## Overview

Welcome Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on Beef Island isn't your typical Caribbean hub. It offers a unique, relaxed vibe where the island's warmth greets you the second you step off the plane. There's an ease here that frequent visitors cherish—immigration, luggage, and curbside are often a breeze when only a couple of flights are taxing its compact infrastructure. At a glance Sitting just 16 km (10 miles) east of Road Town on Tortola, EIS is perfectly positioned for quick transfers to the main island or other outlying spots.

## Insider tips

- _Time_: Build in at least a 3-hour buffer before any same-day interline connection—bleary queue conditions can blow tight 60-90 minute connections.
- _Money_: Have cash or a card ready for departure tax, as rules change and not all carriers bundle these charges, risking unexpected fees.
- _Avoid_: For ferry connections in Road Town, don’t plan too close to last sailings; late arrivals and processing delays at EIS can cause you to miss them.
- _Quiet_: Arrange evening transfers before landing. Taxis may be scarce post-last-flight bustle, so pre-book to meet your driver curbside.
- _Local_: Grab a meal in Trellis Bay before heading to the airport; in-terminal dining drops off outside peak times.
- _Insider_: For nervous flyers, sit on the aircraft's left when arriving from San Juan—you’ll catch breathtaking views of Tortola on descent.
- _Time_: Prioritize carrying essentials and a change of clothes on board in case of a baggage misroute; island purchasing options are limited and costly.
