A New Way to Fly to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands This Winter

By: Dana Niland - October 3, 2024

The beaches, the history , the island hopping. There’s nowhere quite like the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands — a must-visit whether you’re using it as a jumping-off point for the rest of the BVI or planning an extended stay.

And it’s about to get a whole lot easier — and more glamorous — to visit.

Leading luxury airline Tradewind Aviation is set to kick off its first-ever flights between San Juan and Tortola, with the first flights planned for Nov. 21.

Tradewind will be flying the route from Nov. 21 through April 21, 2025. The carrier is also continuing its popular service between San Juan and Virgin Gorda, another sought-after spot in the British Virgin Islands.

It’s the newest destination of Tradewind’s growing portfolio of buzzing islands like St Barth and Anguilla.
