U.S. Virgin Islands

The US Virgin Islands is a US territory, so US citizens need no passport, just a REAL ID-compliant photo ID, flying directly from the mainland or Puerto Rico. One real difference from Puerto Rico: the return flight to the mainland does clear US Customs. St. Thomas (Cyril E. King, STT) and St. Croix (Henry E. Rohlsen, STX) are the main gateways. Hogani Jets coordinates USVI charters from $8,500+ one way.

The US Virgin Islands offers a genuine Caribbean setting with the entry simplicity of a domestic US trip, no passport, no foreign customs on arrival. For a group or family, a private charter turns what's already an easy destination into a same-day door-to-door trip, landing directly on St. Thomas or St. Croix rather than connecting through San Juan.

Destination	Best For
St. Thomas	The main gateway; Charlotte Amalie, Magens Bay, and the widest resort selection
St. Croix	A quieter island with Christiansted and Frederiksted, rum distilleries, and diving
St. John	Mostly national park; reached by ferry from St. Thomas, no commercial airport of its own

Most East Coast cities reach St. Thomas or St. Croix in 3 to 4 hours nonstop. Both islands have full-length runways handling light jets through heavy jets directly. St. John has no airport; visitors connect by ferry from St. Thomas.

Hogani Jets coordinates each charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

Do I need a passport for the US Virgin Islands?

No, for US citizens flying directly from the US mainland or Puerto Rico. A REAL ID-compliant photo ID is sufficient. Note that the return flight to the mainland does clear US Customs, unlike a return from Puerto Rico.

How long is a private jet flight to the USVI?

Roughly 3 to 4 hours nonstop from most East Coast departure cities.

Which island should I fly into, St. Thomas or St. Croix?

St. Thomas is the more common gateway with the widest resort selection; St. Croix is quieter and less developed. Both have full-length runways.

How do I get to St. John?

St. John has no airport. Fly into St. Thomas and connect by ferry, a short and frequent crossing.
