Business class flights to Antigua from the UK start from £1,874 return through our private fares. Antigua — famously said to have a beach for every day of the year — is a direct flight from Britain, around eight and a half hours to a flat-bed start to your Caribbean escape, with British Airways and Virgin Atlantic flying non-stop. As an ATOL-protected (10713) and IATA-registered specialist, Travel Business First accesses unpublished consolidator fares that consistently beat the prices you will find on comparison sites and airline websites.

One of the questions we are asked most often is simply how much it costs. Rather than a single headline figure, here are our latest lead-in business class return fares to Antigua broken down by departure airport, so you can see exactly what to expect from your nearest one:
| Departure Airport | Destination | Business Class From |
|---|---|---|
| London (LON) | Antigua | £1,999 |
| Manchester (MAN) | Antigua | £2,078 |
| Birmingham (BHX) | Antigua | £1,874 |
| Glasgow (GLA) | Antigua | £1,957 |
| Newcastle (NCL) | Antigua | £1,889 |
Fares are per person return, indicative and subject to availability and date. They move daily, so the best way to lock in the lowest price is to tell us your dates and let us check live.
Caribbean fares move with the season and departure point, so the spread above is worth a look — a Birmingham departure can undercut London on the right dates.
We are not only business class specialists — we can quote every cabin to Antigua, so you can compare and choose what suits your budget and your journey:
| Cabin | Return Fare From |
|---|---|
| First Class | £4,380 |
| Business Class | £1,999 |
| Premium Economy | £1,236 |
| Economy | £676 |
For the milestone holidays Antigua is so often chosen for, the step up to a flat bed and lounge access makes the journey itself part of the occasion.
The direct flight to Antigua is around eight and a half hours, and with a four-to-five-hour time difference, jet lag barely registers — you can be on the sand the same day. Business class here is about starting the holiday the moment you board, not enduring the journey to it.
For a honeymoon, an anniversary or a long-promised winter escape, a flat bed, fine dining and the Clubhouse or Galleries lounge turn the flight into the first chapter of the celebration.
What you can expect in the business cabin on this route:
Antigua is served direct from the UK and makes an ideal hub for exploring the wider Caribbean.
BA flies non-stop from Gatwick to Antigua (V.C. Bird) in its Club Suite, with a flat bed and easy connections onward to other islands.
Virgin’s Upper Class flies direct to Antigua, bringing the sociable cabin and superb Clubhouse lounge that make it a holiday favourite.
Antigua is a natural hub for hopping onward to Barbuda, Saint Lucia, the Grenadines and beyond — itineraries we can arrange on one booking.
December to April is the Caribbean peak — the driest, sunniest weather and the highest fares, with Christmas and February half-term the priciest of all. May, June and November offer the best value, with excellent weather just outside the busiest period.
The hurricane season runs June to November; serious disruption is uncommon, and the island remains popular and beautiful throughout, frequently at much lower fares.
| Period | Fares & Notes |
|---|---|
| May, Jun, Nov | Best value; great weather |
| Dec–Apr | Peak dry season — dearest |
| Jul–Oct | Quieter; lower fares |
| Christmas / Feb half-term | Most expensive |
Antigua’s 365 beaches are the headline, and they live up to it — from the calm, family-friendly sands of Dickenson Bay to the dramatic sweep of Half Moon Bay. But there is real character beyond the coast: English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tell the island’s Georgian naval history, and the Sunday party at Shirley Heights is a Caribbean institution.
It is an easy, welcoming island for British travellers, with excellent resorts and a relaxed pace. We can arrange resorts, villas and island-hopping onto a single ATOL-protected booking.
The price you see on a comparison site is the published fare — the airline's public rate card. We work from a different price list entirely: privately negotiated and consolidator fares that are not allowed to be displayed online. On a route like this, that gap is where the real savings live.
