Commuter routes and charter planes make island-hopping in The Bahams quick and easy

Print this Article

The Bahamas is a country made up of hundreds of islands, and visitors hoping to get the most authentic experience will be eager to see as many as possible. Fortunately, the popularity and availability of air travel makes the trip a quick, convenient jaunt from one island to the next.

All of the major islands and many of the smaller surrounding islands have some sort of runway, although they might be a far cry from what many vacationers have come to expect. In the smallest airports, the runways may not even be paved, but they still offer travelers access to quiet, more remote islands that are a great change of pace from the more tourist-y areas of Nassau or Freeport.

Ticket prices will fluctuate greatly, particularly in order to reflect the rate of fuel, but are generally rather affordable as they are intended for local commuters. Large groups may want to look into the availability of a charter plane, which could end up being the more cost-efficient method. Charter planes are also able to tailor a trip to your own schedule, which makes them a favorite with visitors who are impatient to see specific islands or towns.

Bahamasair is the official airline of the islands and they provide a number of already scheduled commuter flights to The Bahamas. Other major airlines tend to change their routes frequently, and the best advice for vacationers who are trying to make arrangements for a commuter flight would be to inquire at their Bahamanian departure airport (most likely in either Nassau or Freeport).

For more information about the availability and cost of charter flights to The Bahamas, travelers are encouraged to contact one of the following companies, all of which serve the Out Islands of The Bahamas.
