How do I get to the BVI?

Flight Options to STT Airport (St Thomas)
Flight Options to EIS (Tortola)
The main plan is to fly East and/or South closer to the coast, overnight near the airport (or redeye), continue
 
Destination Options
  • Saint Thomas (STT)
  • Tortola Beef Island (EIS) – not a lot of direct flights, part of the year from Miami, some from San Juan Puerto Rico (SJU)
 
Benefits of St. Thomas (STT) – more flights, cheaper, it’s in the United States
Downsides of St. Thomas – another taxi, then a ferry, customs, then a taxi.  Can be tiring after a long trip.
Benefits of Beef Island (Tortola) EIS airport – it’s less than an hour tax from Nanny Cay, there’s buoys at Trellis Bay, so you could walk to the boat if needed.
Downsides of EIS – more expensive, less flight options, and sometimes flights from San Juan are unreliable.
 
Layover Options
San Juan PR (SJU)  SJU to STT is less than $100 normally  SJU to EIS is around $150-$175
Miami (MIA) MIA to STT is $462 MIA to EIS $660 – $775
Airport Hotels in MIA and SJU are both good overnight options if you want to avoid a red eye
JFK is nice if you want to get in early afternoon, watch a Broadway play, then catch a morning flight direct to STT
 
The last Miami to EIS (Beef Island) flight leaves at 10:25 am
so if Miami, either overnight or take red eye out of Vegas ($105 to $175 on Spirit [yuck])
