Travel Tips
Book Early for Flights**: If you’re flying, book your tickets well in advance to secure the best rates. Check for direct flights to Barbuda’s Codrington Airport or consider flights to Antigua followed by a short domestic flight or ferry.
Consider Ground Transport**: If opting for a bus or car, plan for a scenic drive to the ferry terminal in Antigua. Ensure to check ferry schedules and book tickets online to avoid long wait times, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Timing is Key**: Allow ample time for any border crossings if traveling through Antigua. Customs can be slow, so factor in extra time. Aim to arrive at the ferry terminal or airport at least 2 hours before departure.
Luggage Limits**: Be mindful of luggage restrictions, especially on smaller flights and ferries. Most airlines have strict weight limits for checked luggage, often around 50 lbs, and carry-on restrictions.
Travel Insurance**: Consider purchasing travel insurance that covers both flight cancellations and health emergencies, especially if you’re traveling during hurricane season (June to November), which can disrupt travel plans in the Caribbean.
