight numbers, length of stay,  place of stay and payment of the required $30.00 for health insurance so that we could obtain the necessary Pre Approval form for our travel.  After submitting this document we received our "Electronic Health Authorization System "Authoriation Pre-Approved" documentation in approximately 20 minutes.  This document was checked by the airline during our physical check-in.

     

    The airport and our flight was well managed for social distancing and all passengers wore their masks.  The flight attendants provided a non-alcoholic beverage and snack service.

     

    Upon landing they have a ramp for passengers to walk to the tarmac where you are directed into the airport immigration area to present your three required documents. 1- Results of your PCR test,  2- St Maarten Authorization Pre-Approved document and  3- Passport.

     

    While inside the immigration area of the airport there are many officials reminding you of what documents you need to prepare to show for entry.

     

    We only had an approximately 20 minute wait, however, we talked with many others that experienced wait times of over 90 minutes.  The wait times differed due to the number of planes landing and the number of passengers.  Wheelchairs are available but they are limited in number.

     

    We had prearranged a taxi for our pick-up although many are readily available. 

     

    Overall, it was a great flight and an easy process.

     

    I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

     

    In addition, I'll be back to add information about our experience getting our Covid test on the island and the process to return back to the US.

    Thank you Sunshine, that was useful information as we’ll be arriving June 27th for our July 3rd Cruise.
