INTRO: Put Our Service To The Test
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends and clients,

Remember the film The Secret of My Success with Michael J. Fox? Well, the secret of my success is without a doubt two agents I rely on to make sure our clients' needs are met to the best of our abilities. Those two agents are Karen Hill-George (Reservations Manager) and Elizabeth 'Liz' Peterson (Operations Manager). See them both here depicted in the photo below.

Without the antics Michael J. Fox's character went through to get to the top, all I need to do is have our clients put our service to the test and our agents will take care of everything for me. The great thing is though that having such great agents, I can lead a double life, much like Brantley Foster aka Carlton Whitfield as, besides being the CEO of AirStMaarten, I am also Policy Advisor to the Parliament of St. Maarten. How did I manage that? Well, I guess you will simply have to wait until my biography comes out.

In the meantime please read this month's article entitled AirStMaarten Offers You Unprecedented Flexibility.

Happy readings!

AirStMaarten Offers You Unprecedented Flexibility

by Terrance Rey

You have just managed to book those long-sought-after airline tickets to St. Maarten for just the right price. But actually you have planned your vacation in St. Barths. So now you need to get from St. Maarten to St. Barths. You go online and you Google "how to fly from St. Maarten to St. Barths" and you find the AirStMaarten website. That's good. You are at the right spot.

AirStMaarten can offer you unprecedented flexibility in getting to St. Barths. AirStMaarten can offer you budget flights, commercial flights, shared charters, private charters and ferry service to and from St. Barths, with or withour VIP Services. And the beauty is, we can offer these options from St. Maarten, Anguilla, Antigua and/or San Juan, Puerto Rico. Well, not the ferry service. That is only available from St. Maarten to St. Barths. But more on that later...

From St. Maarten to St. Barths we can book you with St. Barth Commuter (budget flights), Winair (commercial flights) or on one of our shared charters or private charters. When travel by air is not an option, we can offer you a crossing to St. Barths by sea ferry, whether from Philipsburg, Dutch St. Maarten; Marigot, French Saint Martin or from Oyster Pond, Dutch St. Maarten.

The reason why we can offer you unprecedented flexibility is because we can combine all these options on different legs, whether to or from St. Barths, to offer you the best combination at the best price based on your connection flight information. What does that actually mean? Let me tell you exactly what that means...

When you submit a reservation request with us at www.AirSXM.com, we will ask to tell us your inbound connection flight information. We will need to know the airline name, flight number and flight time you are arriving at on your inbound airline flight. The same basically for your outbound flight: airline name (usually the same as your inbound flight), flight number and departure time.

With the aforementioned information we are able to determine the best connections to and from St. Barths. Based on availabilities, we may book you on a budget flight, a commercial flight or on a shared or private charter, if you so wish, or if you arrive after sunset, on a ferry to St. Barths. The same for the return trip from St. Barths back to St. Maarten. But trust me, those who take the ferry, do so for financial reasons.

So, that being said, with AirStMaarten, you may end up flying from St. Maarten to St. Barths on a shared charter and returning on a commercial flight with Winair. There are many possibilities and combinations as there are options available. The possibilities all depend on your budget, your willingness to be flexible and your need to get to St. Barths as quickly as possible, at a leisurely pace or in style. If you wish to travel in style to and from St. Barths, request our VIP Services. More on our VIP Services options in our next couple of issues.

REDjet gets go-ahead to service St. Maarten

Monday, 17 October 2011

PHILIPSBURG--REDjet Chief Executive Ian Burns says St. Maarten and four other Caribbean islands have given permission for the low-cost carrier to operate flights from their countries. Burns made the announcement at a news conference held at Crowne Plaza in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, last week to launch the partnership between the airline and shipping company Laparkan Trinidad Ltd. Laparkan now will be responsible for the sale and distribution of REDjet tickets to travel agencies in Antigua, Grenada, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Maarten which has been added to the four countries in which REDjet currently has permission to operate: Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica. Burns said that through Laparkan travel agents now would be able to bundle REDjet fares into holiday packages with hotels and other services. He said REDjet already had instigated a rapid change in terms of prices for consumers, despite a few early hiccups. He said he had been informed that traffic on the Guyana route had increased by 83 per cent. In addition to the expanded routes, REDjet also will be purchasing another aircraft in March 2012. No details about the service to St. Maarten were released. Officials in St. Maarten could not be reached for comment over the weekend.
