It’s getting easier to get to St Croix for the winter season.

Caribbean carriers Seaborne and Cape Air are both adding new flights to meet demand for the season, according to the United States Virgin Islands Department of Tourism.

Seaborne is increasing service on its San Juan-St Croix to three daily flights beginning Dec. 20; on Jan. 8, Seaborne will increase its frequency from three flights to six day flights.

Officials say the additional flights will “more than compensate” for the loss of 100 seats from the discontinuation of daily JetBlue flights from San Juan.

Travelers can still book Seaborne and Cape Air flights on JetBlue’s platform thanks to codeshare agreements with both carriers.
