New York to Providenciales is 1,300 miles, which a light jet flies non-stop in about three and a half hours and a midsize cabin in a little over three. This is one of the busiest winter routes from the north-east. The private terminal at Providenciales clears customs and immigration in minutes.
Grace Bay is ten minutes from the airport. South Caicos, a short hop east, serves the newer resorts on that side and avoids the boat transfer. The airport is not open around the clock, so we time the arrival for its operating hours.
Aircraft are based in New York in numbers, so a same-day departure is usually possible. A round trip with the aircraft waiting a few days is often the better value.
