When do the new LIAT routes from Guadeloupe start?

According to industry coverage, LIAT Air begins Pointe-à-Pitre to Antigua in May 2026 and adds Pointe-à-Pitre to Montego Bay in July 2026. The plan includes two weekly rotations across the new links, timed for peak summer travel and major events that lift regional demand.

How do these routes help Canadian travellers?

More regional lift improves connection windows to long-haul networks via Antigua and supports multi-island holidays using Montego Bay as a gateway. Canadians should see steadier itineraries, better choice on travel days, and improved options for families and groups heading to Guadeloupe and neighbouring islands.

Will prices drop with added capacity?

Added capacity often improves fare discovery, but prices depend on load factors, fuel costs, and competition. Booking early, choosing flexible fares, and watching sales windows typically yield better value. For event-linked trips, secure hotels first, then flights, to avoid last-minute spikes from tight inventory.

What risks should I plan for on inter-island trips?

Regional connections can face weather and schedule changes. Build buffer time at hubs, consider overnight options during peak weekends, and use travel insurance with strong connection coverage. Keep contact details updated with airlines and monitor notifications 72 hours before departure for any timetable adjustments.
