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.
