Many flights are scheduled for arrival in close proximity, which means it can get very busy, especially at baggage reclaim. If you haven’t already planned transport to your hotel, there is a selection of taxis lining up directly outside arrivals. It is advisable to agree a price before setting off. Regular bus services run to Vieux-Fort, stopping on the main road across from the airport.

Hewanorra Airport is located 4km outside Vieux-Fort on the south of St Lucia and 56km from capital city of Castries. Transfers up to northern holiday resorts can take approximately an hour by road in good traffic conditions.

Airport opening times are between 06:00-23:00hours. Check-in usually opens 3 hours before travel, so make sure you arrive in plenty of time to check in your luggage and pass through security. Remember all liquids over 100ml or sharp objects must be packed in your hold luggage. For more information on your baggage allowances and check-in requirements read through our airline information page.

Once entering departures, keep an eye on flight monitors for boarding times as announcements may not be made. Facilities include a snack bar for food and drink and last minute duty-free shopping can be purchased before boarding.
