GETTING TO THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Terrence B. Lettsome Airport
There are no direct flights from the USA, Canada and Europe. All flights must
connect through another Caribbean airport on islands such as Puerto Rico,
St. Thomas, Antigua, or St. Maarten. Your travel agent or international airline
will be able to assist with booking flights. If you plan to make reservations
online, remember that you will have to request flights to Tortola (EIS).
From North America
The most direct way to arrive to the BVI from North America is via
San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU)
From the UK
Travellers from the UK (from London, Gatwick) may find it easiest to travel
directly to Antigua by way of the VC Bird International Airport. then on to the
BVI.
If you are travelling on to Virgin Gorda (VIJ), Anegada, Peter Island, or Jost
van Dyke, check with your hotel, resort, or villa to make sure that charter
flights or ferry service will be available if you arrive after 4pm. Otherwise,
plan to spend a night or two in Tortola before exploring the rest of
“Nature’s Little Secrets.”
Boat charters can be arranged via St. Thomas, Road Town or Beef Island.
