Holidays in St Kitts and Nevis - flights and transfers
How do we get to St Kitts and Nevis?
All flights depart from London Gatwick, as follows:
British Airways (scheduled flight)
British Airways operates a year-round weekly service to St Kitts on a Saturday
from London Gatwick. This flight makes a stop in Antigua in both directions
but there is no need to change aircraft or disembark.
New service
British Airways is also launching a new Tuesday service to St Kitts from
30th March 2010, which will operate until the end of October. This service
makes the same stop in Antigua as the Saturday service and again operates
from London Gatwick.
These flights can be combined to make durations of 10 or 11 nights.
Visitors to Nevis
For clients who are arriving into St Kitts but then going onward to Nevis, this service is either by public ferry, taking around 40 minutes, or by water taxi which is an exhilarating 8 minutes! The transport depends on flight arrival times therefore these choices will be discussed with you at time of booking.

Yes – there are a number of lounges at Gatwick’s North and South terminals available to pre-book from £18.50 per person.
What classes of travel are available?
British Airways
BA offers three classes, World Traveller (economy), World Traveller Plus
(Premium) and Club, when travelling on the Antigua service. First class
is also available when using the flight via Barbados.
Can I pre-book my seats?

able to view and amend your seating if required and at this stage you can
