Flights to Montserrat

Flights > Caribbean > Montserrat > Montserrat (MNI)

Montserrat flights summary: There are no direct flights to Montserrat from the UK, but connecting flights are available to the island’s new airport from nearby Antigua.

Montserrat in a nutshell: Promotional posters from before Chance’s Peak started erupting in 1995 proudly stated: “Montserrat – the way the Caribbean used to be”. Luckily the tiny Crown Colony still retains much of its old fashioned charm despite the best efforts of the still active volcano to test the islanders’ patience.

More suggestions for finding cheap flights to Montserrat

Flight schedules to Montserrat have been as turbulent as the island’s volcano in recent years. The original W.H Bramble airport was destroyed following the 1997 eruptions, leading to many years of helicopter and fast boat services replacing fixed wing flights.

The new airport at Gerald's was opened in July 2005, but sadly this has not led to the kind of reliable services that the island desperately needs. Neither LIAT's subcontractor airline Carib Aviation, nor the now-defunct Air Montserrat, offer flights to Montserrat any more, although Winair do at least continue to provide flights from St Martin and Antigua to Montserrat. Winair offer between three and four flights a day between Antigua and Montserrat, and daily flights from St Martin to Montserrat.

To reach Montserrat from the UK, it is usually easiest to travel via Antigua from London Gatwick, although it is also sometimes worth looking at flights to St Martin, which has frequent inbound links from both Paris and Amsterdam. These St Martin flights tend to offer much better connections to UK regional airports than any of the Antigua flights which depart from Gatwick.

You will usually have to make your own independent booking for the onward flight to Montserrat - as with all Caribbean flights, we advise allowing plenty of contingency time in order to avoid missing connections.
