If you are planning to go to Martinique for your next vacation, you will find in this article all the information you need to organize your flight, the airports of departure and arrival, as well as the price of plane tickets to Martinique!

The airports in Martinique

There is only one airport in Martinique. Thus, you can't go to the wrong airport when you book your tickets. It is the international airport of Martinique-Aimé-Césaire (FDF), which is located in Fort-de-France.

Travel time from France

If you have decided to fly from France, you should know that you will have to go through Paris, and particularly through Orly airport, as this is the only one with direct flights to Fort de France airport.

However, as the table below shows, it is possible to leave from the airport closest to your home and then take a connection from Orly airport.

The exceptions to this rule are the airports of Beauvais and Carcassonne, from which you will not find any connections. However, in the case of Beauvais, you will only need to connect to Paris, and from Carcassonne, you have the option of taking off from Toulouse or Montpellier.

If you have chosen a connection, be careful with your arrival airport once in Paris, because in some cases, you will have to change between Roissy and Orly.

This is not really desirable, as it will make you lose time and may cost you a lot of money if you decide to take a cab or public transport. In this case, it is better to reach Paris by train or by car.

You have decided to take the car to go to the airport? Remember to reserve your parking space in advance. Parking at Paris-Orly is among the most expensive in the country, especially if you have not reserved or if you are leaving during a school vacation.
