Getting to and EXPLORING

Anguilla

FOR THOSE THAT LOVE TO FLY There are now more ways to fly into Anguilla than ever. With the comfort and convenience of a private charter, for the cost of a single seat, Tradewind Aviation operates a scheduled service from the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Check their website for timetables (at the time of going to press, flights are available from early December to April). Private charter flights to Anguilla are offered all year round.

Scheduled flights start at USD $195, plus taxes and fees each way. Itinerary changes can be made without penalty. A private charter from San Juan to Anguilla in a Pilatus PC-12 starts at USD $4,500.

Flights are operated in modern, turbine-powered and air-conditioned Pilatus PC-12 aircraft flown by two pilots. Complimentary refreshments, snacks, wine and beer are available onboard. And, in San Juan, you can relax between flights in the exclusive Tradewind lounge, then depart directly to the aircraft, bypassing TSA security delays.

Other things to love about this service include the fact that itinerary changes can be made without penalty, and cancellation (outside of 24 hours before departure) results in full credit on account for one year.

helpful driving tips

STAY LEGAL

You need insurance and an Anguilla temporary driving license – your hire company will provide both.

DRIVE ON THE LEFT

In Anguilla, like the UK, we drive on the left. It’s OK to drive slowly! The speed limit is 30 miles an hour on most roads. And sometimes you will encounter livestock (look out for the goats on Jeremiah Gumbs Highway at dawn and dusk).

WHAT GOES AROUND

Anguilla has seven roundabouts (most of which can be found in our capital The Valley), four sets of traffic lights, two one-way streets – and no freeways (we have the Jeremiah Gumbs Highway). Don’t be put off by the roundabouts – they are easy to navigate – just make sure you give way (yield) to any traffic coming from the right. Cars on your left must give way (or yield) to you.

DON'T GET LOST

If you stop and ask for directions, don’t be surprised if you are told to go east or west, and then so and so, and then turn by the big grape tree. Directions in Anguilla don’t always follow the international standard!
