If we took a flight from JFK to Jamaica and the switched planes in Jamaica to go to St. Lucia....anyone know if this would be a jet or a puddle jumper? HOneymoon or not, I do not get on planes with propellers.....

Re: Jamaica to St. Lucia Plane Info?
Rachel, I totally understand how you feel! Let me ask you a question... When are you leaving? Because if you are going to Sandals, they have DIRECT flights from Newark to St. Lucia from Monday to Monday! Maybe that helps you! Other than that, I'm not sure! Sorry. Have you tried contacting Sandals to see? Hope it works out for ya!

Lauren - I think the charter non-stops are Sunday to Sunday, which is part of our problem. FH does not want to leave on the Sunday after the wedding...he wants to leave Monday, which is the layover flight that I'm asking about.

Thrilled - I understand how you feel BUT just so you know if a plane is going to go down you have a better chance of making it in a prop plane than a jet. I know its a horrible thing to say but its true.

OH CRAP! You're RIGHT!!! Sorry! I was a little confused. If it were Monday to Monday then I'd have no problem!
Good luck Rachel!

You can also call the airline and find out what type of aircraft it is. I am the worst flyer and do this all the time. Or, have you tried xanex to fly? works for me most of the time...just a suggestion.

Re: Jamaica to St. Lucia Plane Info?
we are going to Sandals St Lucia for our HM in May (monday). we are taking air jamaice (they are having a sale when we booked) it is considered a 'direct' flight. it stops in barbados for like 1/2 hour (i was told no switching planes) I don't remember the kind of plane, tho. check out airjamaica.com Im sure you can get specifics or call.

Re: Jamaica to St. Lucia Plane Info?
I am also going to St. Lucia. From what I understand, with the Air Jamaica flight, you don't change planes, you land and then take off again in Jamaica. The only thing is that you are flying into the airport in St. Lucia that is very far away from the resorts. My friend opted to take a helicoptor ride ( I think for $50 a person) from the airport to the resort,rather than sitting on a long bus ride. I think we are just going to fly to San Juan, transfer to a smaller (I think it's 60 passengers, no propellers!!) jet and then fly to the airport in St. Lucia that is very close to the resorts instead. Good luck.

Re: Jamaica to St. Lucia Plane Info?
Exactly what cg511 said. We did the exact flight. You stop in Jamaica, let most of the plane out and then go onto St. Lucia which is about another 20 minutes away. It's kind of nice because the plane is empty and you get to spread out for a few minutes, but it's the same big plane!
