It’s best known as the island where Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the New World.

But the beach-filled island of San Salvador in The Bahamas has long been under the radar of even the most passionate Caribbean aficionados.

Now, it’s getting easier to get there.

Bahamas national carrier Bahamasair is launching new weekly nonstop service from Miami to San Salvador, with the new route set to launch on Oct. 12.

The flights will be operated on a Boeing 737 aircraft with 120 seats, according to a statement from the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.
