Caribbean Flights Are Getting Cheaper, According to Kayak 

Flights to the Caribbean are getting cheaper, according to a new report from travel portal Kayak.

The company’s latest Travel Trends Forecast says that prices on Caribbean flights are down 17 percent right now, year over year. 

“Airfare to the Caribbean is the cheapest KAYAK has seen in three years,” the company said. 

That includes significant reductions in prices on destinations including Dominica, where airfare is down by 21 percent; and Barbados, where fares have seen a 17 percent savings. 

It’s part of a broader, global reduction in flight prices, according to the company’s report. 

So what does that mean in the numbers?

Right now, according to an analysis on Google Flights, a nonstop flight between Miami and Barbados next month will cost you about $695 round trip. 

In the same period, a flight from Miami to Dominica will run you around $1,185 roundtrip. 

By comparison, a flight from Miami to Punta Cana is costing travelers as low as $423 in the same period. 

What about some other popular routes? Great fares abound, according to our analysis, significantly lower than what we were seeing about this time a year ago.

You can find peak-season rates from New York to Turks and Caicos right now for as low as $405 on Delta and $680 on JetBlue. 

In the same period, New York-Aruba flights on JetBlue are going for as low as $351, and $441 on Delta. 

What about Chicago to Montego Bay? We found peak winter travel fares as low as $490 on United, and $553 on American. 

Another great deal? United Airlines from Newark to Nassau in The Bahamas, which is going for $370 right now. 

Food for thought, but if Kayak is right, it certainly bodes well for the upcoming peak winter travel season in the Caribbean.
