Vision Airlines Launches Direct Flights to Grand Bahama Island

by  Molly Fergus | Aug 19, 2011

Access to Grand Bahama Island’s crystal waters gets even easier (and cheaper!) this November, when budget carrier Vision Airlines launches direct flights to Freeport from five U.S. cities:

  • Baltimore Washington, MD: Monday, Thursday, from $99 each way (about $319 round-trip after taxes)
  • Fort Lauderdale, FL: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, from $39 each way (about $199 round-trip after taxes)
  • Louisville, KY: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, from $99 each way (about $319 round-trip after taxes)
  • Raleigh/Durham, NC: Monday, Friday, from $99 each way (about $319 round-trip after taxes)
  • Richmond, VA: Monday, Friday, from $99 each way (about $319 round-trip after taxes)

Even with the hefty taxes, this presents substantial savings over other carriers: In the first week of November, Continental offers the next-cheapest rate from Baltimore Washington for $555; Bahamas Air sells the second cheapest flight from Fort Lauderdale for $280; American sells the second cheapest flight from Louisville for $658; American also offers the second-lowest rate from Raleigh/Durham for $541; and United sells the next-lowest ticket from Richmond for $596.

Tickets for these routes, which kick off the first week in November, are now for sale on Vision’s website.
