Good news for people in range of O'Hare airport...effective mid December, Cayman Airways is adding non-stop service from Chicago.

To celebrate this, hoteliers and other tourism people from Cayman are descending en masse on Chicago the week of Oct 20th to make sure all your Travel Professional know.

For my own resort (The Reef), we will be offering some great inclusive 3 and 4 night winter break packages...and I'm sure other Cayman properties will do similar.

Any questions on this or anything else to do with Cayman, feel free to post any questions for me, I'm kind of an unofficial Cayman ambassador

Oh, please don't email unless it is a really specific question, as answers to posts will allow all readers to gain information.

Hello Tom. I've been to GC twice and love it. How about air options from New York City (or Newark, NJ)? Any news there?

Thanks

Cayman does have non-stop service on Continental from EWR (Newark)

AA offers one-stop (in Miami) service from JFK and BOS.

US Air offers non-stop service (with lots of inbound connections) from Charlotte

Delta offers non-stop service from Atlanta

Northwest from Minneapolis (seasonally, I think)

Air Canada from Toronto

British Airways from London

Cayman Airways has non-stop service from Miami, Houston (IAH), Fort Lauderdale (great for connecting with cheap fares on JetBlue, SouthWest etc)...and now Chicago.

I'm glad I read this post. I had no idea Continental flew directly to Grand Cayman. We've been thinking about GC for our next trip. However, we weren't too keen on a stop-over because we'd be traveling with a 2-year-old. Thanks!

I mean directly from Newark.

Just got back from a 10-day break on the island. Glad they changed the plan and are flying out of O'Hare and not Midway as I originally heard. I won't fly anything else from now on. Sorry AA! I'd rather be on the ground in Cayman in 4 hours, rather than dashing through Miami airport.

Northside Sue...tell me about it ! I'm going to Chicago from Cayman Monday morning for the week to promote Cayman to area travel agents and have to hustle through immigration (as a "non-resident alien" in time to get a connection that is 90 minutes from one flight to another.

Roll on non-stop flights in December
