After a few more days of pondering and discussion with friends, I have come up with a few more theories based on the information revealed in the LOST episode last week.
As we know, until Locke blew it up, the "Others" were traveling to and from the island on a submarine, and were not suffering, (as far as we can tell) any Desmod-like side effects. As such, one can only conclude that traveling to and from the island by air is far more risky and dangerous than doing so underwater.
While I still believe that an electrical storm or change in magnetic field is required, I think that the underwater station (where Charlie made contact with Penny and then drowned) had something to do with the ability of the submarine to travel to and from the island, and perhaps such a magnetic change can occur through that station.
It is probably easier to keep a straight heading underwater, which is why the "others" used underwater travel as their main mode of transportation. Either way, getting to and from the island is never an easy process. Recall the flashback episode of Juliette, she was drugged when she entered the submarine on her way to the island; this was probably to help prevent any side effects.
Finally, as we see in the flash-forwards, the members of the "Oceanic 6" (those we know so far) do not seem to be suffering any side effects from their re-entry. This leads me to believe they will travel back underwater. As Ben is also back on the mainland, I believe he will arrange their safe passage, which will be achieved on another submarine.
***Oh wait, I have one more thought...
I predict Sun is not making it off the island alive; remember she's pregnant. And the "powers that be," told us someone will perish soon, as such I think she could also be a contender. If not now, soon.
That's all.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
