Checking flight prices for the end of November, on the off chance we are allowed in. Have been tracking flights to EIS for some time, so just compared STT. American, same date, leaving Memphis on same early morning flight: one way is $20 cheaper to EIS! That's before taxis and a ferry. And if we get stuck, that's on American.
If you're monitoring flights, don't assume Tortola is more expensive!

Don't forget that the flight to STT is usually direct whereas there is a stop for EIS and transfer to another plane.

Jason,
We used to book separate tickets to EIS before airlines started doing code share.
Right now, Best I could get it down to is $719 by booking separate, Jet Blue and InterC.
That's extra $269 p/p to get into EIS vs STT. Figure $150 pp for ferry and taxi. That might be worth it.

For years we flew CLT to STT. It was typically around $1200 for the two of us. A great direct flight and then jump on VI Airlink (I think $650 for two) to get to Anegada. But my buddy @bailau suggested looking into going through SJU. That route saves us about $400-500 RT and we still arrive on Anegada at about the same time. So now the route is CTL-SJU-EIS-NGD. I do as Jason. I purchase all separately and so far no issues. Have used the ferries many times. Just not a big fan.
Go Irish!!

Thorsten, is that first class? On Google flights I'm seeing Miami to EIS on American, one ticket, for $243 including bag, in mid November.

We can get Toronto to San Juan direct for Canadian $592 in the Fall. Nothing direct to STT.

The dates we are considering are Nov 14-25. CLT-STT via AA direct then ViAirlink to NGD coach is $1869 for two. CLT-SJU via AA direct then InterCarribean to EIS then ViAirlink to NGD is $1494. With either route and no issues we leave Charlotte at the same time and arrive on Anegada at the same time. $375 saving plus I don't have to deal with STT.
