Is the landing safe?

Yes. The runway is short, so only small aircraft and specially certified crews operate here. The approach looks dramatic and the landing is firm, but it is routine for the pilots who fly it daily.

How do I get to Saba?

A short scheduled flight from St Maarten (SXM), roughly fifteen minutes. A ferry from St Maarten is the other route.

What happens if the weather closes the airport?

Flights are held or cancelled and the ferry becomes the way across. Leave slack in your plans either side of a Saba stay, and avoid booking a same-day onward long-haul connection.

How much luggage can I bring?

Less than on the flight that brought you to the region. Check the allowance with the operating airline before you travel.
