  • Do they use US dollars in the US Virgin Islands?

    Yes, they do. While the islands are considered "unincorporated territories" of the United States, they do use the same currency, so there are no foreign exchange transactions involved for US citizens or permanent residents after your flight from the US to US Virgin Islands. Both airports have ATMs in case you need some cash after you arrive.

  • Which island has some of the best beaches?

    This is a matter of personal preference, however according to many travel magazines, St. John has some of the most pristine and beautiful beaches (Trunk Bay Beach, Honeymoon Bay Beach) that are included on the Top 10 list.

    Virgin Islands National Park is the biggest national park in the US Virgin Islands and consumes most of the island of St. John (about 60%).

Direct flights to Saint Thomas (STT) are accessible out of Charlotte (CLT), New York (JFK and EWR), Orlando (MCO), Atlanta (ATL), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Miami (MIA).

Flights to Christiansted are a bit prolonged as they normally incorporate a transfer. Flights to the Virgin Islands from the west coast like Los Angeles (LAX), will include at least one layover at Miami (MIA) or Dallas therefore the total travel time will be longer, spanning between 12 to 17 hours.

Your guide to booking flights to the U.S. Virgin Islands

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 4 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 16% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your dates are flexible, January usually has the best deals, while December tends to be the priciest. The best-time-to-travel chart on this page shows how prices move across the year.
  • Tuesday is usually the cheapest day to fly, about 17% cheaper than Saturday, the priciest day. If your dates are flexible, that's an easy way to save. If not, try nearby airports or a layover instead.
  • If you're looking to save, Saint Thomas Island Cyril E King (STT) has had the lowest fares over the past 12 months. Just remember to factor in the cost of getting to your final destination.
  • Saint Thomas Island is the most popular destination in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Start your trip here and then check out these other places KAYAK travelers love: St. John, Christiansted and Cruz Bay.
  • Consider a layover to the U.S. Virgin Islands, it can cost less than flying nonstop. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is typically the cheapest place to connect.
  • The US Virgin Islands are considered a dependent territory of the United States; therefore, US citizens do not require a passport or a visa to visit the islands. Permanent residents also do not require a visa, but all other visa holders and foreign nationals should check with their local consulate before making travel arrangements.
  • The US Virgin Islands comprise the Caribbean islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John. Two of them have international airports: Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport (STX), otherwise known as Christiansted Airport, on St. Croix and Cyril E. King International Airport (STT), or St. Thomas Island Airport. Visitors traveling to St. John need to take a ferry from St. Thomas.
  • St. Croix is the most southerly and largest of the islands, although most of the flights from the US to US Virgin Islands are destined for St. Thomas. You can get nonstop service from Florida Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) to Christiansted Airport via Spirit Airlines, which uses the airport as a hub.
  • St. Thomas is the easternmost of the group of islands and is the closest to the Eastern seaboard of the United States, hence the number of scheduled flights from the US to US Virgin Islands. Charlotte Amalie is the capital of the island, lies due east of St. Thomas Island Airport and is home to the landmark Blackbeard’s Castle.
  • The smallest of the US Virgin Islands is St. John, which marks the boundary between the US territories and the British Virgin Islands. Pillsbury Sound separates St. Thomas and St. John and is home to several islets, including Thatch Cay and Lanvango Cay. If your flight is destined for St. Thomas Island Airport, you can discover them all for yourself.
  • If you’re flying to the U.S. Virgin Islands’ capital Charlotte Amelia on St. Thomas Island, consider booking your flight to Cyril E. King Airport (STT). The Airport is situated approximately two miles from Charlotte Amelia making it easier to move around the city center.
  • If you are connecting to U.S. Virgin Islands from the U.S., consider booking your flight to STT. STT serves as the supreme gateway into the United States Virgin Islands. STT has an ideal connection to major airports around the world and receives multiple airlines flying from Miami (MIA), Washington D.C. (IAD), Atlanta (ATL), Orlando (MCO), Charlotte (CLT), Los Angeles (LAX), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and New York (EWR and JFK), among other cities.
  • On St Thomas, there’s a synagogue - an ancient American synagogue, where the floors are made of sand. Saint Thomas travelers yearning to visit this national historic landmark should consider flying to STT and taking the ferry to the synagogue.
  • To see the spread-out St. George Village Botanical Gardens on St. Croix as well as keep an eye out for various species of giant sea turtles. Consider booking your flight to Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport (STX) it’s quite close to the botanical garden.
  • St. Thomas has sandy stretches with magnificent beaches. On the north coast, there’s Magens Bay a perfect place for kayaking or swimming, and Lindquist beach in Smith Bay Park on the eastern end. Consider flying to STT to access St. John’s beaches.

