Overview

The Bahamas is a Caribbean-style paradise of 700 islands — turquoise water, white-sand beaches and easy island-hopping. Nassau and Paradise Island are the best-known base for UK travellers seeking winter sun.

Best time to fly to the Bahamas

The dry season (December to April) has the best weather and is peak; the quieter summer months bring lower fares (with a chance of tropical showers). The price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.

Main gateway cities & airports

The main gateway is Nassau (NAS); some islands are reached via onward domestic flights.

Airlines and routes

British Airways flies direct from London to Nassau (seasonally), in around 9–10 hours; year-round, one-stop routes via the USA (with American Airlines or Delta) connect UK airports.
