Traveling to St Thomas/St John on a week day

Post by allierocky »

We have always travel to St John Sat- Sat but decided to stay longer and travel Wednesday to Thursday in April. Is it generally less busy at the airport, ferries when traveling during the week? I appreciate any input !

We have found mid-week to be less busy at the airport.

We usually arrive on Saturday and leave Tuesday/Wednesday. We travel early November - early April may be busier, but not as bad as a weekend.

Airport seemed less busy, traffic to get to/from Red Hook was busier because of people working, "rush hour". Depending on timing ferries can be busy due to school kids and work hours.

Absolutely less busy. We never travel weekends anymore. Also connected thru San Juan and flew to st t on the little cessnea. We thought that was even less hectic. Only 6 of us arriving at the airport at the same time.

Last year we traveled Wednesday to the next Thursday and it was awesome! So much easier. No lines at the airline or customs.

Thank you everyone for your input. It sounds like traveling during the week is better:) Can't wait to get back to the island in April.
