British Virgin Islands / International Flights

By Sara Macefield

The most direct way to reach the BVIs is through Antigua where there are several local flights that connect with international services, enabling passengers to make the journey on the same day. An alternative option is Puerto Rico, which is also served by direct flights from the UK, Spain and North America. St Kitts is another option as this also has a UK service. Travellers from France and Holland can connect through St Maarten, while St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands is an option for those flying from the States as the island is connected to several US cities. From here, passengers can take a local flight or jump on a ferry.

Airlines from the UK into the region:

The most regular route is via Antigua, from where there are several flights connecting with international services, enabling you to make the connection the same day. Services into Antigua from Britain include British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.Another option is Puerto Rico as both BA and Virgin now fly to San Juan, or St Kitts which is served by British Airways.

Onward flights to the BVIs are available through regional airline LIAT. You can also make the crossing through a private charter airline, for example Island Birds (see below).

Airlines from mainland Europe into the region:

There are two convenient hubs for ongoing flights to the BVIs; first St Maarten, where there are scheduled services from Paris on Air France, and Amsterdam on KLM, and second San Juan in Puerto Rico, where there are scheduled flights from Madrid on Iberia.

From St Maarten you can make the short connection on LIAT, and Winair, or with the local charter airlines (see below). From Puerto Rico, you can also connect on Air Sunshine direct to Virgin Gorda airport.

Airlines from the USA into the region:

There are several options for reaching the BVIs from the States. The two best are to travel via St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

St Thomas (STT) is served by American Airlines, Delta, United and US Air from many US cities. From here, you can catch a scheduled regional airline and fly into Beef Island or a charter plane, which becomes economic if several of you are travelling together. If you are going to Virgin Gorda or Anegada, a charter will be able to get you more directly to your destination.

San Juan in Puerto Rico is a hub for American Airlines. There are regular flights to Beef Island on American Eagle and other local airlines such as LIAT.

Airlines from Canada into the region:

Air Canada fly into San Juan. Alternatively, you can fly to a hub in the States and connect to St Thomas, from where you can catch the ferry or a small local charter airline.
