• General air travel (where to fly into, etc; see below)

• American Airlines discount (10%)

Since St. John does not have its own airport, most people fly into St. Thomas (STT) and take a ferry to St. John (see below for more info).

We'll be flying down the Thursday before and will be in St. John Fri-Fri (see Attendees page for when people are coming). 

At least three major US airlines fly into STT: American, US Airways, and Delta.  We've arranged for a 10% wedding group discount on American (see below). 

American seems to offer the most direct flights: 5 from NYC and 11 from Puerto Rico daily, according to Frommer's.  I believe US Airways has also recently expanded their flights to STT. 

 
Flying into other islands is possible, since the British Virgin islands are within short boat ride, but more flights from the US go to St. Thomas than any of the other islands.
