There are two airports in St Lucia, and it’s important to know which one you’re flying in to or you could be stuck with an expensive taxi ride to your hotel. UVF, or Hewanorra International, is the International Airport with the longer runway that all long haul flights will arrive at. It takes 90 minutes on twisty, potholed roads to drive to a lot of the tourist hotels around Rodney Bay and the Castries area. SLU, or George F.L. Charles, is the local airport, very close to Castries, and is for passengers arriving from Caribbean destinations. Puerto Rico seems to be a major hub for a lot of US airlines, and you can get a direct flight from Puerto Rico to St Lucia SLU on American Eagle. Even if it adds a stop or adds price, it might be worth it due to the cost and time of getting a taxi from the international airport.

If you’re staying around the Soufriere area, however, then the international airport is just as good as the local airport in Castries.
