The cheapest month to fly to Antigua is in November. The year-round tropical weather means you’ll still get great weather, perfect for those who enjoy slightly cooler temperatures. Peak season is between April through to December when the temperatures are slightly higher.

Antigua can be very affordable if you travel in the off-season, between May to November. You’ll still experience the warm tropical weather, save money on flights and accommodation and enjoy fewer crowds.

V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU) is on the northeast corner of the island, with fixed taxi fares between the airport and many of the major hotels and destinations. Or you can take a direct bus to St. John’s, which departs from the airport every 15 minutes and takes around 20 minutes.
