Carriacou flights - where your trip starts
Grenada does not have very extensive direct services, but if you cannot get a direct flight on the day you want there are many options for transitting in the region and making the link on the same day. From Britain and mainland Europe: British Airways, t 444 1664 fly twice a week, Excel Airways, t 439 3485, twice (contact Golden Caribbean) and Virgin Atlantic, t 1800 744 7477 once a week. Air Jamaica, t 1800 523 5585 via Jamaica. Condor, t 444 4363, flies weekly from Frankfurt in Germany during the winter season.From the USA: The only direct scheduled flight from the North American mainland is through Air Jamaica, t 1800 523 5585, which flies from New York. You can also fly to a number of American cities via their hub in Montego Bay. It is also easy to make connections through Barbados with a number of US carriers. American Airlines route most of their Caribbean services via their hub at San Juan in Puerto Rico, from where there are inter-Caribbean flights on American Eagle, t 444 2222. From Canada: There are no scheduled services from Canada, but charter flights including Air Canada Vacations are available during the winter. It's worth noting that if you have difficulty finding a flight to Grenada, or there is no flight on the day that you want to travel, then it is possible to fly via Barbados, a regional hub from which there are many flights each day, including evening flights that leave after the scheduled arrival of the international services. If you are flying from North America it may be a more pleasant place to change planes anyway than San Juan. Turn-arounds can be tight, however, if there is any delay on the international leg, so be prepared to abandon your luggage if necessary and carry a spare set of clothes and your swimming costume in your hand baggage. South America: There are links twice a week to the island of Margarita off Venezuela onward connections to Caracas through Convisas, c/o DOP Co. Travel Agency, t 444 2732.
