Get a Great Deal on Flights to St Lucia
From the sugar-sand beaches of Pigeon Island in the north to the sculpted peaks of the Pitons in the south, St Lucia packs in such a wonderland of natural features that it’s often hailed as the most beautiful of all Caribbean escapes. There are volcanos that host dramatic roadways ringing around their craters. There are crashing waterfalls in lonely pools shrouded by parrot-packed jungles and blooming sausage trees. There are soaring coastal mountains, rising from cobalt-blue seas to pierce the clouds like daggers of rock.
Towns bustle with the buzz of Caribbean life, from uber-romantic Soufriere with its bobbing yachts and rum shacks, to Castries and its markets and cruise terminals. An abundance of flights to St Lucia makes this paradise readily accessible from the UK, too, dropping you down between the jungles and hot springs, the coves and cave restaurants in less than 8.5 hours when going direct.

Things You Need to Know About Flights to St Lucia
This spectacular island is only 8 hours and 30 minutes from the UK and you can get direct flights to St Lucia from London. International flights are served by the Hewanorra International Airport in the south of Saint Lucia whilst inter island flights can be taken from the George F.L. Charles Airport in the north of Saint Lucia. If you need to travel from one airport to the other you can fly or the scenic hour and a half drive through lush rainforest is also a lovely way to see the island.
St Lucia has two international airports. There’s the George FL Charles Airport close to the yacht marina of Castries. And then there’s slightly larger Hewanorra International Airport right on the south tip of the island. The first is the best arrival point if you’re keen to hit the luxuriant resorts that string along the sands of Pigeon Point. The second is better if you’ve got hiking expeditions up the Pitons and encounters with smoke-spurting volcanos on the menu. Travellers with a UK passport don’t need to apply for a visa to enter St Lucia, but it is necessary to have at least six months’ validity on your document when you arrive.
Best Time to Visit St Lucia
To catch the best weather – the calmest seas, the driest days – you’ll want to be sure to book those St Lucia flights for between December and April. That’s when precipitation levels fall to a minimum and the temperatures hover in the high 20s – perfect for sunbathing, beachcombing and climbing the Gros Piton. Unfortunately, that’s also the busiest time of all in the whole of the West Indies, which means you’ll pay extra for rooms and car rentals. To dodge soaring rates, it might be worth considering heading over in months like May or June. They might have a little more rain, but they are long before the hurricanes of autumn arrive, and there are far fewer people competing for the best hotels and towel space on the sands.
