I was checking on flights to VG in September - and you can get a flight for $650 return via YYZ to ATL to STT which is not bad - we usually pay $800

We booked in Oct 2019 for June 2020 flight to IAD to STT on UA.
Canceled the June flights and got 100% vouchers.
Rebooked same flights for Jan 2021 and we saved about 30%.

We are on the opposite end of the state in Kingsport. Tricities to ATL to STT. Flights were over $600 but that’s the norm flying out of TRI. Knoxville and Asheville were a little less but not enough to justify the drive and airport parking. I purchased 1 of our 4 tickets using SkyMiles and the SkyMiles price was lower than usual. We’ve been visiting St John for 22 years. Fares have definitely increased since Irma.

Y'all had me curious. I fly out of Charlotte and looked at 11/14 to 11/21 (our hopeful dates). Normally the direct CLT-SST is around $650 per. There are obviously fewer options and the price is $811 per with a stop in Miami going out and direct coming back.
Go Irish!! Bill

That is a big issue: far fewer flight options. The only flight itineraries that would get us to Beef Island in one day (before dark) were very expensive. At this point, it looks like we will need to do an overnight, which makes Southwest a possibility. Their schedule is only published six months out, so we'll wait. Fewer seats too. Many airlines are blocking the middle seats. Although, I suspect that practice will end by November.

ndfaninnc, I looked at flying out of CLT as well. It's about a 3 hour drive for us. The CLT - MIA - STT flight for out dates was $505 when I started looking a couple months ago. The same flight is $688 now. The nonstop is actually cheaper at $684 . Delta out of Asheville has the lowest rates I've seen for this area.

Hey Rebecca,
Maybe Instead of driving to CLT check out IAD. United has a direct flight IAD to STT for $440.
