There are check-in desks for LIAT, SVG Air – St
Lucia Ltd (Air Taxi), American Eagle/American Airlines and Caribbean
Star. There is a small restaurant/bar – La Vigie - a branch of the
First National Bank, washrooms, telephones, a book shop, and Tambou,
the Duty Free shop. Vigie Beach is across the road so you can enjoy
a drink or snack at one of the beach shacks before departure. For
arriving passengers there are several car hire booths.
Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) is the ‘long haul' airport.
Located right at the southern end of the island, close to the town
of Vieux Fort , it is about an hour south of Castries . Only Hewanorra
can take wide-bodied aircraft, so if you are on a transatlantic
flight or arriving from the eastern seaboard of North America ,
you will fly into here. It is not that convenient for the hotels
in the north of the island, but if you are staying near Soufrière
then it is probably better to fly into this airport if you can.
