If sun, surf and sipping rum drinks are on your travel agenda, book a flight to the Caribbean and let the aura of the islands enchant you. Don’t forget to pack your swimwear – the islands are known for their clear blue waters and eccentric marine life, making it the perfect spot to go snorkelling and diving. Whether your Caribbean flight lands you in the Bahamas, the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Aruba, Bermuda, Jamaica or one of the other Caribbean destinations, there’s something for everyone in the islands. With hundreds of islands to explore, the Caribbean is a haven for any type of traveller.
Extending from the eastern coast of the US past Mexico and down into South America, flights to the Caribbean Islands are frequent. The hard part is deciding what activity to pursue when you’re there. Book a cheap flight to the Caribbean for a weekend escape to thaw out from the winter cold, or plan a week-long diving trip. Can’t decide on just one island? Good news – Caribbean flights are available from all the islands or hop a ferry to a nearby resort. Whatever your reason for booking flights to the Caribbean, you’re sure to enjoy this island paradise.
Caribbean temperatures usually range between a very comfortable 24 and 30 degrees year round. It might be a bit cool in the early mornings and late evenings, but it warms up quickly. It can be humid, but the cooling trade winds make the climate very comfortable. The rainy season is in the autumn, and the amount of rain varies across the islands. Winters are dry, but you may encounter the occasional shower. The mountains see more rain. Hurricane season lasts from early June to late November.
Peak Season
Winter – from mid-December to mid-April – is the peak season for flights to the Caribbean, with the highest travel times around Christmas. Hotel rates and flights to the Caribbean are at their highest and reservations must be made in advance.
Off Season
The low season generally runs from mid-April through mid-December and when most travellers can find cheap flights to the Caribbean. If you can tolerate the hot and humid summer, there are some remarkable deals to be had on Caribbean flights and hotel rooms. However, many restaurants are closed for the season, and some hotels offer fewer facilities and catch up on any construction or remodelling work during the off season.
The Caribbean is made up of 29 separate island states and dependent territories. The transport systems, infrastructure, and economies of each nation vary widely. When booking Caribbean airfares, you should consider your travel options. This will obviously depend on which island you stay on, and whether or not you travel between different Caribbean islands. Travellers to Jamaica will find authorised taxi or tour coach services available. In Cuba, travellers can travel by train, bus, or taxi. Again, authorised taxis and tour coaches are available. If visiting Grand Cayman Island, you might consider hiring a car. It’s possible to drive around the entire island in around two hours, and car hire agencies are available at the Owen Roberts Intl. Airport.
If you have the time and the money, you might consider island hopping around the Caribbean. There are many ferry services and local air carriers that go between the islands. You can partake in all manner of water sports and boating trips. Many of the islands are mountainous and/or volcanic, so there are plenty of hiking opportunities. Or you could just lie on the beach.
