Bahamas Air Travel: How To Book A Flight To The BahamasBahamas Air, (+1-242- 702-4100) is the national flag carrier of the Bahamas. They operate internationally from Cuba, the Turks and Caicos, and Florida. Bahamas Air is based out of Nassau, Bahamas at the Lynden Pindling International Airport. They provide domestic flights throughout the Bahamas. Other airlines that operate locally in the Bahamas are Southern Air (+1-242-377-2014/5) and Pineapple Air (+1-242-377-0140). Bahamas Express (754-200-0005) is a carrier based in Ft. Lauderdale that offers direct flights to many of the Bahamas islands. The best way to book your flight to the Bahamas is to use an online travel search engine, like Kayak.Com or Priceline.Com. They will compare hundreds of travel sites at once and give you a comprehensive price comparison. You want to book the flight to Nassau from your starting destination, no matter which island you are going to. If you search one of the smaller islands as your final destination, your flights will usually end up costing you more than if you book the flight directly to Nassau through an online travel site, and then book your flight from Nassau to your final island destination directly with one of the smaller Bahamas carriers listed above. For example, when Brian last flew from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA to Long Island,Bahamas - he booked a flight from New Orleans to Nassau on Delta for $350, round trip. Then, he called Pineapple Air and booked a flight from Nassau to Long Island for $200, round trip. The IMPORTANT thing to pay attention to here is TIMING! If your timing isn't just right, you will have to spend the night in Nassau and schedule your connecting flight for the next day. You must arrive in Nassau by NOON in order to catch a local flight to another island on the same day. Another option is to arrange your flight from your starting destination on a major airline to Ft. Lauderdale and catch a Bahamas Express flight directly to your final destination in the Bahamas, and bypass Nassau altogether. Find out which works best for you.
