In a move catering to the increasing Canadian interest in the vibrant Antigua and Barbuda experience, the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority has announced the launch of two special non-stop flights with Caribbean Airlines this summer. These flights aim to facilitate travel for attendees of the upcoming Antigua Carnival and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 cricket matches.
New Flights to Antigua and Barbuda
“More Canadians than ever are choosing Antigua and Barbuda as their go-to summer destination, and this expanded service by Caribbean Airlines directly reflects that momentum,” said Tameka Wharton, Director of Tourism at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority. The additional flights provide enhanced access for those eager to participate in key summer events on the islands.
Flight Schedule
The special flights will operate on the following dates:
- Departure from Toronto: July 31 | Return: August 6
- Departure from Toronto: August 16 | Return: August 23
These flights are strategically timed to ensure cricket fans can conveniently attend the games, enhancing the existing weekly services typically offered by Air Canada and WestJet on Sundays.
Experiencing Antigua Carnival
This year’s Antigua Carnival, heralded as the “Caribbean’s Greatest Summer Festival,” will run from July 25 to August 5. The event attracts visitors worldwide, promising two weeks packed with electrifying music, culture, and celebration. In addition, fans can look forward to the excitement of the CPL T20 matches at the renowned Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in August, another key attraction for both local and international cricket enthusiasts.
Booking and Availability
Seats for these newly introduced flights are limited and available for booking now through the Caribbean Airlines website. Travelers are encouraged to secure their spots promptly to enjoy the festivities in Antigua and Barbuda this summer.
The introduction of these non-stop flights not only enhances travel options for Canadians but also highlights the growing appeal of Antigua and Barbuda as a premier summer destination, perfectly blending cultural richness with exhilarating entertainment.
