Caribbean Flights Are Getting Cheaper

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - March 5, 2017

Flights to the Caribbean are getting cheaper, according to the latest report from Airlines Reporting Corp., a travel intelligence firm.

Average ticket prices across the Caribbean’s most popular destinations have fallen, with only flights to Punta Cana seeing an increase.

So what’s the cheapest average ticket to the Caribbean? Flights to Puerto Rico, which were down to $438.58 according to Airlines Reporting Corp.’s latest numbers.

 

The top destinations in the Caribbean as measured by airline ticket transactions were Cancun, followed by San Juan, Punta Cana, Montego Bay, Nassau and Santo Domingo.

Here’s how their average prices stacked up:

Of course, this data is based on the highest-volume destinations.

Some destinations like the French Caribbean island of Martinique are seeing significantly reduced airfare on low-cost carriers like Norwegian (for as low as $79 each way).

Results were based on roundtrip air tickets purchased from US travel agencies to destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico.
