| ST. CROIX, U.S. Virgin Islands (March 17, 2023) – Travelers seeking to experience “a vibe like no other” on St. Croix, the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, now have increased options for getting there from the mainland United States, and better yet, improved connection options. “We welcome the operation of twice daily American St. Croix service, including flights which arrive in both the afternoon and evening, and depart St. Croix early morning and in the afternoon,” said Vicki Locke, Director of Sales and Marketing of The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort. “This facilitates convenient inbound and outbound connections to and from a vast number of U.S. cities, including the important west coast – a most welcome development and positive support for bringing guests to the destination,” she added. The “Big Island,” as it is known, offers endless opportunities for adventure, culinary experiences, historical immersion, and noteworthy options for quintessential Caribbean accommodations, such as The Buccaneer where visitors can experience the unique blend of timeless elegance, historic charm and understated luxury. American will serve St. Croix’s Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) from Miami (MIA) with twice daily flights through the summer peak, before scaling back to daily service in the fall. However, in early November, twice daily flights resume to meet the holiday demand, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Weekly Saturday service is available for visitors originating in or transiting through Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT) throughout the year with some expected reductions in the fall. Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines provides convenient flights five days per week through early April from Atlanta, with weekly Saturday service scheduled from mid-April through the summer as well as certain periods in the fall. Daily flights will be available to meet the high travel demand from mid-December 2023 to early January 2024. Providing service out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida (FLL), Spirit Airlines offers daily nonstop service to St. Croix.
