Flying to Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados is easy. Since the late 1940s into early 1950s, the island has enjoyed daily non-stop flights from major cities across the world. Did you know two of these airlines still operate daily flights to Barbados?
In December of 2024, the island will celebrate 75 years of direct flights on Air Canada. And recently, the island celebrated 70 years of daily direct service with British Airways. American Airlines follows closely behind, servicing the island for just short of five decades.
These long-lasting relationships show the industry’s commitment to take you directly to paradise. Therefore, we present to you all Barbados direct flights from major cities.
Barbados Direct Flights from the United States
Our friends based in the United States are fortunate to have a total of 518 direct flights to our destination. The airlines offering these direct flights are American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue and United Airlines.
American Airlines flies to Bridgetown from two east coast cities: Miami and Charlotte. Miami International Airport is the hub for the Miami route with three daily direct flights. This airport accounts for the most passengers traveling to Barbados from the entire US.
On the other hand, the Charlotte route flies out of Douglas International Airport. This route will operate daily direct flights from December 5, 2024.
This fall, American Airlines will start two new flights to Bridgetown from New York City and Philadelphia. The flights will depart from John F. Kennedy International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport. Flights from New York will be daily, while the Philadelphia service will be once weekly.
JetBlue has the second largest market share of flights to Barbados. They offer direct flights from Boston Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Delta Air Lines operates daily out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, adding weekly flights from John. F. Kennedy in winter of 2024.
United Kingdom Direct Flights to Barbados
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic offer direct flights to Barbados for passengers based in the United Kingdom.
