Direct Flights to the Caribbean from the US and London, Winter 2026-27

Updated November 2026

This winter you can fly nonstop to the Caribbean from New York to almost every island with a private villa worth the trip, and from Miami to more than twenty Caribbean destinations, most in three hours or less. Boston has nonstops to twelve islands, Atlanta to ten on Delta, and London to Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, Jamaica and Punta Cana, as well as Bermuda. St Barts and Mustique have no nonstop and are reached by a short connection. Below, the routes city by city, with the flight times, and our Caribbean villa rentals at the other end.

Direct flights to the Caribbean at a glance

From airline announcements and published schedules in November 2026, rounded. Many routes run only in winter or a few days a week; we confirm the flight for your dates.

Direct flights from New York

New York has the widest choice, and Newark is now part of it: from December 18 AnguillAir flies nonstop from Newark to Anguilla on Mondays and Fridays, and from December 19 BermudAir adds flights from Newark to Providenciales. Cayman Airways ended its JFK service on October 19, 2026, so Grand Cayman is now JetBlue and United, with Delta adding winter flights from December 19. For a weekend, our guide to short flights from New York to the beach puts the islands next to Nantucket, Bermuda and Miami.

Direct flights from Boston

Logan has nonstops this winter to Turks and Caicos, Anguilla, St Martin, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Aruba, St Lucia, San Juan and St Thomas, most of them on JetBlue, with Delta and American adding winter flights and BermudAir flying to Anguilla and Turks and Caicos. Our guide to direct flights from Boston to the Caribbean has the airlines, days and flight times island by island.

Direct flights from Miami

Miami is the Caribbean’s gateway: American alone flies to more than twenty Caribbean destinations from there, and the shortest flight is under an hour. Our guide to short flights from Miami orders them by flight time, with what happens after you land.

Anguilla: three ways in, nonstop

This winter Anguilla has nonstops from four US airports: American from Miami, daily, in about three hours; and from mid-December BermudAir’s AnguillAir from Boston and Newark on Mondays and Fridays and from Baltimore-Washington on Mondays. From San Juan, Tradewind flies to the island daily from December 10 to April 12, and Cape Air flies daily from St Thomas. Most of our guests still fly to St Martin and cross by private boat in about 25 minutes. See our Anguilla villa rentals and our guide to how to get to Anguilla.

The Beach House

Meads Bay · 8 bedrooms · sleeps 16

On Meads Bay, with an infinity-edge pool, a tennis court, a children’s play area, beach volleyball, and rowing boats and paddleboards at the water. Fully staffed, with chefs, a property manager, daily maid service and a member of staff available 24 hours a day.

Direct flights from Atlanta

Delta also flies from Atlanta to Aruba and to Liberia in Costa Rica. Our guide to where you can fly from Atlanta has the full list.

Direct flights from London

British Airways also flies from Heathrow to Bermuda, in just under eight hours. There is no nonstop from London to Turks and Caicos or Grand Cayman: British Airways flies to both through Nassau. Virgin Atlantic’s Antigua flights are nonstop from November 27 to April 11; in the rest of the year they touch down in Barbados on the way.

Islands you reach by a short connection

St Barts has no nonstop from the US mainland: its runway takes only small aircraft. Fly to St Martin and take a flight of about fifteen minutes on Winair or St Barth Commuter, or a ferry of about 45 minutes; Tradewind also flies from San Juan and Antigua, and Cape Air from St Thomas. Mustique is reached through Barbados or St Vincent. A private charter is the most seamless way onto either, and we arrange it with the villa: see our St Barts villa rentals and our guide to flights to St Barts.

Plan your Caribbean trip

Best time to visit

The Caribbean is warm all year, and the dry season runs from December to April, which is also when the airlines fly the most. May, June and November are quieter, with more choice of villas. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. Book nine to twelve months ahead for Christmas, New Year, Presidents’ Day, Easter and the summer weeks, and six to nine months ahead for the rest of spring and autumn.

Passports and currency

US citizens need a passport for every island on this page except Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. The US dollar is the official currency in Turks and Caicos and the US Virgin Islands and is widely accepted elsewhere, alongside the Eastern Caribbean dollar (in Anguilla, Antigua and St Lucia, among others), the Barbados dollar and the Jamaican dollar; St Martin’s French side and St Barts use the euro.

Travel insurance

Arrange it when you book, so it covers the flights and the villa from the start: cancellations, medical care and missed connections, which matter most when the last leg is a small aircraft or a boat.
