Flawless holiday getaways are any traveller’s dream: no delays, no missing essentials, and the perfect itinerary! However, experienced tourists know that mistakes abound in every vacation plan, so how will you prepare?
From knowing what airlines fly to Antigua from US non-stop to choosing the ideal Antigua beachfront villas, here are helpful traveller’s tips for a stress-free Antigua holiday getaway:
Book Direct Flights
When browsing flight catalogues, always choose direct flights. Direct Antigua flights can take you from your original point to Antigua without any stopovers or transfers. Moreover, direct flights have minimal risk of losing or misplacing baggage, as you will only be riding one plane for the entirety of the trip.
Airlines that offer direct Antigua flights include American Airlines, JetBlue, and Delta.
The Best Time to Go
If your priority in this vacation is cost-savings and minimal crowds, consider going to Antigua between May and November. This date range is regarded as the offseason, with fewer tourists visiting and accommodation and flight rates lowered to more affordable ranges. Direct flights to Antigua are lowest in November.
It is important to note, however, that the offseason is also hurricane season. While there will be rain, it only lasts for short periods. Pack an umbrella with you, just in case.
Getting Around Antigua
Taxis are one of the best modes of public transportation in Antigua, as they are affordable and widely available. Unlike in the US, taxis here do not use a meter, and instead, prices are based on fixed rates. Taxis can accept either the US dollar or the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but they do not accept credit cards.
The Perfect Accommodation
Antigua hosts a variety of accommodations and resorts for its guests, but not all of them might fit your criteria. You can always look at reviews from TripAdvisor and Yelp for ideas on where to book.
We highly recommend booking a beachfront luxury villa at Tamarind Hills – Antigua’s premier boutique resort overlooking the famed Darkwood and Ffryes beaches. Their world-class facilities and amenities, as well as quality services, ensure all guests are well-taken care of and beyond satisfied.
