The Way to Go!

The following is from http://www.islandhoppingexperts.com/ – I just want to add that for the number of years we have been coming to Montserrat from Antigua, we have chartered with Carib Aviation to Montserrat whenever possible. Why? Because we just wanted to get “home” to our private paradise, because we had lots of luggage, and with a charter that was “no problem, mon,” because of the wonderful feeling of being pampered and special, and because it made getting there just so very easy.

=====================================================================
Nothing beats the great feeling of seeing your private pilot waiting to greet you as you get off your jet in Antigua, or St. Maarten, or Guadeloupe, or on some other jet-serviced island. You know that last little hop will be landing you in paradise in minutes. No long Immigration lines, customs’ hassles or frustrating airport scenarios….. Just a sigh of relief. You’re there!

Cost-wise shared charters are only a few dollars more than the old scheduled air. The big difference is that they are reliable. They are not going to go out of business with little or no notice because they are profitable. And users vow that the convenience is well worth it. Shared charters fly with 6 to 9 passengers depending on the luggage. All island-to-island planes are weight restricted, as are scheduled flights in the USA. The nice thing is, if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage and even pets, you probably can afford to charter the whole plane for yourself, at least one time.

As with all airlines, cost depends on your final island destination (basically how far away it is from your arrival airport) and the government taxes and fees (which are charged all aircraft, scheduled or charter.) So it’s best to contact us for a current quote if you have special needs.

From Antigua to Montserrat the fare is only $105 pp (based on 6 passengers) with a $35 pp surcharge to fly with only 4 passengers.

As with all flights these days, you should have a certain amount of flight protection. Hurricanes, blizzards, floods all play havoc with air schedules in the USA. Your connecting Charters and shared-charter seats are non-refundable. Should your jet be delayed, come in after dark, flight protection can pay for your overnight and flight out the next morning. The cost can be as little as $16 pp. Remember, if you miss a scheduled air flight from the USA you are liable for a change fee, the difference in fares and possibly your overnight. Your Flight Protection can cover your jet air into the Caribbean as well.

Here at Caribbean Connection we take the mystery out of chartering island to island and make it convenient, fun and reliable. With your special bag tags and documents you will receive our What If? Pamphlet. It answers all your what if questions about unexpected situations. Remember our goal is to get you safely and quickly to your island destination.

For those small groups of friends or family who want their own plane PRIVATE CHARTERS are available. And with a Private Charter from/to St. Maaretn comes the opportunity for Platinum Ground Service. This wonderful service is available only in St. Maarten, and is especially appreciated on the return flight connecting with your jet home.

Upon landing in St. Maarten, you will be whisked off to an air-conditioned lounge with open bar, beverages and snacks. Your luggage will be taken through High Security and checked in for you. No airport lines. No counter hassles. You just relax and party. Then when the boarding call comes…..you will be escorted out to your major carrier. Totally seamless and a great way to end or start your holiday! Better than traveling First Class! The cost? Minimal when divided up among a plane-load of people. $175 per plane.
