I have flown Cape Air many times. APF-EYW, RSW-EYW, SJU-STT, STT-STX.

I like them a lot. Always on time and a fun ride. If you remember the old sitcom "Wings" ...it was based on Cape Air's New England operations. Their operations have a similar feel to the attitude on the show. For instance in Key West the first staff member to greet you is often a cat. The pilot loads the luggage. Stuff like that.

You have to be OK with a very small plane, but for the STT-STX trip the flight is very short. You will spend almost as much time in the plane on the ground as you will in the air. You'll get some nice views of both islands as well.

I also fly with Skagway Air in Alaska, Now that is an experience! A 4 pax single engine Piper and awesome views.
