LF Wade International Airport (BDA) serves direct flights from major East Coast cities, including New York (2 hours), Boston (2 hours), Philadelphia (2.5 hours), and Atlanta (2.5 hours), as well as Toronto, London, and seasonal European routes. US citizens only need a passport valid for the duration of their stay; no visa required.
The mandatory Bermuda Arrival Card must be completed online prior to departure at www.BermudaArrivalCard.com (free, avoid third party sites charging fees). Cruise ships dock at King’s Wharf (Royal Naval Dockyard), with seasonal departures from east coast ports (April-October). Private yachts can clear customs in St.
George’s, Hamilton or Dockyard. The 650-mile distance from the US east coast makes Bermuda easily accessible but maintains its isolation in the mid-Atlantic. There are no quarantine requirements, but travel insurance is highly recommended due to high medical costs.
Hurricane season (June-November) can affect travel plans, although the island’s infrastructure withstands storms well.
