Are you flying to St. Barts soon?

Then welcome to the guide that’s going to become your new best friend! Your journey back home, to the sunny sandline where the Caribbean sea gently kisses the shore, begins the moment you step off the plane at the Gustaf III Airport and breathe in the breezy air. Here’s everything you need to know before flying to St. Barts, and quick tips and tricks to make both your arrival and departure truly blissful affairs.

St. Barts Airport: a wonder of many names

The Gustaf III Airport, shortened as SBH, is a wonder of many names. Also known plainly as the St. Barts Airport or the Saint Barthélemy Airport, both allusive to the island; the St. Jean Airport, due to its location right next to the Baie de St. Jean, and the Rémy de Haenens Airport, after the famous French artist. Despite its small size, this airport features one of the most spectacular runways in the world, with planes descending directly over a scenic beach before touching down – the perfect way to set the mood for a holiday in the heart of Caribbean delight.

Comfort and indulgence at the Gustaf III Airport

Within the airport, you will find everything to either kickstart your vacation home away from home on the highest note or wrap it all up with a big, bright golden ribbon. With a chic open-air check-in area, with your favorite airline waiting for you right as you step in, to a lounge from which you can engage in some entertaining plane-spotting and chill while reminiscing on the wonderful time you had while in sunny St. Barts. There are also, of course, gift shops to get the perfect trinket to take back home and give to your friends and family, stellar VIP service with a five-star rating, and a delicious restaurant to enjoy everything ranging from a light snack to a full-course meal before taking off.
