Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Official leftover hall is 6 a.m.–11 p.m.; American leftover asks 90 minutes

Official HERA page leftover-prints terminal access 6:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m. AST and leftover-prints that airline ticketing, U.S. Customs, and TSA may close earlier. American.com leftover wants 90 minutes for boarding passes or bags.

American.com leftover prints Daily 6 a.m.–9 a.m. and 12 p.m.–4 p.m. and does not accept cash or checks. Official leftover Air Traffic Control Tower 7:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. AST. AirNav leftover attendance 0500–2300 and leftover ARFF unavailable 2300–0500. 10-minute average wait in the score card is unpublished.

Layout

One campus — do not invent a KSTX page or merge St. Thomas or San Juan

Official pin is Estate Manning Bay, Christiansted, St. Croix, VI 00821. Official leftover: 181,000 sq ft two-story hall with 10 gates. Do not create /airports/kstx or /airports/tisx.

Do not merge Cyril E. King (STT), Luis Muñoz Marín (SJU), Mercedita (PSE), Rafael Hernández (BQN), Culebra (CPX), Terrance B. Lettsome (EIS), or Clayton J. Lloyd (AXA). Seaborne leftover seaplane is the Christiansted / Charlotte Amalie waterfront — not this TSA hall. Bohlke leftover is the FBO. lib/airports.json leftover still titles Alex Hamilton Airport.

Food

Official leftover names S&T Snackette — that is not an airline lounge

Official leftover dining page leftover-prints S&T Snackette at the commuter inter-island gates and again in the domestic passenger lounge, plus Stars Gift Shop in the entrance lounge.

Official VIPA traveler pages print no menu, no hours, and no bottle tariff. AiFly leftover Crab Shack / Pirates Bar / airside lounge with showers is leftover garbage. American.com clubs Not Available. Live Priority Pass St. Croix page is 404. Confirm the day’s S&T room before you count on a sit-down.

Live board

Trust FlightAware over leftover JetBlue / Delta / Sky High cells

The 15 Sep 2026 FlightAware board showed American 737 MAX 8s to Miami plus Cape Air and Fly the Whale island hops. Official leftover Airlines page still leftover-prints JetBlue as a San Juan connecting cell and leftover-prints Delta with no STX city pair.

JetBlue.com leftover still leftover-prints STX–SJU fares into November 2026 after the leftover mid-September FlightAware board had no JetBlue cell. Buccaneer leftover 4 May 2026 leftover-prints Delta ATL Saturday through 5 Sep 2026, then a gap until 14 Nov 2026. United leftover EWR Saturday is a 31 Oct 2026 future cell. Live Sky High itinerary leftover-prints STT, not STX.
