JetBlue is kicking off a new route to Antigua and Barbuda next week, Caribbean Journal has learned.<\/p>\n
The fast-expanding carrier is launching its first-ever service from Newark-Liberty International Airport to Antiguas VC Bird International Airport.<\/p>\n
The new service, which begins July 3, will operate three times each week, with service on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays.<\/p>\n
The addition complements JetBlues existing service out of the wider New York area, which already includes flights on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.<\/p>\n
Its part of a broader Caribbean expansion first announced by JetBlue in February.<\/p>\n
And its never been a better time to visit Antigua and Barbuda, which has seen a strong tourism rebound after being one of the first destinations to reopen amid the pandemic back in June 2020.<\/p>\n
So what do travelers need to know?<\/p>\n
In one of the simpler-to-execute entry protocols in the region, all travelers have to do is show proof of a negative PCR test taken and received within seven days of their flight to Antigua.<\/p>\n
Children below the age of 12 dont need to take a test.<\/p>\n
Visitors may be required to undergo testing on arrival or at their hotel or place of lodging as determined by health authorities.<\/p>\n
And the wearing of face masks in public spaces is mandatory throughout Antigua and Barbuda, along with social distancing protocols.<\/p>\n
All visitors need to complete a health declaration form on arrival.<\/p>\n
So what will travelers find? <\/p>\n
Theyll find a vibrant, open destination, home to some of the Caribbeans leading hotels and resorts (like the spectacular Hammock Cove). a vibrant dining scene (Sheer Rocks is a must) and the beginnings of a renaissance in Barbuda, where Robert De Niro just opened his first Caribbean restaurant. <\/p>\n
