Getting to St. Croix, without the guesswork.

STX · Henry E. Rohlsen Airport

Five nonstop gateways — and short hops from the islands.

St. Croix's winter flight map is the best it has been in decades: American flies nonstop from Miami year-round and from Charlotte and Chicago seasonally, Delta bridges Atlanta near-daily in winter — and beginning October 31, 2026, United opens Saturday nonstops from Newark, the first New York-area nonstop to the island in over 30 years.

Already in the Caribbean? Cape Air, JetBlue and Fly The Whale cover the short hop from San Juan, Puerto Rico — the island's main connecting hub — plus St. Thomas (where Seaborne's seaplane lands right in Christiansted Harbor) and Nevis. Off-season — roughly May to November, when the seasonal nonstops pause — the common route is a mainland flight into St. Thomas (STT), which keeps its nonstops all year, then the 25-minute hop to St. Croix on Cape Air or Fly The Whale. No passport for U.S. citizens, no customs on arrival, and the villa is about 25 minutes east of the airport. Prefer to skip the schedule? See charter flights, the seaplane & getting around.

Direct from the Caribbean & the other islands

Already in the Caribbean? San Juan is a short hop and the island's main connecting hub — flights from farther south and from Panama City connect here rather than flying nonstop.

Straight answers

Flights from Europe, Canada and beyond.

The honest version: nonstop service is U.S. and Caribbean only. Here is how everyone else gets here.
Q1

Is there a direct flight from Europe to St. Croix?

No. There are no nonstop flights to St. Croix (STX) from Europe. Every nonstop comes from the U.S. mainland — Miami year-round, Charlotte, Atlanta and Chicago seasonally, and Newark beginning October 31, 2026 — or from the nearby Caribbean: San Juan, St. Thomas and Nevis. From Europe you connect through a U.S. gateway (Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta or Newark) or via San Juan, then take the short hop across. You clear U.S. customs at that first mainland airport, not on the island.

Q2

Are there nonstop flights from Canada or anywhere outside the U.S.?

No. Aside from the short Caribbean hops from San Juan (Puerto Rico), St. Thomas and Nevis, St. Croix's only nonstops are from the U.S. mainland — five gateways, all in the U.S. or the neighboring Caribbean. Canadian travelers connect through a U.S. hub or San Juan.

Q3

What's the easiest way to connect from overseas?

Miami is usually the smoothest single connection — American flies MIA–STX year-round, one to two times daily. San Juan is the other natural hub, with multiple Cape Air and JetBlue hops a day, about 50 minutes across.

Q4

What's the best route in the off-season, when the seasonal nonstops aren't flying?

Fly into St. Thomas (STT), which keeps mainland nonstops all year, and take the 25-minute hop to St. Croix on Cape Air or Fly The Whale — several flights a day. Miami–St. Croix on American also runs year-round, so a Miami connection is the other reliable route from May to November.

The hard part is choosing dates.

The flights are the easy part — five gateways and one island.
