Most people will arrive on St Maarten at SXM/Princess Juliana Airport. It is among the most modern and newest airports in the Caribbean and likely the second busiest to Puerto Rico’s San Juan International. Direct flights are available to/from various locations in the United States on Delta, Continental, JetBlue, Spirit, American Airlines, United and US Air; to Canada on Air Canada, WestJet, CanJet and Air Transat; to Europe on KLM (Netherlands), France on Air France, Air Caraibes and Corsair; and to/from various other islands in the Caribbean on American Eagle, Liat, Winair and several others. Air Berlin has dabbled with service from Dusseldorf during the 2010 season… it is uncertain whether the service will continue. There is also puddle-hopper service to the neighboring small islands of St Barts (MANY flights per day), Saba, Anguilla, St Eustatius. The French side of the island has its own airport on the North end, at Grand Case, but it only accommodates smaller propeller driven planes and is rarely used for international travel .
Ferry service is available to most of the neighboring islands, though schedules vary widely from every hour or two during the day to Anguilla, St Barths, Guadelupe, Martinique to one to two times per day or less to Saba .
