Where flights typically depart and land
Typically depart from
Miami · OPF
Typical departure: Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport · US (OPF). Confirm the private terminal, reporting time and any customs or handling requirements with the operator.
Typically land at
St. Maarten · SXM
Typical arrival: Princess Juliana International Airport · SX (SXM). The best gateway depends on the final address, aircraft performance and airport acceptance; compare the alternatives described below.
Princess Juliana is the jet gateway. An onward flight to St. Barts or transfer to Anguilla is a separate service with its own baggage and operating limits. Build that connection into the timetable rather than assuming an immediate continuation.
