I'm not seeing that it is any cheaper to fly to another country and take a hopper flight. The extra flight adds on another $100-250 rt and a lot of time. I would think the best bet would be to fly AA from DFW-UVF. The layover times are 1 hr going there and 2 hrs coming back, which does not seem excessive. By flying into SLU vs UVF if the hotel is on the north part of the island you are only saving about $60 rt for a ride to the airport.

Correct. When you transit in BGI, PAX need to collect luggage, go landside, recheck, etc. There is a connections lane to go through in-bound immigration, on the extreme right side of the immigration arrivals hall.
