By air from the USA: The easiest way to get to Jersey is to fly to London Gatwick. British Airways has 6 flights a day from there to Jersey.

Although Jersey’s weather is generally better than the UK, on previous occasions there have been problems with fog and other bad weather which have resulted in both planes and ferries being delayed. Please allow for extra time getting to Jersey.

Once you are on Jersey

If you come by plane you will end up at Jersey airport which is about as far away from St Helier as you can get on an island that is only 10 or so miles across. Get the number 15 bus to St Helier bus station (right by the ferry port, takes about half an hour), or take a taxi to the hotel. We
recommend taking a taxi.

Once you are in the middle of St Helier, either at the ferry port or bus station, you want to head for St Saviour’s Road, possibly signposted A7. We don’t recommend you try and walk from the ferry port to the hotel, it’s about a mile and the hotel has a very steep drive leading up to it. You can take a 3b, 4 or 23 bus (look for buses to the zoo), but then you’ve still got to walk up that steep drive. There is a map of St Helier on Jersey Tourism’s website at http://www.jersey.com/maps/ with the hotel at gh34.html.
