Many countries require passports to be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your expected return and may require blank passport pages for entry and exit stamps.

Q. How much luggage can I take?

Most airlines permit each passenger to take one carry-on bag and one additional personal carry-on item, such as a purse or briefcase/laptop case. All carry-on items must fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartment. Most airlines will allow you to check bags as well. Please check with your airline to confirm current luggage limitations and any applicable fees* for carry-on and checked baggage. Please note that many airlines charge significant fees for overweight or oversized luggage. Luggage may be locked only with a TSA approved lock.

Be sure that all baggage and personal belongings are properly insured. Items such as medication, jewelry or other valuables, breakable or perishable items, and important documents should be hand-carried. Responsibility will not be assumed by the airline for loss of or damage to these items.

*Please note that all baggage fees are at your own expense.

Q. Can I travel with my medication?

One of the more popular questions we get from travelers is: “Can I travel with my medication?” The answer is yes, with some qualifiers. Here are a few tips that you might find helpful.

It is not necessary to present your medication to, or notify an officer about any medication you are traveling with unless it is in liquid form (See next bullet).
Medication in liquid form is allowed in carry-on bags in excess of 3.4 ounces in reasonable quantities for the flight. It is not necessary to place medically required liquids in a zip-top bag. However, you must tell the officer that you have medically necessary liquids at the start of the screening checkpoint process. Medically required liquids will be subject to additional screening that could include being asked to open the container.
You can bring your medication in pill or solid form in unlimited amounts as long as it is screened.
You can travel with your medication in both carry-on and checked baggage. It’s highly recommended you place these items in your carry-on in the event that you need immediate access.
TSA does not require passengers to have medications in prescription bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication with which passengers need to comply.
Medication is usually screened by X-ray; however, if a passenger does not want a medication X-rayed, he or she may ask for a visual inspection instead. This request must be made before any items are sent through the X-ray tunnel.
Nitroglycerin tablets and spray (used to treat episodes of angina in people who have coronary artery disease) are permitted and have never been prohibited.

Q. What is the weather like in Antigua?

April in Antigua is a delightful time to visit, as the island enjoys warm, sunny days and pleasant tropical breezes. Average daytime temperatures hover around 82°F (28°C), while nights cool slightly to a comfortable 75°F (24°C). Rainfall is minimal during this time, with occasional light showers that quickly give way to clear skies, making it perfect for beach outings, sailing, and exploring the island. The consistent trade winds also help keep the humidity at bay, creating an inviting atmosphere for outdoor adventures and leisurely relaxation.

Q. What should I pack?

Shorts, T-shirts, and sandals are suitable for men, while shorts, skirts, tank tops, T-shirts and sandals are ideal for women. Temperatures can be lower than normal in the evenings so it is always a good idea to pack a warmer outfit, such as pants and long-sleeved shirt or sweater.

Dress Clothing

Your daily clothing is sufficient for casual restaurants, but you'll need dress clothing for the more formal restaurants. Slacks and dress shirts are acceptable for men, while slacks, skirts, blouses, and dresses are suitable for women.

Beaches and Excursions

As you plan your vacation, research the destinations in and around Antigua that you might consider visiting on a day trip. If you plan to walk around or do something else that requires significant hiking, pack running shoes and light clothing that will shield you from the sun. Ensure you have an extra bathing suit, hat, sandals or water shoes and plenty of sunscreen.

General Items

The list of general items you pack should range from those that are essential to those that will help you enjoy your visit. Pack your toothbrush, toothpaste, hair products, makeup, and other accessories, and if you get ill easily when traveling, take some medication that will help with an upset stomach and other common travelers' ailments.

Q. Do I need to bring an electrical adapter?

Antigua uses a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 60Hz. The power outlets typically accommodate Type A and Type B plugs, similar to those used in the United States.

If you're traveling from a country that uses a different plug type or a lower voltage (like 110V), you’ll need a plug adapter and possibly a voltage converter to safely use your devices. Check the voltage requirements of your electronics before traveling to ensure compatibility.

Q. What if I have a special health concern?

If you have any health concerns that may require special attention, please contact us prior to departure. Passengers requiring prescription medications are advised to keep them in their carry-on luggage.
