Travel between the Caribbean islands and Paris has become significantly easier following the launch of a new interline agreement between Air Caraïbes and LIAT 2020.
Since June 1, passengers can book a single ticket covering their entire journey from a range of Caribbean destinations to Paris-Orly, eliminating the need for separate reservations and multiple check-in procedures.
The partnership addresses a long-standing challenge for travelers flying from smaller Caribbean islands.
Under the new arrangement, passengers benefit from a single booking, through check-in and baggage transfer to their final destination. The streamlined process also offers greater protection and convenience when making connections.
The agreement combines LIAT’s extensive regional network with Air Caraïbes’ transatlantic services.
LIAT serves a broad range of Caribbean destinations, including Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and St. Maarten/St. Martin.
Air Caraïbes operates flights from Paris-Orly to the French Caribbean territories of Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and St. Martin. The airline also serves major leisure destinations in the region, including Punta Cana and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, as well as Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The new interline agreement means travelers departing from islands such as Dominica, Saint Lucia or St. Vincent can now reach Paris on a single itinerary, with baggage checked through to their final destination.
Strengthening regional connectivity
The LIAT partnership is the latest step in Air Caraïbes’ strategy to expand its connectivity beyond its own network.
The airline has previously introduced combined rail-and-air ticketing with SNCF, making Caribbean destinations more accessible from cities across France and Belgium. It has also developed partnerships with other regional carriers to improve links throughout the Caribbean basin.
Together, Air Caraïbes and LIAT aim to position Paris-Orly as a key gateway for the wider Caribbean while making travel between the islands and Europe more seamless.
