A lot of tourists are saying that even if they could get a flight out, the airlines were charging $2k++ and they couldn’t afford to pay that. A video from the girls staying in the villa (who I’ve since learned are on a yoga retreat) were getting quotes of $6k each for a private jet (some of them did leave but three girls stayed behind). I’m not sure what travel insurance would cover in this situation. I would hesitate to travel to hurricane prone areas during the active season. Plus, this storm has been milling around the Caribbean for a week or more and had been projected to hit Jamaica & Cuba in some capacity.
