I'm heading to Marsh Harbour at the end of April. Does anybody have any good tips about which is the best way to get there non-reving. At this time all the flights have seats but most of the flying into MHH is on a SAAb (silver) or Dash 8-300 (Bahamas Air) with a few AE 145's going in and I'm worried they might fill up to capacity closer to the time.

Airport options are West Palm Beach (United/Silver), Fort Lauderdale (United/Silver), Orlando (United/Silver), Nassau (Bahamas), Miami (Eagle).

I have travel privaleges on United, Delta and US Airways. However looking at the United non-rev travel site it doesn't show the MCO-MHH flight operated by silver but when I go to united.com it is there. What's that all about?

Does anybody know if the flights are typically full? I assume the SAAB has a flight deck jumpseat I can jumpseat on?

I'm heading on a sailing/diving trip and so we'll have proper luggage to check which I usually don't like to do non-reving. We are also on a schedule and we need to pick up the boat on a saturday so we are leaving on Thursday to give us a couple of days to get there, but we have to get there.

I'd appreciate tips from anybody with any experience non-reving to MHH or any Silver pilots that want to pitch in about load factors or what to expect etc.

Cheers
