For St Barths, European Union citizens can travel with their national ID card or passport. Other nationalities must show a valid passport. For Anguilla and Saba, a passport is required for all visitors.

Luggage

Each passenger is allowed 1 carry-on and 1 to 2 checked bags depending on the company. Extra luggage is charged between $5 and $20.

Online booking

Online bookings generally need to be made at least 24 hours in advance. During peak season (December to April), advance booking is highly recommended.
