UK to St. Kitts: BA Flights from London Gatwick to SKB (Direct)
British Airways flies direct from London Gatwick (LGW) to Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) in St. Kitts. For UK travellers heading to Nevis, this is the fastest route in.
Flight basics
- Route: London Gatwick (LGW) → St. Kitts (SKB), with most services routing via Antigua (ANU).
- Aircraft: Boeing 777-200.
- Flight time: Approximately 9 hours UK → SKB.
- Frequency: Typically 2 services per week through the winter season; check BA for current schedule.
The Gatwick service stops in Antigua (ANU) on the outbound and the return; you stay on the aircraft for the short hop over to SKB. Total UK→SKB time, including the ANU stop, is around 9 hours.
Onward to Nevis
From SKB, the fastest onward journey is a private transfer that combines a 25–30 minute drive across St. Kitts with a 6–15 minute private water taxi to Nevis. We meet you as you exit customs, handle your luggage, and take you door-to-door in 45–60 minutes.
