Flights To The Bahamas...

Home of the balmy summer breeze.

Like most Caribbean islands, plane tickets to the Bahamas are more expensive December through March. If you'd like to enjoy great weather and great prices together, plan your visit and purchase your plane tickets to the Bahamas for late April or early May, after the high-season crowds have departed and before it gets too humid.

You'll need a valid passport along with a bahamas plane ticket to the Bahamas. If your passport is about to expire, or you don't have one, allow plenty of time before your scheduled departure -- as much as two months -- to get a new one issued. There are thousands of passport facilities throughout the country where you can apply.

While you need to bring a passport for your flight to the Bahamas, there's plenty you can leave behind. The general rule of thumb is to fill your suitcase or backpack with everything you think you'll need, and then reduce that amount by one-third. When packing for a Bahamas flight, choose clothing in darker colors -- it doesn't need as much washing -- and easy-to-layer outfits for any variations in the island weather. Most importantly, leave storage space for the inevitable Bahamas souvenirs!
