Nightmare itinerary-HELP!

I have to travel on business to the Caribbean in July.I need to spend 3 or 4 days each in Antigua and St Barts and 1 or 2 days in St Martin,St Vincent, Guadeloupe and Grenada.I may also need to visit Venezuela and Columbia on the same trip. Any ideas on an itinerary/places to stay and/or travel companies/airlines?I am travelling from the UK. Thanks

Hi Sean! That is indeed a nightmare of traveling - I hope you will get some time to just enjoy the Caribbean. Your best bet is LIAT, since they cover Antigua, St. Martin, Guadeloupe, and Grenada. Their website (which can be temperamental) is www.liatairline.com Their base is antigua, and you can get a direct flight from the UK to Antigua and connect from there. Another option is BWIA. They cover most of the islands too. Their website is http://www.bwee.com Here is an article on ALM - they go to Venezuela and St. Martin but not the other places that you mention: http://www.frommers.com/newsletters/.../article1.html ALM's website is www.airalm.com Good luck!

Sean-I know Virgin flys non stop to Antigua, you may wnat to use that as a base, then liat throughout. Or Air France flys non stop out of France to St. Martin. Both of these airports I mentioned serve large jets, so does Granada, but that is further south. I would staart with Antigua, or St. Martin. Just some thoughts!

Sean, I agree with the AirFrance, I took it to Martinique and it was very convenient, I know they fly into Guadaloupe. Also it is fairly easy to get to St. Barth on a ferry from St. Martin so you can arrange that when you get there. I would check with a local travel agent asap and give them an idea of what your travel dates are going to be and see what they can do with bookings. Also during the summer months the fares and hotel prices are much less. Have an amazing trip.
