The best time
to visit Saint Lucia with kids.
Here the timing question mostly answers itself: JetBlue's nonstop from Boston only runs Saturdays through the winter season, and that same window is also the dry season. The flight schedule and the weather line up on their own.
December through April, because that's when the flight runs.
Unlike most of our other seasonal guides, this one isn't purely a preference. JetBlue's nonstop Saturday service from Boston to Hewanorra Airport is seasonal, operating through winter, not year-round. Outside that window, reaching Saint Lucia from Boston means a connection instead of a direct flight.
Compare dates early; the season doesn't cover every Saturday.
Our own guide's advice holds here specifically: compare dates on Skyscanner early rather than assuming a given winter Saturday is automatically covered by the seasonal route. February vacation week sits squarely inside both the dry season and the nonstop's operating window, which makes it one of our more straightforward warm-weather vacation-week picks.
