One of Guadeloupe's top resort areas is Gosier. There are a number of reasons this is so, including the fact that is it a mere 15 minutes away from the country's major international airport. This is great news, because Guadeloupe is not known for its abundance of international flights, so removing the extra step of having to travel even further after stopping in several different airports is a relief for many.
In the town ofPointe a Pitre is Le Raizet Airport (PTP). There isn't much to the airport itself, other than the 11,483 foot long concrete runway which makes it possible for huge commercial jet liners to land here. Along with several daily flights from within the Caribbean, once a week you'll find non-stop trips from Miami, Montreal, and London.
If you're flying to Guadeloupe from the United States, Saturday is the day for you. Currently, American Airlines travels back and forth between Pointe a Pitre and Miami, Florida on this day every week.
The following table tells you which airlines have flights non-stop from the U.S. and the airports they fly from. The online booking services may not list the most logical options so it's useful to see at a glance which airlines provide direct service to this location.

While it is more common to find flights to the Caribbean from Toronto, it is actually Montreal that brings visitors from Canada via their major carrier Air Canada.

Air France offers weekly flights out of London's Heathrow Airport. If you're traveling from Europe and connecting through London isn't a possibility, you can make arrangements to connect to Miami through New York City, or elsewhere in the Caribbean.
From within the Caribbean, you'll find daily flights available through regional carries like LIAT and Winair. This works for those traveling to several different locations in the Caribbean, as well as those who find it easier to connect through the islands rather than wait until a flight is available from their home country.
See the table below for a listing of scheduled air service from other regional airports. Even if there are no flights directly from an airport near you, taking a connecting flight from another Caribbean airport might prove to be your best option.
| To/From | Airport Code | Airlines |
|---|---|---|
| Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda | ANU | LIAT |
| Dominica | DOM | Air Antilles Express, LIAT, Winair |
| Dominican Republic | SDQ | Air Antilles Express, Air Caraibes, Air France |
| Grand Case, The island of St. Martin and Sint Maarten | SFG | Air Antilles Express, Air Caraibes |
| Gustavia, St. Barthelemy | SBH | Air Antilles Express |
| Isla Verde, Puerto Rico | SJU | Seaborne Airlines |
| Martinique | FDF | Air Antilles Express, Air Caraibes, Air France |
