Travel
St. Kitts is easy to get to by way of Miami, New York, San Juan (Puerto Rico), Antigua or St. Marten. All of these destinations have regularly scheduled flights from the United States by major airlines.
Typically you will fly from San Juan. During the busiest travel days for students, you will find a Ross University concierge desk located near Gate 2. There you will find a welcome packet that includes immigration and customs forms, bottled water, and other information of interest.
American Airlines provides a special discount fare to Ross University students to and from these connecting flight locations. American has a direct route from Puerto Rico to St. Kitts via American Eagle, which operates seven days per week.
