Island hopping. It’s what we all dream about. Boarding a tiny plane, jaunting from destination to destination, just a small suitcase and a big dream. A few days of dining in Grand Case, then a hiking adventure in Dominica, then a beach getaway in Antigua.
It’s easier said than done, of course. But if you travel to the region frequently, you’re familiar with Winair, the St Maarten-based airline that makes island-hopping an art form.
While Winair had largely been focusing on its flights to small airports on Caribbean islands like St Barth, Saba and Statia, in the last year the airline has embarked on a major expansion push that included destinations like Antigua, Dominica and Tortola. Now, Winair is adding three more destinations, Caribbean Journal has learned.
That comes along with other connections between Saint Lucia and Dominica, Martinique and St Vincent, the carrier said. The new flights are perfect “whether you’re a local or an international traveler,” CEO Hans van de Velde told Caribbean Journal.
If you’re a US traveler, you’ll be pleased to know that Winair’s JetBlue partnership means you can easily connect through St Maarten to any of these destinations.
So what will all of these flights cost? Right now, fares are starting at $89, for travel between Nov. 15, when the flights kick off, and Dec. 15. You can learn more at Winair.
