About flights to Anguilla
Anguilla doesn't attract the package-holiday crowd. The travelers landing at AXA tend to arrive knowing exactly what they came for — privacy, genuinely white sand, and restaurants that could hold their own in any major city. Most are flying in from the USA, which accounts for three of the ten non-stop international routes serving the island. A few come from neighboring Sint Maarten or St. Kitts, hopping over for long weekends. This is a small island with a very specific pull, and the people who find their way here usually come back.
Why visit Anguilla?
Anguilla is roughly 16 square miles, which sounds limiting until you realize the island has 33 beaches — more coastline per square kilometer than almost anywhere in the Caribbean. Shoal Bay is the one that photographs don't do justice to; the water is so clear it looks digitally altered in person. Beyond the beaches, the food scene carries genuine weight. Chefs from New York and London have opened serious restaurants here, not outposts but passion projects. The island also runs quietly during hurricane season, which means late summer and fall bring dramatically lower prices and almost no crowds. For travelers who've done the louder Caribbean islands and want something more considered, Anguilla tends to be the answer they land on.

Tips for travelers heading to Anguilla
Everyone lands at Wallblake Airport — IATA code AXA — because it's the only commercial airport on the island. There's no confusion about which terminal you're heading to. If you're connecting through Sint Maarten, the ferry from Marigot Bay across to Blowing Point is a legitimate and often scenic option that many regulars prefer to the short flight. Peak season runs December through April, when rates at the better properties climb steeply. The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, though US dollars are accepted almost everywhere. British nationals don't need a visa; Americans receive a stamp on arrival valid for 90 days.
