Flying American Airlines to St. Kitts? How to Get from SKB Airport to Nevis
If you are planning a winter escape to Nevis, there is some good news for your travel plans. American Airlines is expanding its nonstop service between Miami and St. Kitts for the winter season, giving US travellers more ways to reach the twin-island nation. If Nevis is where you are headed, here is what the extra flights mean for you — and how Book Nevis handles the final part of the journey across the channel.
More Miami–St. Kitts flights for winter travel
American Airlines has confirmed that it will operate two daily flights between Miami (MIA) and St. Kitts (SKB) from December 17, 2026 through April 5, 2027, increasing its usual daily service during the peak winter season.
More frequency means more flexibility when you build your itinerary, and a better chance of an arrival time that pairs well with a smooth onward transfer to Nevis. Airline schedules can change, so it is always worth confirming current flight times directly with American Airlines when you book.
Staying on Nevis? Your journey continues after SKB
One detail catches some first-time visitors by surprise: Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport is on St. Kitts, not Nevis. Nevis is a separate island just across a short channel. So if you are staying at a Nevis hotel or villa, you still need an onward transfer once you land at SKB. It is a straightforward crossing when it is arranged ahead of time — and it is the part we look after every day.
How the St. Kitts Airport to Nevis transfer works
With Book Nevis, the whole crossing is booked as one coordinated private transfer, so you are not trying to piece together each leg after a long day of flying. Here is how it flows:
- Meet-and-greet after customs at SKB. Once you clear customs and step outside the terminal, look for your Book Nevis sign.
- Road transfer to the water taxi pier. A short, comfortable drive takes you to the departure point on St. Kitts.
- Private water taxi across to Nevis. You cross the channel on your own schedule rather than a fixed ferry timetable.
- Onward Nevis taxi to your door. A local driver takes you the final stretch to your hotel, villa, or accommodation.
Because we coordinate all of it, you can step off the plane and simply follow the plan. If you would like to see the crossing in more detail, our Nevis arrival guide walks through what to expect.
Popular Nevis stays we transfer to
Most of our guests are heading to a specific hotel or villa, and we transfer to all of them. Popular Nevis destinations include the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, Montpelier Nevis, The Hermitage, Golden Rock, Hamilton Beach Villas, Paradise Beach, Mount Nevis Hotel, and private villas across the island. You can browse them all on our Nevis hotels and villas pages.
Splitting your trip between the two islands? We also serve St. Kitts stays, including the St. Kitts Marriott Resort and the Park Hyatt St. Kitts.
Returning to SKB for your flight home
When it is time to fly home, the journey simply runs in reverse: a Nevis taxi, the water taxi back across the channel, and a drive to SKB in good time for check-in. Because there are a few moving parts, we do not apply one fixed pickup time to everyone. Instead, Book Nevis works out your recommended departure pickup from your flight time and the route from your accommodation, so you reach the airport with a comfortable margin and no last-minute rush.
