Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) on St. Kitts is the main long-haul airport for St. Kitts and Nevis, and the usual international gateway for Nevis. Nonstop flights reach SKB from the USA and Canada, and British Airways flies from London via Antigua. Guests heading to Nevis then continue from SKB by road and boat, unless their itinerary ends at Nevis’s own airport (NEV).

From the United States
Miami is the year-round mainstay, and American adds a second daily flight over the peak winter weeks. In winter New York has the widest choice, with American, Delta and JetBlue all flying nonstop from JFK. Charlotte, Newark and Atlanta each have a seasonal Saturday flight. More on American Airlines flights to St. Kitts.
From Canada
Air Canada flies nonstop from Toronto (YYZ) once a week through the winter season. There is no direct service from Montréal (YUL) — travellers starting in Montréal reach St. Kitts on a connecting itinerary, most commonly via Toronto.
From the United Kingdom
British Airways operates from London Gatwick (LGW) to St. Kitts via Antigua (ANU) on a Boeing 777, twice a week. The aircraft stops in Antigua for approximately one hour, and passengers continuing to St. Kitts remain onboard the same aircraft throughout the stop — there is no flight connection or change of aircraft to make. Total journey time is around 10½ to 11 hours. UK travel notes & tips.
From the Caribbean
Regional flights link SKB with nearby hubs such as Antigua (ANU), Sint Maarten (SXM) and San Juan (SJU). Regional routes and carriers change often, so check the current options with the airline.
Once you land at SKB
For most Nevis hotels and villas, the Book Nevis journey from SKB works like this:
- SKB Airport — your driver meets you as you exit the customs area, holding a Book Nevis sign.
- Private vehicle across St. Kitts to Reggae Beach — around 25–30 minutes.
- Private water taxi to Oualie Pier, Nevis — around 6–10 minutes on the water.
- Onward vehicle to your hotel or villa, where needed — the time depends on where you are staying.
There are two exceptions. Oualie Beach Resort guests can land at the resort’s own pier, and Four Seasons guests can choose a direct-to-pier route by boat from Majors Bay. For the full comparison of private transfers, scheduled water taxis, the ferry and flying into NEV, see How to Get to Nevis.
