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!

How long are the journeys?

The flight time can vary depending on the route but is generally between 8.5 – 10.5 hours.

Could we have access to airport lounge facilities?

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?

British Airways
BA recently launched a new seating policy. This means that we are no longer able to pre book your seats when you book your holiday, however once we have ticketed your booking (approximately 6 weeks prior to travel) you may pay a fee to select your seats.

The charge for this service is £20 per person per sector for general seats in the World Traveller and £25 per person per sector for World Traveller Plus, or £60 per person per sector for seats in Club World. Exit row seats are also available to pre book between 10 and 4 days prior to departure for £50 per person per sector in World Traveller and World Traveller Plus. We will send you full information about this new pre paid seating policy with your confirmation invoice.

All customers can select any remaining available seats, free of charge, once check-in opens at 24 hours before their flight. The earliest that any passenger can check-in is 24 hours before departure. All customers eligible to use online check-in that have not already pre-assigned their seat should be encouraged to check-in as early as possible either via online check-in on www.ba.com or at the airport, so that they have the best choice of all remaining available seats. The airports will hold no seats back.

Please note that neither prepaid seating or free seating requests can be guaranteed by the airline, as these may need to be changed for operational, safety or security reasons, even after boarding the aircraft. In the event that BA needs to change a customer’s seat they will endeavour to seat them in a suitable alternative (e.g. window for window, aisle for aisle).
