Traveling by Plane in St. Lucia

The location of St. Lucia's two airports can be a cause of confusion for some travelers. Sometimes booking a more convenient flight ends up placing travelers on the opposite side of the island from their accommodations.

Fortunately, St. Lucia Helicopters has turned this slight disadvantage into an invitation to an adventure unlike any you've ever experienced before.

St. Lucia's visitors can fly into either the Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) or the George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU) and then take a helicopter to one of two locations: the Jalousie Plantation, which has its own helicopter pad, or across the island to the alternate airport.

All of these helicopter flights take approximately 10 minutes and cost between $145(USD) and $155(USD) per person.  The helicopters seat six, though children under the age of two may sit on another passanger's lap and travel free of cost.  Flights are availble on demand, and can be arranged upon your arrival, but are available only during day light hours.  For the additional $10(USD), traveler's flying between the two major airports can opt for a more scenic route that goes a few minutes out of the way to pass by St. Lucia's famous Pitons.  St. Lucia Helicopters also offers chartered tours for travelers who want to see the island from above.

You can contact St. Lucia Helicopters by calling 758-435-6950.

Whether you want to see the sights or simply reach your final destination more quickly, consider a helicopter ride over St. Lucia.  It is a one-of-a-kind experience that you won't soon forget.
