Happy airline ticket shopping everyone! Hope to see you all soon!!
Outstanding news! We’ve always flown the direct flight from Philly, until this upcoming visit (Thanksgiving) where we had to connect through Miami. I had hoped maybe American would add the PHL-STT flight again by sometime next spring with most of the resorts set to reopen by then, so this is a great surprise. Now the next great surprise will be hearing that Joe’s and/or the Beach Bar will be reopened by Thanksgiving week! *fingers crossed*
Yay!! Charlotte to STT back again! I’ll be back to my happy place in a jiffy! Soon come!
This made me very happy, too!!!
I glanced at United Airlines last night for late October and early November and they have many direct flights from Newark to ST Thomas.
