By
far the easiest and cheapest way to get to Barbados is by air.
The majority of British and Irish visitors travel on some sort of
two-week package tour that includes a charter flight to the
island. Alternatively a few airlines offer direct scheduled flights
from London, while some require stopovers in the US. There are no
direct flights from Ireland, but there are connections via London or
via New York and Miami. British Airways, Virgin and BWIA all fly
from London.
Visitors from the US have a good number of options. BWIA flies
non-stop out of New York, Miami and Dallas; American Airlines flies
non-stop from NY and Miami, while Air Jamaica flies out of LA, NY,
Chicago, Miami and several other major US cities. Vacation
packages , including airfare, accommodation and sometimes meals,
can be very good value.

BWIA flies to Barbados from Toronto, and Air Canada serves Toronto
and Montreal.
There are no direct flights from New Zealand or Australia, and
package deals are few and far between. Travelers from these
countries will need to fly to one of the major US gateways and pick
up onward connections from there.
The occasional cruise ship typically only docks in Barbados
for a day or two at most.
Airport departure tax
is presently B$25, payable at the airport when you leave, in local
currency only.
