So, we loved when our Liveaboard did a Little Cayman swing-through last year so much that our whole group is going this December to a resort on Little Cayman for a week. I'm very excited but unfortunately booked my flights a little later than most. We're all coming in on Delta at 1:35, everybody else got a direct out at 3:20. That was sold out so I'm hopping through Cayman Brac leaving at 2:45. (And arriving roughly the same time as the direct flight.) That's the latest flight available that day.
The question is - can you make that connection in an hour and ten? My biggest worry is luggage. Current plan is to get one of the folks on the 3:20 to check my stuff for me either from the beginning or in GCM and just carry what I can on the Cayman Air flights. (I think I can get "critical" dive gear - mask / computer / regs with me and send easily rented things separately.)
Still, do you have to wait for baggage claim to get into the main terminal? Do they check ID/luggage tags? (So they'd need to check the stuff from the US under their own name?) If they have to check, what are the Cayman Air baggage limits? The website seems to indicate it's pretty generous, perhaps because their planes are too small to accept much carry-on.
