Flight frequency varies according to the season, with a notable increase during the high tourist season (November to April). From North America, particularly the USA and Canada, direct flights are also available from Miami, Toronto and Montreal.

To make the most of your trip to Martinique, it's essential to prepare your flight well. Don't forget to bring a valid passport and check visa requirements according to your country of origin.

Flights with stopovers allow you to travel from a larger number of cities. These flights are operated by various airlines. For example, from Europe, you can find flights with stopovers via Lisbon (TAP Air Portugal), Madrid (Iberia) or even Amsterdam (KLM). Stopovers can last from a few hours to an entire night, depending on the connection. 

For those coming from Europe, the easiest way is to stop over at Paris Orly or Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle.

For those coming from America, it's best to stop over in Montreal, Miami or Cayenne.

When planning these flights, it's important to take into account the total duration of the trip and the waiting time between flights.
 

For those who live far from major air hubs, it may be necessary to combine a flight with transit by car or train.

These transits add an extra logistical dimension to your trip. It is advisable to allow sufficient time margins between your arrival by train or car and the departure of your flight to avoid any stress associated with delays.
