- Saint-Martin ↗Entry rules follow France for the French side, and those for French overseas territories can differ from mainland France: check official French sources for your passport. Arriving through the Dutch-side airport, check Sint Maarten's rules too.
- Saint-Martin ↗The island has two jurisdictions: Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Kingdom of the Netherlands). Laws, currencies and emergency services differ on each side.
- Saint-Martin ↗Ferries to Anguilla, St Barths and Saba are international trips: carry your passport.
- Grand Case and Marigot (French side) ↗June to November is hurricane season with the peak in August to October: buy flexible fares and insurance that covers storm cancellations.
- Marigot ↗The big waterfront market runs on Wednesday and Saturday mornings; on other days only a few stalls open. Plan the market for those mornings.
- Marigot ↗The Simpson Bay and Sandy Ground bridges open for boats at set times: leave a buffer on airport days.

- Taxi from the official rank outside arrivals, fare agreed before you get in, straight to the door.
- Precision
- The airport is on the Dutch side; the road to Marigot crosses the Simpson Bay and Sandy Ground bridges, which open for boats at set times (field-verify times); confirm the pickup with your flight number.

If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a pickup; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.

- If the bridges are open, ask the driver about the alternative route and allow the extra time.