Terrible, decided to delay our flight since another flight require a flight captain

staff and crew were great but the flight delays for the last few flights are insane. After a long day of work and you will get a notification of flights delay is not the message we want to see. And for some reason it keeps happening often this year.

I love southwest. I can not wait until all the planes convert to the upgraded planes. I love the charging option and the newer seats. Thank you from a very loyal Southwest customer.

My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

My first flight from LGA to STL was not good. They didn't do service until over halfway through the flight, the internet didn't really work, and the crew all seemed like they didn't want to be there.

We were stressed about landing as our connecting flight was about to start boarding, being unfamiliar with the airport or where the gates were. We exited the plane to discover we were at the gate we needed. We would be getting back on the same plane but nobody told us we could have just stayed onboard. My wife and I were seated on aisle seats across from each other. We asked if there was a way we could sit together. Once we were at cruising altitude they let us move to an unoccupied row so that was nice.

It’s Southwest. The seats are small, the snacks are meh, it’s $50 to check a bag. It’s exactly fine. Could have been better. Could have been worse. It’s not Spirit

They delayed my flight all day but didn't try to reschedule me until all other options were gone. Ended up on a red eye. Not happy. Lesson learned, don't book the last flight from SJC to RDU.

Every single flight I take with southwest is delayed by at least one hour. Unbelievable

When I made my reservation it would have been nice if kayak would have included my luggage. Unaware that I had to pay $45 each way. Should have asked at reservation time if luggage was being checked

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

Everything went smoothly, WiFi connection was strong. Time to upgrade the regional planes, we are all on top of each other. No room to comfortably do anything.

The bathroom is disgustingly dirty. It looks like the crew members didn’t clean it on a regular basis. Also, who made the bathroom so small?. I am not a big girl but I still feel very cramped inside. Def unpleasant experience to use the bathroom.

My experience with Delta is always pleasant. My return flight #1426 from ATL to RIC was very delayed with departure and landing. It also took a substantial amount of time for baggage claim. It was already late at night, so the delays made for a very long day. I did not get home until after 12 midnight.

I had a great flight with delta. Plane was clean and the staff was nice, I would fly again with delta.

After flying with Qatar Airways and Kenya Airlines. Delta leaves a lot to be desired

A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

Great overall experience and use of the Delta One lounge was amazing!

I used by Skymiles to upgrade to First so that I could comfortably work using my laptop. But WiFi was intermittent and unavailable for long periods. I feel like I wasted 70,000 miles :(

It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.

I appreciate how quickly and kindly the people at the gate at DCA accommodated several of us who wanted to switch from the 6pm flight to the 5pm flight at the last minute. The flight crew was helpful to us too (dealing with luggage).

Very uncomfortable and cramped seats. Everything else was okay, the crew members were nice but nothing was exceptional.

Check in went smoothly. Flight attendant who was assigned my area barely paid any attention to me! She acted as though she was extremely busy and flustered. Maybe she was new?! I told her to change the language on my screen, she said she’d come back to help me but never did so I was able to solve the problem on my own. She came back and said she’d made adjustments on her end. Highly doubt it because I found the setting to change the language! Also, I noticed everyone was eating before we landed so I pushed my help button and she never came so I got up to find her to ask her if I can have breakfast. She said they are not serving breakfast but I can have a sandwich. Yes, that was her response as I saw everyone eating breakfast!!!

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

Starlink internet made the flight time shrink and I was able to work.

Tiny seat made for midgets. You can’t put a normal size human in such a tiny seat for 8 god damn hours! Hot plane, no air. Lost bags at Rome airport for 8 hours, lucky to have found them. Horrible flying experience, United Airlines should be embarrassed!

