Lucia, Grand Cayman, Barbados, Grenada, Aruba, a couple of the bigger islands in the Bahamas and Providenciales (Turks & Caicos) but you may find flight schedules are such that one or more of these may entail some long layovers.Īlso, March is still "High Season" in the Caribbean so expect to find some of the most expensive room rates of the year.
Other islands that can be reached non-stop from one or more US Airports include Antigua, St. If low airfare is a big priority for you look at Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Cozemel and Cancun as those destinations traditionally are among the least expensive to reach by air from the US simply because they are serviced by numerous airlines with multiple flights every day and they can be reached non-stop from most US International Gateway Airports. Be prepare to switch planes (or at least have a stop-over) in a US airport (such as DFW, ORD, MIA) in order to get to one of the bigger islands. the rule of thumb is the more legs you fly to reach your destination the higher your airfare is going to be. Now, coming from Seattle you are going to be faced with at least one two different flights (and possibly a overnight layover while on route) to reach a major islands plus at least one "island hopper" flight or ferry ride to get to a smaller "off the beaten trail" island. The smaller "non-touristy" islands don't have non-stop or direct flights from the the US or Europe since they rarely have airports big enough to handle any large planes so you have to take connecting flights on local commuter airlines which can add significantly to your travel costs. Generally speaking you'll find lower airfares to the more popular islands that are served by several different airlines - competition brings down prices.
Actually your thinking about airfare costs is a bit flawed.
