Cyril E. King Airport

Cyril E. King Airport is on Lindbergh Bay, about 2 miles (3 km) west of downtown Charlotte Amalie, so the drive usually takes around 10 minutes. Taxis and pre-booked cars wait outside the terminal. The waterfront, Frenchtown and the Crown Bay cruise pier are all close to the airport, while the Havensight cruise pier is on the east side of the harbor.

Yes. Cyril E. King Airport, code STT, is the only commercial airport on St. Thomas, so travelers call it St. Thomas airport or STT Airport. It was known as Harry S. Truman Airport until 1984, when it was renamed for Cyril E. King, a former governor of the US Virgin Islands. St. Croix has its own airport, Henry E. Rohlsen (STX).

There is no airport on St. John, so you fly into St. Thomas and cross by boat. Most travelers take a taxi or pre-booked car to Red Hook on the East End, about 30 to 45 minutes from the airport, and catch the passenger ferry or car barge to Cruz Bay. Ferries also leave from Crown Bay, and a water taxi has a desk in baggage claim.

US citizens flying from the US mainland or Puerto Rico do not need a passport, because the US Virgin Islands is a US territory: a REAL ID-compliant photo ID is enough. International visitors need a passport and, depending on nationality, an ESTA or a US visa. When you fly back to the mainland, you pass a US Customs check, so carry proof of citizenship.

The US Virgin Islands is outside the US customs territory, so flights to the mainland go through a US Customs and Border Protection check before security screening. Officers ask about citizenship and goods you are carrying, and some fresh fruit, plants and meat are restricted. Allow extra time: local guides suggest arriving about three hours before departure, more at busy times.

Cyril E. King Airport has one two-story terminal with 11 gates. Flights to the US mainland and Puerto Rico use the main departure area, and smaller lounges, including commuter and inter-island gates 10 and 11, serve St. Croix and international flights. Every arriving passenger exits through the same baggage claim area, so there is no terminal to choose.

American Airlines flies the most passengers, with routes to Miami, Charlotte, Dallas/Fort Worth, Philadelphia and New York JFK. Delta flies to Atlanta, United to Newark, Houston and Washington Dulles, and Southwest, JetBlue, Sun Country and Breeze add routes. Cape Air, VI Airlink, Tradewind Aviation and other commuter airlines link St. Thomas with St. Croix, San Juan, Tortola and St. Barths.

Yes. Licensed taxis wait outside the terminal for arriving flights, and many are vans that carry passengers for several destinations. Rates are set by the Virgin Islands Taxicab Commission, so confirm the fare before you ride. Official taxis have a dome light and "TP" on the license plate; unmarked cars are not licensed and may charge unapproved rates.

Yes. Traffic in the US Virgin Islands keeps to the left side of the road, even though most cars are American, left-hand-drive models. Roads on St. Thomas are often narrow, steep and winding. Avis, Budget, Hertz and Enterprise rent cars at the airport, and many visitors who prefer not to drive use taxis or a pre-booked car instead.

No. The terminal is open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and airline counters, customs and security may close earlier. Through December 31, 2026, the runway also closes every night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for pavement work, so late flights may be rescheduled. Check your airline's times before you travel.

The Virgin Islands Port Authority runs public parking at the airport, including a three-level garage named for Dale A. Gregory that opened in 2025. Parking is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and you pay the cashier on site. Most debit and credit cards are accepted, but not American Express or Discover.

St. Thomas is on Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year and does not use daylight saving time. In winter it is one hour ahead of New York; from March to November, when the mainland's East Coast moves its clocks forward, St. Thomas shows the same time as New York. The US Virgin Islands uses the US dollar.

Travelers returning to the mainland have a larger duty-free allowance than from most destinations, including more alcohol when part of it is made in the US Virgin Islands. Fresh fruit, vegetables, plants and fresh meat may be restricted or confiscated at the customs check, while commercially packaged foods, sealed sauces, coffee and local seasonings are usually allowed.
