How do I get to St. Croix?
St. Croix has its very own tiny airport, where one feels a refreshing change from the mega-modal centers of the continents with the first step onto the tarmac. The airport code is STX. Flights usually stop in Miami (MIA) or Puerto Rico (San Juan=SJU) before continuing on to St. Croix. However, a new route from Delta flys non-stop from Atlanta.
The major airlines that fly to St. Croix are American (often as American Eagle) (www.aa.com , 800-433-7300), Delta (http://www.delta.com), and US Airways (www.usairways.com, 800-428-4322), although that is subject to change. We usually fly American and they often have “web specials” on their site. You’re likely to find fares from $400 to 600. We recommend calling as well as looking on their websites.
It is also possible, but more trouble and not necessarily cheaper, to fly into St. Thomas (STT) and then take a seaplane or ferry service to St. Croix. There are also small planes that fly routes between Old San Juan and other neighboring islands, including St. Croix. Try Seaborne Airlines (seaborneairlines.com) or Cape Air.
We will post specials as we hear of them here on this page. Know of one? email us a link or describe how others can access it!
We will arrange transport from the airport to VISFI for all registered program students, teachers, interns, apprentices, and others… please email a copy of your itenerary at least a week ahead of your arrival date to info@visfi.org so we may be there when you arrive.
Happy and safe travels. We look forward to seeing you here!
