My fantasy trip would be to buy a boat in Canada and starting from Canada, boat to the Caribbean Ocean. This trip is a fantasy because I believe that I will never have the time to take this trip. Instead of boating from Canada, on my dream vacation I plan to fly from Canada to the BVI and then when in the BVI, I plan to rent a boat and explore the islands, just my husband and I.
There are no direct flights from the USA, Canada, Europe or South America to the main airport on the BVI- the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (EIS), located in Tortola. All flights connect through other Caribbean airports on islands such as Puerto Rico, and Antigua,. When making reservations online, flights are requested to Tortola with at least one stop in one of these airports. Flights to British Virgin Islands
The most direct way to arrive to the BVI is via San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). American Airlines and Continental Airlines fly into San Juan International Airport. You fly into Puerto Rico and then a 35 minute fight takes you to the Tortola airport. Once at the airport, taxis are available to take you to the charter company (to start the cruise). Flight Information

On average, the total trip time was about 12.5 hours. When flying from Toronto, the Continental and American Airlines stopped in the US in airports such as Miami, New York, Huston or Chicago and then stopped in Puerto Rico before arriving at Tortola. An alternative method, recommended to travellers from Canada was to travel from Toronto to the airport in St. John's, Antigua (ANU), which was a one stop flight costing on average $898.98 per person. And then take a connecting flight to Tortola on LIAT, or private charter flight. Information for private airline charter companies is listed under Inter-Island Aviation section.

Decisions regarding the flight itinerary and airfare can wait until the vacation date comes closer. The main factor that will influence the decision is the cost. I am not too concerned about the number of stops or the total travel time.
