Airlines within the Caribbean

Liat Airlines. (liat.com) Liat were the largest carrier in the area with regular flights to many of the local Caribbean Islands. They suffered badly with the Covid epidemic and the airline closed soon after the international flights stopped flying. We are pleased to say that Liat are once again flying and the Liat.com website should soon be online again. They should resume regular flights from Barbados to St Vincent so please visit the Liat website if you require connections between Barbados and St Vincent.

InterCaribbean Airways. (intercaribbean.com) A new airline offering a good choice of flights around the Caribbean. They fly from St Vincent to Barbados and vice versa on most days and offer very competitive prices.

SVG Air. (flysvgair.com) Most people use SVG for their connecting flight from Barbados to Bequia as it does connect on the same day, but if you are planning on spending a few nights in Barbados or St Vincent before you arrive on Bequia it is worth considering the cheaper Liat option. SVG Air are used to short connection times and will be waiting for you airside of the Barbados arrivals terminal. You do not need to pass through the immigration and arrivals hall and an SVG representative is usually there with your name on a board. The SVG check in desk is to the right before you enter the main arrivals hall. They will collect your luggage and expedite you through Barbados airport to the awaiting SVG flight. Please tie a yellow ribbon around your handle to ease identification for them. If your International flight is late SVG Air will wait as long as possible but please be aware that Bequia airport does not operate after dark so the SVG flight has to arrive and depart Bequia before dark. If your international flight is delayed, they may not have time to collect your luggage so it may be prudent to pack any essential items in your hand luggage. The delayed baggage will reach Bequia on the next flight. This does not happen often but it is better for SVG Air to transport you to Bequia and bring your luggage the next day rather than leave you stranded in Barbados due to your International flight being late.

Caribbean Airlines. (caribbean-airlines.com) Based in Trinidad, this airline flies to several International destinations including Toronto, New York, Miami, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. They also fly locally to St Vincent, Barbados, St Lucia and Grenada. They are worth considering if you can get a connecting Liat flight from Trinidad to St Vincent.
