Cheap Flights To Barbados

REDjet 'gets okay' to fly Trinidad route

The report is the latest twist in a three month-old saga that began with Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica denying entry to the carrier. It escalated to verbal brawling between Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders, accusations and denials, a flurry of political and bureaucratic meetings, questions about the safety of the airline’s 24-year-old fleet of passenger jets, and withering inter-island criticism by regional people both of their governments and of each other. The airline, owned by a consortium of Irish and Barbadian investors, had already received an air operator’s licence from the Barbados government. The Guyanese government, chaffing about high fares between the South American nation and its CARICOM neighbours and its testy relationship with Caribbean Airlines lost  little time in granting REDjet permission to begin operating the Bridgetown-Georgetown route. The airline maintained that it had already sought and received permission to fly the Port of Spain-Bridgetown route from the civil aviation authority, and invoked the name of a bilateral air services agreement that appeared to grant national carriers access to each other’s skies. But Lutchmedial and Warner said the airline had yet to file, receive Trinidadian permission to fly here and address safety concerns. But what began as an airline’s admission of a “breakdown of communication and understanding” later turned into charges of protectionism, as REDjet encountered first one, then another, then a further hurdle in its attempts to project its image and business model as the region’s first no-frills, cheap fares airline, which appeared to be modelled very closely in livery and likeness to the iconic Irish innovator Ryanair and the British easyJet. In June, the civil aviation ministers of Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica met in Port of Spain to discuss the airline’s approvals, during which Trinidadian authorities questioned the safety and maintenance of the carrier’s two MacDonnell-Douglas MD-82 which were operated by American Airlines. Photographs of the undercarriage of one of the planes were leaked to Trinidadian television station, suggesting that the local regulator had placed safety as its primary reason for denying the airline’s entry into the market. Apart from generating unprecedented press notice, REDjet’s entry into the aviation marketplace has already scored several coups in intra-regional travel beyond the low-cost model.

JetBlue adds another Barbados flight this summer | Cheapflights.com

If you’re one of those people who revels in festivals, here’s one you might have missed: Barbados’ annual Crop Over. From July 1 through August 1, a whole month, the Caribbean island is a perpetual state of party.

This fact isn’t lost on discount airline JetBlue. While the carrier already offers a daily morning New York flight to Barbados, this summer it’s laying on a second daily sojourn – the better to carry partiers to the epicenter of the action.

The extra New York flight to Barbados will operate July 14 through August 29. It’s scheduled to depart JFK at 11:00 p.m. and arrive Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown at 3:52 a.m. Don’t party too hard (or just plan to stay up) because the extra return Barbados to New York flight leaves at 5:00 a.m. and arrives JFK at 9:48. That puts you in position to connect to a number of JetBlue flights from the carrier’s Kennedy hub.

So what’s Crop Over all about? It dates back to the 1780s, when the island was one of the prime sugar producers on the planet. Today the festival is celebrated in quintessential Caribbean style with live soca and calypso music, dancing, arts and crafts, cultural presentations and non-stop partying. Crop Over’s grand finale comes on the last day of the doings, on August 1. It’s called Kadooment Day and is capped off with a parade, costumed revelers and plenty of rum.

Discount airline JetBlue isn’t the only way to get to Barbados from the Big Apple. American Airlines also offers nonstop New York flights to Barbados. It too flies from JFK.
