Direct Flights to the Caribbean

Is there an eas way to find out which airlines fly out of DC (either Dulles or Reagan airports)direct to the Caribbean. It seems rare that any flights go out to islands such as Bahamas, Antigua, Caymen Islands, etc.

Am I just looking in the wrong places? If so, where can I look?

Log on to Orbitz.com and do a search for your flight city to city. It will show you which airlines go non-stop. Then you can book directly on that airline's website. Good luck!

Thanks Bonn. That's not exactly what I am looking for. I was looking more for a table that lists direct flights to the Caribbean from those airports. Not a specific flight.

Here's the situation I am trying to figure out...I want to go to the Caribbean 6-8 months from now, but it's hard to see all the dates over a few months period to figure out when the least expensive flights are available. Also, because during some seasons there are non-stop flights and other times not. Very frustrating.

Spirit Airlines operates direct flights from Washington to airports in the Bahamas. American Airlines operates flights from dulles to Antigua.

I don't think you'll find the kind of table you're looking for. Just log into a travel website and feed your destination. You can use the following form: http://www.cheapoair.com/Default.aspx?tabid=3305

There aren't going to be any flights from National Airport to the Caribbean. I'm pretty sure of that. Since Dulles is a United hub, it might have a flight or two to some destination, maybe the Bahamas. Check United's website. The only thing is, United just doesn't have much of a presence in the Caribbean. I can't see where you'll find anything non-stop. I think you'll have to make a connection somewhere.

Tango,

There are direct flights to St. Thomas from Washington. I would then recommend that you ferry over and stay on St. John, the most beautiful and laid back island in the caribbean. We are going in August for our 12th trip since 1999. You won't be disappointed.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Air Jamaica to Jamaica (obviously) and USA3000 (kind of a charter carrier with scheduled service)to Domincan Republic and Cancun from BWI.
