How long does the helicopter take from Antigua to St Barts?
About 50 minutes, from V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU) to Gustaf III Airport (SBH). You see the takeoff time and estimated arrival as soon as you pick your slot.
Can a family or a group of five fly together?
Yes, up to five passengers in total. The whole helicopter is yours, so the price stays the same whether you travel alone or as five.
I arrive on a long-haul flight with large suitcases. Will they fit?
Room on board is measured in weight and volume, and you see it as you book: declare your bags by category and two gauges show the space left. Once they are full, the extra pieces can follow on a dedicated baggage flight, on the same invoice.
What if my long-haul flight lands late in Antigua?
Travel with peace of mind by choosing a helicopter slot with a comfortable margin, since long-haul flights can run late. Share your flight number and we check the scheduled landing time, then tell you if the connection looks too tight; this is not a guaranteed tracking service. If the plane reaches Antigua too late for your slot, the booking counts as a no-show and the cancellation terms apply.
How far ahead should I book from Antigua?
Online booking stays open until 24 hours before departure. Slots are shown in real time, so booking as soon as your arrival date is set leaves you the widest choice.
Can I book my return to Antigua?
Yes, right from the first screen: choose "Round trip", then pick one slot to St Barts and another for the return to Antigua.
