In our 6 visits to VG over the years, I think we have gone 6 different ways. This past April, we flew into STT, spent the afternoon and night there and took the ferry to VG the following day. Originally scheduled to take Speedy's which would have gotten us to VG by 11AM, but due to Irma, Speedys was not running on Thursdays, so we took Road Town Fast Ferry to Tortola and then Speedys to VG and we still got to VG in time for lunch. I despise the San Juan airport and found flying into STT to be a much better alternative for us coming out of Cleveland. Our next trip down will most likely be a repeat of this past April, sans Irma hopefully! We enjoyed the afternoon and stay on STT and felt this was a much more relaxed way to travel. We have had too many flights delayed, canceled and changed by Cape Air and Air Sunshine in the past that this past schedule seemed to be more relaxed and enjoyable.

Airport opening is too far into the future for planning purposes but people are either flying to beef from SJU or landing in STT and ferrying over via road town or doing the Thursday and Saturday speedy's run (not operating this month) to VG. By next April virtually everything should be back to normal - several of Speedy's boats were damaged during the hurricane so repairing those will change things a lot.
