Canada Martinique

Is there any way to do a 7 day package (or 14) from Montreal or
Toronto or wherever in Canada to Martinique without having to fly on
the very horrible Transat Airlines. The only package I have seen from
an agency in Montreal has been on Transat. I don't want to spend 5
hours in the air in very cramped quarters. I am 6 ft 4.....240 lbs.
Air France flies I believe from Miami to Martinique but I haven't
found any packages tied to this flight ( flight + Hotel). If you know
of an American Air Lines, Air Canada, Air France etc etc package
please post. Flying from Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland or thereabouts
would be an option as well.........

Thanks

Good question, but unfortunately I don't think there is. All airlines leave
from Florida or Puerto Rico as far as I know.
I would be interesed in this info. also.

Thanks

The airport on St. Barts is short with a mountain in front. No passenger
jets from the US can land there. If Air France has a flight from Miami then
there are flying some small turboprop in. What most people do is to fly to
St. Martin and then transfer to a small plane to get there. Numerous
airlines fly to SXM. Then look for SXM -> SBH.

Air Canada flies direct to Guadeloupe from Montreal, last I
checked. You can definitely connect there. Beware that you
will pay for the privilige of scheduled airline service, so
don't expect the same rates. Just enjoy the comfort.
