British Virgin Islands / Flights

The BVI cannot take any planes larger than a 64 seater, so if you are flying from Europe or the States you will definitely have to make a connection within the Caribbean. For the onward leg into Beef Island (this is main airport for Tortola and it also serves boat connections to Virgin Gorda) you can choose a scheduled Caribbean airline, but there are also many charter airlines working out of the BVI. If you are travelling in a group it can be economic as well as being much more convenient. You can leave when your plane gets in rather than waiting for a connection that already has some scheduling elasticity built into it.

If there are no delays, it is almost always possible to make the whole trip within the single day from Europe and the States. Your luggage, however, is less likely to make it, so do definitely take a change of lightweight clothes and your swimming costume in your hand luggage. On the return journey it is a good idea to have some winter clothes with you in case you arrive back home in snow with nothing but a tropical shirt and shorts.
