Montserrat still doesn't have any direct flights from the U.S. or even San Juan, but it just got a lot easier to get to the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean from its nearby gateway, Antigua.
Regular ferry service has resumed between Antigua and Monterrat, with the MV Deluxe making the one-hour, 15-minute passage between the two islands twice daily on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. Roundtrip fares are about $115, with special daytripping packages available.
The ferry service starts on Dec. 7.
Also, FlyMontserrat is providing another alternative to Winair's existing service to Montserrat by offering one daily flights between Antigua and Montserrat, starting Dec. 1 with fares starting at $110 roundtrip.
