Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) Wait Times Today

In the airport today

• Today (Tuesday, September 22, 2026) at STX: about 216 departing passengers across 11 flights, busiest check-in window around 1:00pm — Low crowd severity.

Know before you go — STX

• STX has more mainland nonstops than its size suggests: Miami and Charlotte (American), Atlanta (Delta), New York-JFK, and seasonal Fort Lauderdale — plus inter-island hops to San Juan and St. Thomas.
• U.S. Customs at STX: the USVI is OUTSIDE the U.S. customs zone, so travelers heading to the mainland clear CBP (U.S. Customs) at St. Croix before boarding — not on arrival stateside.
• Small single-terminal airport — lines are usually short except when several jets depart together.
• TSA PreCheck is available at STX; Global Entry and Mobile Passport don't apply on USVI departures, since you're leaving — not entering — the U.S.
• Inter-island prop flights (Cape Air, Silver Airways) use a separate check-in area and don't share the main TSA queue.
• Henry E. Rohlsen Airport sits on the south side of St. Croix — about 20–30 minutes from Christiansted and 15 from Frederiksted.

How the crowd forecast works

• Departure crowds are modeled from each flight's seat count × a typical load factor, spread across a multi-hour check-in/security curve that peaks about 2 hours before departure.
• Crowd estimates are modeled from published flight schedules × typical load factors. Actual TSA wait times vary. Always verify your airline's check-in window.