The issue is the flight is delayed, which causes me Missing the connecting flight by 3 mins. Remember the connecting flight is a US codeshare flight so UA should be able to inform the operating airline about the delay.

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

We sat on the tarmac in Denver for over 30 minutes because a plane was in our gate. The pilot kept saying it will just be 5 minutes or less. However, we sat for over 30 minutes. Experiences like this make customers not trust what the pilot is saying.

Fort Lauderdale doesn't have Priority Security line so why was such option available for purchase? I need a refund back

1/2 full flight, nice and comfy flight. On time, good service

Both ways the people in the rear section of the plane were forced to check their carry on bags. I would understand this if the size and number of bags were not limited, but I do not understand why there is not room for one small overhead bag per person, even if the flight is full. I could watch the baggage handlers loading the extra luggage from my window and I’m pretty sure mine wouldn’t have survived undamaged, even though it is new and sturdy.

You sent me a confirmation yesterday for a flight reservation today that I never made. What is going on?????

Entertainment, clean plane and funny pilot over the intercom was excellent… however, gate agent was rude and was probably a Spirit employee before they went bankrupt… there were 3 flight attendants - 2 of them didn’t want to be there the other one was kind and nice… I want you to recognize how you have to compete with Delta or South West airlines or even American Airlines which would choose over you at any given day from here on out. Please treat people respectfully. If you hate working in this industry - go and work somewhere else. The flight was very empty and it shouldn’t be hard to crack a smile once in a while. Very disappointing… I remember flying Jet Blue back in the day from Dulles IAD to LAX and you guys were super cool and fancy and made flying fun again - truly elevated the experience. Don’t become the next most hated airline… you can do better . I want you to succeed…

Free wifi was almost impossible to get, kept dropping the connection

Not good - we boarded and taxied for an hour before they told us there were technical issues with the plane. They told us we were going to need to deplane, parked back at the gate but then didn’t tell us we didn’t have to anymore. There was just a lot of uncertainties with poor communication.

3.5 hour delay because of “mundane” mx issue. Aircraft had to be towed 3 times.

Overall great experience, though my screen for entertainment was not working and I could see that others were.

Crew was excellent! Food not served because it was such a short flight.

All good. Flight crew was super friendly at the end of a long day

All good. Easy check in and boarding. Lovely flight crew

Friendly crew and pilot. And thank you to the pilot for his smooth landing technique where the wheels don't hit the ground hard - that should be table stakes but doesn't seem to be the case nowadays.

Four hour delay due to late plane arrival- second year in a row on MCO - DCA route. Pitiful service reliability from American. Will avoid in future

Flight was fine, food could have improved (Chicken Enchiladas) and so could the entertainment options on the seat rest (there was none).

I have generally had positive experiences with American Airlines (outside a handful of delayed flights), which is why I wanted to share this feedback constructively. On my recent flight, my travel experience was extremely uncomfortable because my seat mate significantly encroached into my assigned seat space for the duration of the flight. As a result, I was forced to sit partially sideways, with much of my shoulder and upper body extending into the aisle. Unfortunately, my back still hurts from maintaining that awkward position.I recognize that this is a sensitive and challenging issue for airlines and cabin crews to address. Everyone deserves to travel with dignity and respect, and I understand that individual circumstances can vary. However, fairness also requires that all passengers have reasonable access to the seat space they have paid for. When one passenger's use of space substantially impacts another passenger's ability to sit safely and comfortably, there should be a practical solution available.I appreciate the complexities involved, but I hope American Airlines will continue exploring ways to ensure that all passengers can travel comfortably and equitably. This experience detracted significantly from what should have been a routine flight.

The crew was great! The issue for me is the aircraft. The Airbus A32x is just not comfortable enough and the entertainment delivery via personal devices is problematic.

The crew was dis respectful even in business class. I will not recommend AA to anyone and will also fly only when there is no choice

Flight delayed 3 times due to maintenance (on exact same plane that had just brought us from Boston to Miami). Eventually changed to a different plane and gate.

Both flights were delayed. One by an hour and the other by 1 1/2 hours after boarding.
