Tortola by plane
Air travel is the usual way to access the BVI, however, long-distance direct flights are not available, and you must transit one of the four Caribbean gateways; San Juan (IATA: SJU), St. Thomas (IATA: STT), Antigua (IATA: ANU) & St. Maarten (IATA: SXM). Connections are readily available through commuter airline operations on the lower end, if your schedule allows.
Private charter flights are unnecessary as there are several reliable airlines serving Beef Island.
Air Charter companies, like Fly BVI and Aeroshares Charter, LLC have become more popular in recent years. These charter flights get you to your destination directly, without transfers or water shuttles. They will also be there if your arriving flight is delayed for any reason.
Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (IATA: EIS) a.k.a. Beef Island Airport is located on the East End of Tortola. Some travelers opt to fly into St. Thomas, having Fly BVI Air Charter meet them for the 14 min flight, while others opt to take the water ferry to Road Town, then take a taxi to their villa or marina, alhough depending on the ferry schedule and your arrival and departure times, this option can virtually tie up the better part of two days during your vacation.
