If you are flying to STT, catching a taxi, then a ferry you are already expending in the area of +/-$100 to use STT as your transportation hub. When you factor in the lost vacation time. Time where many are spending great sums for every minute in the BVI. The costs to connect through STT or SJU are far greater. Many others on this forum post about spending the first and/or last night on St. Thomas as some expense. Direct jet service to the US mainland from the East Coast will increase the value of every villa in the BVI and the rental rates of every villa in the BVI. Without a competitive sustainable fix to ingress and egress to the BVI, property values and revenues will wither.
