Airline flights are readily available to the Caribbean.
Luckily there are many airlines that fly to the Caribbean and there are numerous inter-island airlines and ferries to connect between the islands. There should be at least one month advance notice for you to get a good deal on a discount fare. In case you want to book your own flights on-line, we have provided airport code names for all the local airports in the itinerary for each week of the year. These codes change from time to time. So be sure to check that the name and location match correctly before booking.
As you can see from the weekly itineraries, your weekly arrival with us is always Sunday afternoon beginning your chosen week(s) and your departure from us is always Sunday morning at the end of the week(s). There are several different flight plans that might apply to any given week or weeks. Let's consider each different case:
1) Single island location with a round-trip to one airport.
In this case we stay at the same island for the whole week. So you fly into and out of the same airport as a normal round-trip airfare. Only a few of our weekly itineraries match this simple scheme. See Weeks 2, 8, 11, 19, 21, 24, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 35, 40, 46, 49.
2) Two island locations.
This is the more common case. During the week we make passage to the next island. Let's call the two islands "O" for origination island and "F" for final island. You can use several options. You can fly into "O" and return from "F". In this case your airfare consists of two one-way flights. You could also fly into "O" and at the end of the week you could connect from "F" back to "O" and return from "O". In this case your airfare is
round-trip to "O" with a one-way connection to "F". The connection could be a local flight or a local ferry. Likewise, you could fly into "F" then connect to "O" and then return from "F" at the end of the week. In this case your round-trip would be to "F" with a one-way to "O". Also see Customs Letter to see if you need a letter from the captain.
Most of the itineraries have a link for the ferry schedules. Before you commit to airline reservations be sure to make Arrangements with us to make sure we have space available. Also read Ground Transfers for info on taxi planning.
