THE VALLEY, ANGUILLA--(Marketwired - November 02, 2016) - Travel to Anguilla has just become easier and more convenient than ever with the publication of Seaborne Airlines' new and expanded scheduled service to the island.

Starting on Thursday, November 10, 2016, scheduled service from San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (SJU) in Puerto Rico to Anguilla's Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) will operate five days a week, up from three days, and includes additional morning and evening flights to facilitate traffic coming from the west coast of the United States and from the United Kingdom.

Seaborne has also announced a new code share agreement with Delta Airlines, which allows for a seamless connection via San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (SJU) in Puerto Rico to flights into Anguilla's Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA).

"Seaborne Airlines is a valued partner in our mission to expand and improve access to Anguilla," said Donna A. Banks, Chairperson of the Anguilla Tourist Board. "This new schedule will facilitate arrivals for visitors from all our source markets. The new Delta codeshare, which complements those already in place with JetBlue and American Airlines, will make it easier to locate flights to Anguilla on all the major online booking platforms."

About Anguilla

Tucked away in the northern Caribbean, Anguilla is a shy beauty with a warm smile. A slender length of coral and limestone fringed with green, the island is ringed with 33 beaches, considered by savvy travelers and top travel magazines, to be the most beautiful in the world.

Anguilla lies just off the beaten path, so it has retained a charming character and appeal. Yet because it can be conveniently reached from two major gateways: St Martin and Puerto Rico, and by private air, it's a hop and a skip away.

Romance? Barefoot elegance? Unfussy chic? And untrammeled bliss?

Anguilla is the answer.
