Antigua (ANU) → Pointe-a-pitre (PTP)
A reference for the V.C. Bird International Airport to Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet route. You'll find the operators on file, the great-circle geometry, the connecting options if no nonstop fits your dates, and a short profile of each endpoint airport.
The flight from Antigua (ANU) to Pointe-a-pitre (PTP) covers a great-circle distance of roughly 101 km (63 miles). Aircraft leave V.C. Bird International Airport on an initial south heading. As international sectors go, this one sits in the short-haul bracket: long enough that most carriers run it as its own dedicated rotation, but short enough to fit inside a single crew duty period.
2 carriers file a direct ANU to PTP sector, with Air Antilles Express and Leeward Islands Air Transport among the operators on record. A route attracting this many carriers usually points to a city pair with both leisure and business demand, or a competitive hub-to-hub link where the airline alliances overlap on the same metal.

At well under 1,500 km this is a regional sector. Carriers typically run narrow-body aircraft from the Airbus A320 family or the Boeing 737 series, with regional jets (Embraer E-Jet, CRJ) showing up on lower-frequency rotations. Block time runs around 51m. Expect a single-aisle cabin and no real meal service. A snack and a drink is usually all you get.
If a nonstop doesn't match your dates, Miami (MIA), San Juan (SJU), and Philipsburg (SXM) show up on both ends of the network and make the most natural connecting points. The connecting-hubs grid below extends that list to the eight strongest options, ranked by each airport's overall departure activity. That ranking is a fast proxy for how many onward flights a single stop is likely to feed.

This is an international sector between Antigua and Barbuda and Guadeloupe. Build in time for passport validity, possible visa requirements, and the time-zone gap between Antigua and Pointe-a-pitre. International itineraries are quoted in local time at each end, so a "midnight" departure in Antigua typically lands the next morning in Pointe-a-pitre. Customs clearance happens on first arrival in the destination country.
On the day of operation, the ANU to PTP direction lifts off heading south, then the great-circle track curves to compensate for the Earth's rotation. The return PTP to ANU sector heads north out of the gate, with 2 operators on file for the inbound side. Combine the two operator lists for a full picture of the city pair's competitive landscape.

Reading this route page
The operator list reflects scheduled-route filings in the OpenFlights dataset, not real-time availability. A carrier appearing here publishes a scheduled service on this sector. It isn't a live timetable, and the actual flight numbers, frequencies, and aircraft types shift season to season. For booking and current schedules, cross-reference the airline page above with the carrier's own website.
Distance here is the great-circle arc between the two airports' published coordinates. Real flight tracks wander off that line because of wind, ATC routings, oceanic crossings, and political airspace constraints. Block time is an estimate covering ground taxi, climb, cruise at typical jet speeds, and descent. Real block times shift with aircraft type, weather, and traffic, so treat the stat-strip number as a planning indicator rather than a published flight time.
