Cheap Flights To Tortola, British Virgin Islands

With only one airport (code EIS, the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport on Beef Island just a few minutes from Road Town), and that with few flights in and out, cheap flights to Tortola require some serious advance planning. You won't find a direct flight from the United States, Canada, Europe, Britain, or South America to Tortola; every flight to Beef Island must go through Caribbean airports on other islands, most frequently Puerto Rico, but also St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Kitts, or St. Martin. 

Most flights in from Puerto Rico use American Eagle, Air SunShine, and Cape Air. You may be able to find cheaper flights from time to time from other airlines or from special charters.
