In contrast to Caribbean islands, Bermuda is a short 2-hour plane ride from major East Coast Gateway cities (NY-JFK, LaGuardia, NJ-Newark, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Miami, and Toronto), and direct flights are also available from Atlanta and Detroit.  There are daily British Airways flights to London-Gatwick in the summer months; the schedule is slightly reduced for the winter months

Airplane
Located on the eastern end of the island, Bermuda's only airport is Bermuda International Airport.  Once on the island, there are always taxis waiting to take you where you need to go, as rental cars are prohibited. Also note that although there is an excellent bus service on the island, you cannot take luggage on the bus. 

Cruise Ship 
Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, Bermuda's ports are usually occupied by gigantic cruise ships.  It has been said that when ships are docked at one all three areas (Hamilton, St. George, and the Dockyard) the population of the island doubles.  Taxis will be waiting at these locations as well, as are the Bermuda public transportation buses.  Also, from each of these three points is the sea ferry system that employs a very fast and efficient catamaran ferry. 

Sailing
For the rare few that know how to sail, or know someone that's a sailor, entering the popular Newport to Bermuda sailing race is another way to find your way to the island.
