The airport can be just as bad. On our recent arrival from St Martin the C & I process took twice as long as the flight.

tradewinds said: Don't even try it on a Sunday when they're all coming back from shopping on St. Thomas with their mountains of Pampers and toilet paper. There's no decent toilet paper on Tortola. Reminds me of what was available in the sixties in Britain. Ouch!

I remember someone mentioning that the RTFF may get you there faster but the C&I is usually longer because of the large number of people getting off the big boats.
We had a local British lawyer (Barrister?) offer to give us a ride to our base - he seemed to have a little game going with C&I - he'd abuse his form as much as he thought he could get away with and then present it to the official with a straight face. The official looked to the heavens, popped a quick grin and waved him by.
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
