The interline agreement between Winair and Air Caraïbes offers passengers several advantages:
Simplified travel: Passengers can book a single ticket for their entire journey, even if it involves flights on both airlines.
Seamless connections: Baggage can be checked through to the final destination, without re-check during transit and boarding passes are given for the whole journey at the checking.
More travel options: Passengers have access to a wider network of destinations served by both airlines.
Air Caraïbes connects Europe through Orly Airport (ORY) via Fort-de-France (FDF), and Sint Maarten (SXM) to all destinations on Winair’s extensive Caribbean network.
This opens up a variety of exciting connection possibilities, for example:
Passengers flying from Paris (ORY) with Air Caraïbes can connect seamlessly with Winair at Sint Marteen (SXM) to idyllic island destinations like Antigua (ANU), St Barthélemy (SBH), or Dominica (DOM), Saba (SAB), St Eustatius (EUX), Tortola or St Kitts.
Passengers travelling to Fort-de-France (FDF) can connect with Winair for Dominica.
By working together, Winair and Air Caraïbes said they are committed to providing passengers with the best possible travel experience in the Caribbean.
