Accommodations
Getting
to
Montserrat
is easier than ever … A valid Passport with an expiration date beyond
the completion of your prospective studies is required for entry.
We have a newly constructed,
Gerald's airport.
The nearest International airport is the
V.C.
Bird
International
Airport located in
St John's
Antigua less than 30 miles and a short 16 minutes travel time. Antigua is
served by numerous major airlines with direct flights from London, San
Juan (PR), New York and other cities, both within and outside the
Caribbean*. The
Montserrat
airport is served with 4 to 5 regularly scheduled flights provided
daily by Windward Islands International Airways (Winair).
Charter service by Carib Aviation and Montserrat Air are the
region's newest air service.
*International
Airlines to Antigua include Virgin Atlantic, British Airways,
Continental, Delta, American Eagle / American Airlines, US Airways, Air
Canada
, Liat, British West Indies Airways, Caribbean Star, Caribbean Sun,
Winair and others serving US,
UK and CARICOM cities. One
can also connect from nearby St. Maarten and other nearby Islands via
Air
France, British Midlands Airways, Condor, Virgin Atlantic,
KLM and others.
The locally owned Island Hopper airlines (Liat, Caribbean Sun,
Caribbean Star, and others) connect
virtually all Island Nations in the Caribbean so if one flight doesn't
connect, another likely will. With
over 20 regional and International airports to choose from it is
unlikely you will never be delayed for long when traveling in the
Caribbean
.
FERRY SERVICE:
Ferry service was discontinued in 2005
when the new airport opened but inter-island sea travel can be arranged
through local dive shops. Once on
Island there are numerous taxis, rental cars and other means of getting
around.
