Air Travel in Martinique

Many travelers fly American Airlines and connect in San Juan to one of American Eagle's four weekly flights or to an Air France flight. Additionally, Air Antilles Express flies from Guadeloupe, St. Maarten, St. Barths, and, in some months, Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
