St. Maarten Airport Early Summer 2025 Plane Spotting Series Pt. 1

Hello folks, welcome to my Early Summer 2025 Plane Spotting Series here at Princess Juliana International Airport. Last time when I spotted at St. Maarten, I spotted at the Maho Beach. However, there is safety concern as to where if a plane were to take off, we could get blown away by jet blast. I even heard about that on YouTube when one person was blown unto some barrier and then did not survive later on. So for that, this time I was able to spot right at the CocoVaa Hotel by Simpson Bay Beach. So the plan of plane spotting started on Tuesday to where I started spotting planes at around 3:00 PM. Unfortunately, there were not that many planes to spot depending on the flight schedule. So I spotted the next day and so forth. On Friday, I’ll be heading to the Maho Beach :desert_island: to go swimming :man_swimming:. I’ll even find somewhere to buy lunch :sandwich:. Then after the beach, I’ll grab a ride to a very attractive place, then even go to a restaurant for dinner :shallow_pan_of_food:. Then heading back to the hotel, I’ll start packing up my luggage and my personal item, having my passport and my itinerary ready in handy for the Dubai :united_arab_emirates: trip. So I hope you enjoy the first part of the plane spotting series.
