Ways to Get to St Barts
There are two main ways to get on the small island of St. Barts – by boat or by plane. The latter is by far the easiest, most comfortable and most fun way to get on the island – so it will be the focus of our article.
Because St. Barts is a small island, its airport (and available airstrip) is small too – meaning that all of the aircraft that can land here are small charters with a capacity of 20 passengers or less.
Thus the best way to get to St. Barts is to first book a standard commercial flight to one of the nearby bigger islands (see the route map below). These flights are regularly operated from both the U.S. and Europe by big airlines such as Air France, Delta, Continental, United Airlines, and many others.
