The total flight time from the UK to Guadeloupe averages 8h 45m. However, this will change based on a number of factors, including your departure airport and whether there are any stopovers on your flight. The most common point of departure is London Heathrow Airport, which is the largest in the UK and one of the busiest in the world. Travelers can also depart from Manchester Airport, which is smaller and less crowded. You will arrive at Baillif Airport in Basse-Terre. This is the largest airport in Guadeloupe, although there are several others, including La Disirade Airport, Marie-Galante Airport, Sant Francois Airport, and Les Saintes Airport, most of which are located on different islands.
Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from any UK city to Guadeloupe. All flights will require at least one stopover or connection, whether you choose to fly from London or Manchester. A number of airlines offer service from the UK to Guadeloupe, including Air France, Iberia, American Airlines, Delta, and Air Canada. The most common stopover points include Paris, Amsterdam, and St. Maarten. Note that flight times can vary drastically depending on whether you have a single stopover or two stops. With a single stopover, you’re looking at a flight time between 8h 45m and 13h 45m. With two stopovers, you are looking at flight times of 20h and over.
Travelers have a number of ways to get around in Guadeloupe. The simplest is to rent a car. Many car hire companies can be found in the island nation, particularly near the airports. However, make sure to reserve a car at least three months ahead of time if you’ll be visiting during peak tourist season. Other ways to get around include taking one of the many taxis, riding bikes, or using the ferry system. Water taxis and boat rentals are also available.
Visitors will find many things to explore during their time in Guadeloupe. Pointe des Chateaux and Petite Terre are two of the most popular park areas and landmarks. Others include St. Anne Beach, which is ideal for swimming and lounging, and Ilet Caret, which offers secluded beauty. The Guadeloupe Zoo is a popular attraction, as are the Jardin Botanique de Deshaies and Memorial Acte.
If you are a British citizen, you will need a passport with at least six months of remaining validity to enter Guadeloupe. However, you will not need a visa. If you are a UK resident but not a British citizen, you will need a visa. Note that this may change depending on whether the UK leaves the EU. It is always wise to check with the government for requirements prior to booking a flight.
