\"Guadeloupe\"<\/a>With the launch of cheap, direct flights from the US in 2015 and expanded dates and airports in 2016 – not to mention the full-page spread in NY Times Travel<\/i> in 2017 – Guadeloupe is becoming a popular destination for Americans. Here’s a bit of advice on getting here.<\/p>\n

If you live on the East Coast, you’re in luck, because extremely cheap flights can be found from New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), and Baltimore\/Washington (BWI), as well as from Fort Lauderdale\/Miami (FLL). If you’re not near one of these airports, you still might be better off flying to one of them to take advantage of this much cheaper second leg, courtesy of Norwegian Air.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Guadeloupe is an overseas French department, and up until 2015, 90% of its tourists were from mainland France. This means that French is the official language and English is not yet widely spoken. To make the most of your trip, I recommend that you learn French<\/a>.<\/p>\n
