Author: Vicki moore (---.dhcp.jcsn.tn.charter.com) Date:   08-13-08 00:32 Yes Debbie, believe it was 40 something cents extra per pound. I paid LOTS for our flights!! I also would recommend Henry, with the # listed above. He was wonderful to work with. He charged $80 for the 3 of us. We ended up giving him $100 with the heavy luggage. We brought our scuba gear too, but next time will bring our snorkeling gear and our reg/computers and will get the bc from Tazz or Culebra Divers. Vicki in Tennessee

Author: Mort (---.tampabay.res.rr.com) Date:   08-13-08 16:22 In my experience, the airlines don't always weigh your luggage. If the plane isn't full, sometimes they don't care. But worst case scenario is you pay 40 cents per pound, which would only amount to $40 for an extra 100 pounds. Not bad at all.

Author: Vicki moore (---.dhcp.jcsn.tn.charter.com) Date:   08-13-08 23:42 They weighed our luggage each time and the planes were never full. They also weighed each person's luggage on the flight. Vicki in Tennessee

Author: Mort (---.tampabay.res.rr.com) Date:   08-14-08 11:31 Then definitely we can't count on being lucky. Probably if someone shows up with a lot of luggage and equipment, they'll be weighed and charged. When I flew, I traveled with a more typical amount of luggage. When we had our camping stuff, we took the ferry. By the way, per the ferry's rules, they could have charged us extra for all our bags, but they didn't. The ferry was barely 20% full. Ah, the off season is great!

Author: Mort (---.tampabay.res.rr.com) Date:   08-27-08 13:30 The taxis to Fajardo are looking like a better and better deal these days compared to the airplanes, considering that the plane fares have gone up and that the luggage surcharge is being regularly enforced. And the ferry is a fun experience... definitely an integral part of Culebra.

Re: TAXI

Author: Debbie (---.ms.com) Date:   08-28-08 10:34 I don't understand why people have such trouble reaching Air Flamenco. I called two weeks ago, at several times during the day, checking travel times and availability before finally booking. I got a live person every time. I called maybe 4 times over two days. These are the numbers I used (from their website). 787-724-1818 / 787-721-7332 Happy Diving! Debbie

Re: TAXI

Author: BLACKBURN (---.asm.bellsouth.net) Date:   09-13-08 14:41 We made up our minds to fly over and drive back. I got Air Flamenco on the first try. As a matter of fact on the second and third as I had additional questions. One way is $60.00 and the excess weight charge over 25 lbs is still .60 per pound. John
