Travelers book flights to St. Lucia for a relaxing getaway on the volcanic island. Second only to bananas, tourism is the single most important revenue generator for St. Lucia. Situated in the Caribbean -- north of the islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, northwest of Barbados and south of Martinique – St. Lucia remains a top spot for vacationers all year-round.

Thanks to its location in the Caribbean, vacationers booking St Lucia
flights and hotel accommodations are welcomed on the island by ideal
weather and breathtaking scenery. Rainforests, volcanic mountains, and
pristine beaches are all within eye sight from many of the St. Lucia
resorts. Combine all of the St. Lucia sites with the 150,000 friendly
St. Lucia citizens, and you’ll be booking a St. Lucia flight again for
next year.
The best time to visit St. Lucia is between November and May. The ARC –
Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, a major yacht event in November and the
Jazz Festival takes place on Pigeon Island in May. The Carnival takes
place in July. Travelers considering flights to Saint Lucia during this
time must do so months in advance to get good rates, and hotels and
destination spots book up fast.

St. Lucia has two airports: Hewanorra International Airport at Vieux Fort and Vigie Airport near Castries. It is possible to travel between the airports by helicopter with St. Lucia Helicopters (also an option for seeing the island).
The minivan bus service is how the St Lucians get around. They run
regularly and are a reasonable way of getting around the island.
Taxis are plentiful. Negotiate the fare before departing.
