People fly to Antigua and Barbuda for beach focused vacations with a premium feel, especially around the west and south coasts of Antigua where resorts, dining, and excursions are easy to plan. It is also a strong choice for couples trips, weddings, and group travel because the island logistics are straightforward once you pick the right flight timing.
Sailing is a major draw, with travelers planning trips around marina areas and seasonal events, plus day trips that combine snorkeling, bays, and coastal viewpoints. Barbuda adds a quieter option for travelers who want a more remote beach experience and a slower pace.
Flight planning matters most when you are coordinating arrival times for check in, transfers, or onward connections. A quick call helps narrow the best schedules and avoid long layovers when options are limited.
Most travelers use these airports for international arrivals and island access:
V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU): Main gateway on Antigua, best overall choice for most visitors thanks to the widest flight selection and quickest access to Saint Johnâs and resort areas.
Barbuda Burton Nibbs International Airport (BBQ): Barbuda airport serving the smaller island, useful when your trip is centered on Barbuda and flights align with your dates.

Entry rules depend on nationality, but travelers should plan on a valid passport and standard arrival screening on entry.

Bird International Airport, with the form available within 72 hours of arrival.
A few practical tips can make planning flights to Antigua and Barbuda easier:
Pick the best airport for your stay: If you are staying on Antigua, ANU is the standard choice. If you are staying on Barbuda, check whether BBQ service fits your dates.
Time your arrival for check in: Midday to afternoon arrivals usually make transfers and first day planning easier than late night landings.
Build buffer for connections: Avoid tight layovers if you are connecting through a hub, especially in summer and early fall.
Group trip planning matters: Seats and cabin inventory can tighten quickly for weddings and larger parties, so locking flights earlier helps.
Call for multi island itineraries: We can align flights if you are pairing Antigua with Barbuda or another nearby island and want smoother connections.
