The travel to St Lucia is the expensive part.

especially trying to get into the northern airport. I opted for the southern airport and a bigger plane. Arrive in Philadelphia on Dec 26th (1 hour flight) and then jet direct to Hewanorra (5 hours flight time I think it said), then through customs and hop on a helicopter transfer right to the Grande. (15 minutes instead of the 2 hours taxi-bus ride). .
Northern airport would have been more than double the travel time and $200(US) per person MORE so the southern airport even WITH helicopter transfers was a far better deal.
Airfare, a week in a swim-up lagoon room, helicopter transfers totalling about $7000 (US). . My 25th anniversary. we can finally afford it!
