Flying London to Antigua: Do You Cross the Bermuda Triangle?

Flying London to Antigua: Do You Cross the Bermuda Triangle?

No. A direct flight from London (LHR/LGW) to Antigua (ANU) does not pass over the Bermuda Triangle.

Geography Check

• Bermuda Triangle vertices: Miami (FL), Bermuda, San Juan (Puerto Rico). Covers western North Atlantic.
• Antigua: 17°N, 61°W — in the Eastern Caribbean, southeast of Puerto Rico.
• Great-circle route LHR→ANU: Flies SW over Ireland, Atlantic, passing west of Azores, then south of Bermuda—skirting the Triangle's eastern edge.

Visualizing the Path

The flight track stays east of 60°W until descending into the Caribbean. The Bermuda Triangle's eastern boundary is ~65°W (Bermuda). You pass east of Bermuda, well outside the triangle.

What If You Connect?

If routing via Miami (MIA) or San Juan (SJU), you'd enter the triangle—but direct flights (British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, ~8.5 hrs) avoid it entirely.

Myth vs. Reality

The Bermuda Triangle's "mystery" is largely debunked—statistically no more incidents than comparable ocean areas. But even if it weren't, your flight to Antigua doesn't go there.
