St. Lucia Airport Information
St. Lucia has two airports: Hewanorra Airport in Vieux Fort (UVF) and George Charles (Vigie) Airport (SLU) near Castries. In general, international flights land at Hewanorra while flights from within the Caribbean arrive at Vigie. As far as their locations are concerned, Hewanorra is in a more isolated part of the island, while Vigie is closer to the main tourist areas. Most visitors will find it more convenient to fly into Vigie.
Visitors from New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Charlotte, Toronto, and Montreal may be able to fly direct (depending on the day of the week); otherwise you'll likely have a connection in Miami, Barbados or Puerto Rico.
To gain entry to the island, U.S. and Canadian citizens need proof of citizenship. Other visitors need a passport. Note that starting December 31, 2006, US citizens will need a passport for re-entry to the US from the Caribbean and Mexico.
Non-nationals are required to pay a departure tax of EC $54 (US $21) per person when leaving St. Lucia. Credit cards are not accepted.
