Airfare to St. Kitts???
Hi,<BR>We are a family of 6 that are interested in St. Kitts mainly for the info we have read on the board. My children love to snorkel, we have a 250 gal tropical fishtank, so its kinda there hobby. Anyways,we were wondering if its feasible to take a flight to san juan, which is roughly $300.00 ata from chicago. Then make our own connection with nevis express into St Kitts? Would that be too complicated with 4 kids with check in and check out of each flight?? We have never been to the caribbean so any help would be appreciated.<BR>Susan

American airlines (eagle) and liatairline fly from san juan (sju) to st. kitts (skb). It should not be a problem since most flights from usa go thru either san juan or miami to get to st. kitts/nevis/st. maarten, etc. Either way, there will be a plane change. Also try posting at caribbean-on-line.com.

I have always flown American to St. Kitts from Chicago, connecting through San Juan. Typically, the fare is in the $575-$650 range. I'm not familiar with other routings -- I guess you'd just have to price San Juan to St. Kitts. Connecting in San Juan should not be a major hastle -- it's not that difficult of an airport to navigate.<BR><BR>One warning: On your return flight, you will have to go through customs in San Juan, and you need to wait there for your luggage. For whatever reason, it always takes them a long time to get the luggage onto the carousels. I would recommend at least a 2 hour layover on your return flight. Twice I have had an 1.5 hour layover, and missed my connection. Another reason for the time issue is that the flights from St. Kitts often leave late -- again, I don't know why because it's mostly shuttle service between San Juan and St. Kitts -- but do allow 2 hours and you should be ok.
