 There are only two ways to
get to the Virgin Islands; by air or by sea. Air travel is the
most popular choice because it is really the only option for
someone who wants to move here. There are no ferries or barges for
people between the US mainland and the Virgin Islands.
There are barges for cargo.

Air Travel from the US Mainland to the
Virgin Islands:
There are two major airports in the Virgin Islands;
the Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas and the Henry E. Rohlsen
Airport on St. Croix. St. John and Water Island do not have
airports and are connected to St. Thomas via ferries. Ferry
service is reliable.
Non-stop service from the US mainland to St. Thomas and St.
Croix is available, however most flights will make connections;
primarily through San Juan. (San Juan, Puerto Rico is the
principle gateway for the Caribbean.) Flights with inter-island
carriers may be necessary from San Juan to St. Thomas and St.
Croix.
