Last month, we told you that Southwest Airlines was planning to begin nonstop service to St. Thomas. Well today, we’ve learned that those nonstop routes will originate from Baltimore and St. Thomas. These flights are scheduled to begin in February 2025. This will be the first time that a nonstop flight will originate from Baltimore (to my knowledge).
With the addition of Southwest, we will soon have nine airlines that fly direct to St. Thomas. The others are Delta, American Airlines, JetBlue, United, Spirit, Frontier, Sun Country and Cape Air. (Silver Airlines, which flew between St. Thomas and San Juan, Puerto Rio, ceased operations earlier this year.)
We have daily nonstop flights from Atlanta on Delta, from Miami on American and from San Juan on Cape Air. We have seasonal direct flights from the following cities:
- Boston
- New York
- Newark
- Philadelphia
- Washington, DC
- Charlotte
- Chicago
- Minneapolis
- Orlando
- Ft. Lauderdale
- Houston
- Dallas
Visitors to St. John must fly in and out of St. Thomas. The airport code is STT. From the airport, travelers must ferry over to St. Thomas from either Red Hook (30 minute taxi ride), Crown Bay (five-minute taxi ride), or Charlotte Amalie (10-minute taxi ride). The ferry rides take between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the port.
