Which US Virgin Island is easiest to fly to?

St. Thomas is the most accessible of the U.S. Virgin Islands.



St. Thomas is definitively the easiest US Virgin Island to fly to in 2026. Its primary hub, Cyril E. King Airport (STT), receives the vast majority of direct flights from major U.S. cities, including Miami, New York, Atlanta, and Charlotte. In a major development for 2026, Southwest Airlines has also launched service to St. Thomas, further increasing accessibility and price competition. While St. Croix also has an international airport (Henry E. Rohlsen Airport), it generally serves fewer direct routes from the mainland. St. John has no airport at all, requiring a ferry ride from St. Thomas. Because of the high volume of daily flights from carriers like American, Delta, United, and Spirit, St. Thomas offers the most flexibility for travelers and is the most convenient "jumping-off point" for the rest of the territory, making it the preferred entry point for the millions of tourists who visit the islands annually.
