Flights arrive at
Point Salines International Airport
, located on the southwest tip of Grenada, approximately five miles from the capital, St George's. American Airlines flies daily from the US while from the UK British Airways flies direct twice weekly and Monarch every Thursday.
Indirect flights
are offered by BWIA, via Trinidad and Air Jamaica via Montego Bay. Daily inter-island flights can be arranged with Caribbean Star and LIAT, both of which offer connections from Barbados, Trinidad and the rest of the Windward Islands.
Package tours can be an economical option as their combined airfares and accommodation prices are often cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Just Grenada (tel 01373/814214, ) offers flexible packages with accommodation ranging from luxury to self-catering.
Although flying is the quickest and easiest option for travelling between neighbouring islands, it is possible to travel by
boat
to Carriacou from Union Island, the most southerly of the Grenadine islands and under the jurisdiction of St Vincent. This journey, however, is only recommended for the adventurous as the one-hour trip can be quite rough. Other useful information
