Travel - International

Air
Airlines serving Saba include Winair (website: www.fly-winair.com).

Approximate flight times
All international air travel is via St Maarten. From Saba to London (via St Maarten and Amsterdam) is 13 hours, to Los Angeles is 10 hours, to New York is six hours and to Singapore is 34 hours (these will vary considerably, depending on connections).

International airports
Juancho Yrausquin (SAB) at Cove Bay. The runway, at 400m (1300ft), is one of the shortest in the world. There are daily STOL turboprop flights to St Eustatius and St Kitts (and thus the airport may be classified as ‘international’) and thrice daily to St Maarten.

Departure tax
US$7 to Netherlands Antilles, US$22 for all other destinations (due to exchange rates, prices may vary).

Sea
Small boats operate from the Leo A Chance Pier at Fort Bay. There are regular ferry services to St Maarten (travel time – one hour). A weekly cargo boat brings groceries and other supplies from St Maarten. Cruise ships call occasionally.
