Flights to St Maarten

We are cruising on Windstar but need flights to St Maarten.

Anyone taken Spirit from FLL to SXM?

One of the big things to consider travelling to meet a cruise with a bare bones, ultra low cost carrier like Spirit is that you might get hit with baggage fees that are as much or more than your ticket. 

 

Frankly I would consider a more mainstream carrier where the additional fees aren't as a la carte as Spirit for this type of trip.

Yes I am aware. Delta and American are over $1500. per person from Miami!

Do you have points you could convert from a credit card for Delta or AA? With fares that high it would be a good time to use them, even for a shorter trip like this. 

 

Also look at options with a stop-- as counterintuitive and dumb as it sounds, flying Delta from Miami to their hub in Atlanta and then to St Maarten can save you a ton sometimes.
