One reason that The BVI has remained one of 'Nature's Little Secrets' is that there are no direct flights from the USA, Canada, Europe or South America to our main airport - the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (EIS) which is located on Beef Island, a cay that is linked to Tortola by the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge.
All flights must connect through another Caribbean airport such as San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Kitts or St. Maarten/St. Martin.
Your travel agent or international airline will be able to assist booking flights. If you plan to make your own reservations on the internet, remember that you will have to request flights to Tortola or type the airport code which is EIS.
