NEW YORK, New York – The twin islands of Antigua and Barbuda are experiencing record low airfares to the destination during the busiest time of the season, where travelers across the New York Tristate area are eager to escape the blistery winters. Travelers can now find inexpensive fares to Antigua and Barbuda for as low as $280 round-trip including taxes and fees on United, American Airlines and JetBlue from both New York (JFK) and Newark (EWR). JetBlue’s entry-level $280 fare will be available through to March 2016. These enticingly low fares with short flight times of less than four hours make Antigua and Barbuda an ideal Winter getaway; making travel to this Caribbean paradise easy and seamless.
Historically known as one of the less affordable Caribbean destinations to get to, this shift in price is expected to increase visitor arrivals to Antigua and Barbuda as consumers will be getting more added value for their money which should in turn increase visitor on-island spend. Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Ms. Marie Walker is excited about the positive results this will bring to the destination, “These inexpensive fares are fantastic news for Antigua and Barbuda and is sure to increase our competitiveness in the US market where consumers are so much more savvy than in the past. Research shows people are often looking for the best deals when planning a vacation, and you can’t beat $280 for a quick flight to get you directly to the paradise of Antigua and Barbuda. Very shortly, those along the Eastern seaboard will be desperately looking for an escape from the cold weather and short days, and we are confident the combination of cerulean waters, 365 different pristine white and pink sand beaches, wonderful gastronomy and inexpensive flights will entice many more visitors to discover the wonder that is Antigua and Barbuda this season,” says Ms. Walker.
The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority in tandem with the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism plans to continue building on this momentum and is striving to increase airlift to the twin islands from across the North American Market. The destination will be launching its new Seaborne Airlines service out of San Juan, Puerto Rico to Antigua’s VC Bird International Airport on Sunday, December 13th, that will act as a perfect connector with codeshare partners JetBlue who are the largest operators in to San Juan as well as the world’s largest carrier, American Airlines.
The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority North America office has been aggressively promoting the destination with a strategic digital and print ad campaign with several notable publications to include, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Brides.com and Budget Travel coupled with a tactical relentless road show calendar geared towards targeting specific markets in the Northeast, South and Midwest territories as well as Canada.

APIE ANTIGUĄ IR BARBUDĄ
Antigva (tariama An-tee'ga) ir Barbuda (Bar-byew'da) yra Karibų jūros širdyje. Didžiausia iš Pavėjinių salų, Antigva ir Barbuda, apima 108 kvadratinių mylių. 365 balto ir rožinio smėlio paplūdimiai, po vieną kiekvienai metų dienai, yra tik pradžia lankytojų laukiančių lobių. Turtinga Antigvos istorija ir įspūdinga topografija suteikia daugybę populiarių lankytinų vietų. Nelsono laivų statykla, vienintelis likęs Gruzijos forto, kurį britai užsakė 1755 m., pavyzdys yra bene labiausiai žinomas orientyras. Betty's Hope, pastatyta 1674 m., yra viena iš pirmųjų didelio masto cukraus plantacijų Antigvoje ir suteikia galimybę sugrįžti į laiką apsilankius atkurtuose malūnuose. Dar viena unikali atrakcija – Velnio tiltas, esantis rytiniame salos pakraštyje Indian Town nacionaliniame parke, kur Atlanto laužytojai išraižė natūralią kalkakmenio arką. Antigva gali pasigirti įvairiu turizmo kalendoriumi, įskaitant tokius renginius kaip Pasaulinės klasės Antigvos buriavimo savaitė, Klasikinė jachtų regata, Antigvos sportinė žvejyba ir kasmetinis karnavalas; žinomas kaip Karibų didžiausias vasaros festivalis. Apgyvendinimas saloje svyruoja nuo prabangių, prabangių kurortų ir „viskas įskaičiuota“ viešbučių iki mažesnių, jaukesnių, prabangių svečių namų ir kotedžų.
