VACATION IN THE WORLD’S LEADING HONEYMOON DESTINATION.

The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority has announced a reduction in airfares for American Airlines flights between Miami, Florida and Saint Lucia. With increased flight options available, AA is now offering round trip fares for as low as USD$514 from Miami.

Visitors can now vacation in the World’s Leading Honeymoon destination starting in February 2019 for the incredibly low price, and take in the spectacular sights and sounds that have made Saint Lucia one of the world’s must-see destinations.

Last month, American Airlines reintroduced its evening service flight from Miami. Flight 1335 landed at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) at 10:49 p.m., on Dec. 19, 2018, while the departing flight 1550 took off for Miami International Airport at 8:13 a.m. on Dec. 20, 2018.

“This is a significant reintroduction to the island after a decade and a major asset to our tourism product,” said Minister for Tourism, Hon. Dominic Fedee of the evening service. “This added flight is expected to boost tourism arrivals, which has seen hotels, guest houses and the Airbnb sector increase room capacity over the past years.”

SLTA Acting CEO Ms. Tiffany Howard said: “Saint Lucia is optimistic that the new American Airlines late night service will be sustained beyond the peak winter tourism season. For American Airlines passengers the additional flight is a response to demand for more options into and out of Saint Lucia, as the destination has been receiving increased nonstop flights from the United States this winter.”

American Airlines currently offers a daily morning flight to Saint Lucia from Miami, Florida and a weekly flight from Charlotte, North Carolina. The airline also resumed seasonal weekly flights from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Dec. 22, 2018.

In addition, both JetBlue and Delta operate daily flights into Saint Lucia from New York City and Atlanta, Georgia, respectively. Weekly direct flights are also available from Newark, New Jersey on United Airlines; and from Boston, Massachusetts on JetBlue.

The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) is committed to ongoing efforts to increase airlift into Saint Lucia.
