New Direct Flights: LIAT Air launches its first-ever nonstop link between Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) and Montego Bay (Jamaica) on July 14, with flights twice weekly (Tues/Sat outbound; Wed/Sun return), timed ahead of Reggae Sumfest to make a simpler “music trip” for French Caribbean travelers. Easier Island-to-Europe Connections: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes signed an interline deal effective June 1, letting passengers book on one ticket with through-checked baggage—connecting Air Caraïbes services from Guadeloupe/Martinique/French Guiana to LIAT’s wider Eastern Caribbean network and onward to Paris Orly. Air France Route Update: Air France continues an unusual Miami–Pointe-à-Pitre Airbus A320 service as part of an island-hopping network, now flying direct after suspending a Haiti stop due to security and aviation restrictions. Health Watch for Travelers: France reported 92 imported mosquito-borne cases in May (mostly dengue), all linked to travel abroad—relevant for visitors planning trips during the tiger mosquito season. Tourism & Culture Angle: A new travel-show concept highlights “beyond the resort” experiences in the French Caribbean, including guided access to Gros Piton via Fond Gens Libres in St. Lucia.
