Thinking of booking our first trip to Cayman Brac and have some questions about flying from Cayman Brac to Miami for those with experience.
My understanding is that the 6:05 AM Saturday flight stops in GCM on the way from Brac but then continues direct to Miami, that's why there is only one flight number.

What is the procedure when you land in GCM? I thought the flight had to stop at GCM since Brac doesn't have proper security for a direct flight to the US. So does this mean in GCM you leave the plane and go through security? What about luggage, both checked and carry on?
What about this set of flights offered by Cayman Airways?

That's only 45 minutes to connect to the flight to Miami. Is that possible? What security do you have to go through for connecting flights?
I'm trying to stay on the 737 since I carry on about 45 pounds of camera gear, plus the Cayman Airways direct flight from Miami to Brac is appealing, so I am trying to return via Cayman Airways also.
Any help understanding how the flights work is appreciated.
