LOCKDOWN IN MARTINIQUE AND GUADELOUPE
Dear Air Belgium Travellers,
Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
The French Antilles are experiencing a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases, resulting in a very significant reinforcement of measures and restrictions, particularly with regard to travel and tourist stays. As of 10 August, hotels and seasonal residences must close, and access to cultural sites and beaches is completely forbidden.
The new measures imposed by the French Authorities for stays in Martinique and Guadeloupe oblige us to deny boarding to passengers who wish to travel for any other purpose than the compelling reasons specified by the French regulations. Consult the official information on www.martinique.gouv.fr and www.guadeloupe.gouv.fr.
Every passenger with a reservation made via our website and affected by a change of flight has been or will be contacted directly by our teams, in order of priority based on the closest departure dates. A solution will be proposed to each of these passengers either by postponing their trip to a later date (within the same seasonality) or by a full refund of their booking.
IMPORTANT: Travellers who have booked their flight through a travel agency or tour operator will be informed directly by them.
Given the large number of enquiries to be processed, our teams do their utmost to respond to you as quickly as possible. All requests will be handled in order of priority, according to the closest departures.
We thank you for your trust and remain at your entire disposal,
The Air Belgium Team

Air Belgium offers you, in collaboration with FLOA Bank, the possibility to pay your tickets in 3 installments. It’s easy. Select the desired flights and click on the ‘3 installments payment’ button. You will only pay for the first third of your order when you make you reservation.
All you need is your VISA or Mastercard to book your flights. You don't need to provide any supporting documents or additional details.
A first payment will be made on the day of your reservation, equal to one third of the total amount. The other two thirds will be debited separately and respectively 30 days and 60 days after your booking. The 3 monthly installments will be charged to the credit card you provided when making your initial reservation.
The ‘extra bonus': for all bookings made until January 31th 2021, you will not pay any credit fees!
This payment facility is limited to individuals residing in Belgium, mainland France or the French overseas departments and territories. It is available for all bookings under €6,000.

Thanks for your trust and see you soon.

In order to prevent any risk to human food and animal feed and to guarantee healthy and good quality crops, the European Union (EU) places great emphasis on plant and crop protection. Consequently, the movement of plants from third countries is monitored in order to prevent harmful organisms from being introduced into, spreading and establishing themselves in the EU.
As a reminder, since 14 December 2019, the import of plant material from third countries is banned in all EU member states through an EU regulation.
This means that the import of plants, fruit, vegetables, cut flowers, seeds and other fresh parts, soil and certain types of wood from countries outside the European Union is prohibited. This ban on the import of plant material also applies to the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, Mayotte, Réunion, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint-Martin as well as the Canary Islands and Ceuta and Melilla.
However, the import of plant material may be authorised if it comes with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the country of origin.
There are also exemptions for certain types of fruit, including pineapple, coconut, durian, banana and dates, which can be imported from any third country.
High-risk products (potatoes, soil, leafs, citrus fruit etc.) are systematically prohibited.
The customs departments of the EU member states carry out checks.
Dear Passengers,
Good news for your (furry) friend! If your dog is a brachycephalic (or ‘short-headed’) breed, you can take him along with Air Belgium.
How does it work? All you need to do is complete and sign a waiver form. The form is mandatory, whether your pet travels in the cabin or hold.
You can find all the relevant information in the ‘Travelling with pets’ section on our website.
Happy travels, and we hope to see you soon!
Dear Passengers,
We would like to draw your attention to the customs regulations to observe for your journey to the French Antilles.
Although Fort-de-France and Pointe-à-Pitre are part of the French territory, the overseas territories like Martinique and Guadeloupe are in fact treated as non-EU territories.
As such, restrictions on the import of products from these territories do apply. Consequently, you are only allowed to bring back one litre of alcohol per person (rum, in particular).
For further information, please visit the Belgian Customs and Excise Service website or the French Directorate-General of Customs and Indirect Taxes portal.
We look forward to welcoming you on board soon!
