We understand....next BVI sailing vacation is # 17.
For many years, we flew from Calif, or Hawaii, to SJU....RON'd at the on site airport hotel, then CAPE AIR TO BEEF ISLAND.
Cape Air was always on time, but has gotten very expensive, the airport hotel has become a dump, the airport terminal area was underconstruction.
This trip, we are LAX , MIA, STT ( st thomas ) and ferry to Road Town.
We are both pilots, me professionally, and Erica private.
The STT ferry , saves us about $ 1400.00, over flying cape air, and we RON at a very nice hotel in St. Thomas.
As to other airlines, no experience in recent years, but seemed like a lot of late flights and cancelled flights. Not sure what it will be like in 2019.
