AIRPORT SERVICES

Arriving in St. Maarten

After disembarking from your aircraft, you will either enter Princess Juliana International airport (SXM) by shuttle bus off the tarmac or via a jet bridge from the plane directly into the terminal.

You are always required to fill out the Custom forms provided to you by your airline before landing. We also ask that you save your boarding passes and luggage tags. We will be needing these items. As you enter the terminal building, you will pass through the Transit Hall.

Transit

If you are in transit to another island, you can go directly to the Transfer Information Desk of the connecting airline. In the Transit Hall you will find the Transfer Information Desks of St. Barth Commuter, Winair and Windward Express.

If you are connecting on other airlines and charter operators such as American Airlines, Anguilla Air Services, Dutch Antilles Express (DAE), Inselair, LIAT, Trans Anguilla Airways, etc., you are required to go through Immigration and check in at their Transit Desks in the Bagage Claim Area or outside in the Check-In Hall.

AirStMaarten operates flights with each of these carriers and you will be advised in your confirmations to report to the Transit Information Desks or Check-In Counters of one of these carriers.

VIP Transfer Services

If you have booked our VIP Transfer Service, you must report to the AirStMaarten VIP Services agent you are referred to in the confirmation you will receive.

Our VIP Services agent will take your checked luggage tags. Transit Tax formalities will be taken care of on your behalf ($15 per person effective November 15th, 2008). You will be escorted through security screening to access the Departure Lounge area. A VIP Lounge is available where you can sit in comfort and privacy while you wait for boarding time. Access to the VIP Business Lounge is $20 per person.

In the meantime, your luggage will be collected and will be checked in with your outbound airline. Every effort will be made to get your luggage on the same flight as you. (DisclaimerThis cannot always be guaranteed. If there is not enough room for your luggage on your flight due to weight imbalance and safety issues, our staff will do their best get your luggage on another flight, irrespective of airline.)

Should there be a delay between your arrival and your outbound flight, our staff will endeavor to get you on the next available flight to your final destination. Should your incoming flight to St Maarten be delayed and you miss your outbound connection, every effort will be made to get you on the next available flight out.

If you are traveling to St. Barths or Anguilla and for any reason there are no flights available to these destinations, our staff will arrange a boat ferry and transfer you and your luggage to the dock. Alternatively we can arrange a private boat charter to St. Barths or Anguilla. You will be advised before of the additional costs involved.

If you have to overnight in St Maarten, our staff will arrange hotel accommodations for you, including taxi transfers, dining reservations, etc.. The extra costs of this is for your account and responsibility.

Premium VIP Meet & Greet Services (NEW!!!)

We offer a Premium VIP Meet & Greet Services which includes having our host or hostess meet you at the door of the aircraft and escort you directly to our VIP Lounge where you can sit, relax or freshen up while we clear you through Immigration and retrieve your luggage.

If you are in transit to another island, our host(ess) will escort you to the boarding gate at the appropriate departure time. While you wait on your departure you can enjoy the drinks and snacks on offer; watch the news on tv or access your emails via the internet computers.

Staying on St. Maarten

If you are staying on St. Maarten, you must clear Immigration. If you have booked our VIP Meet & Greet, you will be taken to the priority line and expedited through the Immigration Clearance process by our VIP Services agent.

In the Bagage Claim Area, immediately after the Immigration Customs booths, you will await the arrival of your luggage together with our VIP Services agent. Once you have identified your luggage and you have taken these off of the baggage carrousel, our VIP Services agent will have these transferred and escort you out into the Arrival Area. There you will either be handed over to the host or hostess of our Groundhandling Services or transportation will be arranged for you.
