Heading to Anguilla? Cape Air Has a New Year-Round Flight From St Thomas, USVI

It’s no surprise that Anguilla is one of the Caribbean’s most beloved little islands, home to some of the best beaches you’ll ever see and an enviable collection of top hotels and restaurants.

Getting there isn’t always a straight shot, though, typically meaning a flight to St Maarten and a ferry hop over the water.

But there’s a new way to fly there through one of the islands with the best airlift in the Caribbean: St Thomas.

Beginning Nov. 1, top regional carrier Cape Air is resuming its daily nonstop service between St Thomas and Anguilla, creating a crucial new connection between the two islands.

The flights are already bookable, and, more importantly, through Cape Air’s partners like Delta, JetBlue, United and Alaska Airlines, you can book (and send your luggage) all the way from your home airport to Anguilla on one ticket and one itinerary.

“We are excited to offer our passengers a direct gateway to Anguilla,” said Linda Markham, CEO &

President of Cape Air, in a statement shared with Caribbean Journal. “This new year-round service reflects our commitment to providing exceptional travel options and connects our passengers to one of the most stunning destinations in the Caribbean. Whether it’s for a relaxing beach getaway or a business retreat, Anguilla has something for everyone. In addition, we are ever mindful of our important role in connecting the peoples of Anguilla and St.Thomas with their home islands.”

Cape Air, which has been operating in the Caribbean since 1998, has a growing network of flights within the Caribbean, with daily flights on its Cessna 402 aircraft and hubs in destinations like St Thomas and San Juan.

You can fly on more than 80 flights every day to sought-after spots like St Thomas, St Croix, Tortola, Nevis and Virgin Gorda, Mayaguez and Culebra.

“The return of the Cape Air route between St. Thomas and Anguilla further elevates the connectivity of the U.S. Virgin Islands and our neighbors throughout the Caribbean. The continued regrowth of inter-Caribbean routes aligns with our collective regional push to increase and enhance the cross-island travel experience for residents and visitors alike,” said USVI Tourism Commissioner Joseph Boschulte.

Are you planning a vacation to Anguilla? The island is very much a year-round destination (here’s more on the island’s new year-round push), whether you’re staying at a top luxury resort like Aurora Anguilla or one of its excellent condo-style resorts like Tranquility Beach.
