Clear blue bays, white-sand beaches and warm sun all winter make the US Virgin Islands one of the easiest Caribbean trips you can take. You don’t need a passport, the currency is the US dollar, and plenty of mainland cities have nonstop routes. Most flights from USA to US Virgin Islands land on St. Thomas or St. Croix, and St. John is a short ferry ride from St. Thomas. Departure cities range from New York and Miami to Atlanta and Chicago. FaresMatch lets you compare airlines, routes and fares in one search, so you can find a flight that fits your dates and budget without opening a dozen tabs.
Travellers can also explore more flight destinations and compare available routes for their next trip.
Find Cheap Flights from the US to US Virgin Islands
Cheap flights to US Virgin Islands from USA are out there, but you would not find them by checking one airline. Prices change with the route, the day you fly and how full the plane is. On FaresMatch you see live fares from different airlines side by side, so it is easy to spot the best deal.
You can also use our low-fare calendar to compare airfares across different travel dates and find a suitable option. It is also worth checking more than one departure airport. If you live near New York, compare JFK and Newark. In the Washington area, look at Dulles and Baltimore too.
Compare one-way and round-trip fares as well. Sometimes two one-way tickets on different airlines are cheaper, especially if you are flying into St. Thomas and home from St. Croix. Before you choose, check what is in the fare. Some basic fares don’t include a carry-on, checked bag or seat choice, and those extras add up fast on a beach trip. We show baggage and fare rules before you pay, so you know the real cost upfront.
Which Airlines Fly from the US to US Virgin Islands?

Which airport should I choose for St. Thomas or St. Croix?
Fly into Cyril E. King (STT) for St. Thomas and St. John, and Henry E. Rohlsen (STX) for St. Croix. Moving between islands means an extra short flight or ferry, so it is best to land on the island where you are staying.
Do US citizens need a passport to visit US Virgin Islands?
No. The US Virgin Islands is a US territory, so US citizens can travel with a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a REAL ID-compliant driver’s licence. Bring proof of citizenship anyway, because you will go through US Customs before your flight home to the mainland.
