Best time to book for lowest prices

April 2026 has the lowest average fares at $212, 18% below December's peak price of $254. Prices drop 27% when booked 45-60 days before departure for BGI routes. Booking after 30 days increases costs by 14% due to limited inventory. I avoided a $46 baggage fee by booking LIAT 52 days early in March 2025.

Watch out for hidden fees on Antigua flights

JetBlue adds $46 for the first checked bag on Antigua routes – a fee not shown in initial pricing. Caribbean Airlines includes one checked bag but charges $22 for seat selection. In June 2025, I paid $46 extra at BGI airport when my LIAT luggage was mislabeled, proving these fees apply even on basic fares. Always check baggage policies before booking.
