Business & First Class Flights to Nassau

The nonstops are narrowbody flights with recliner First Class on American from Miami, Charlotte, Dallas and New York; Delta from Atlanta, New York and Boston; and United from Newark, Houston and Chicago. JetBlue flies from New York, Boston and Fort Lauderdale without Mint; Bahamasair and Southwest fly without a premium cabin. From Miami the flight is barely long enough for a drink, so the front cabin's value is entirely on the ground — priority handling, lounge, bags — and in the return: Nassau's US preclearance means you clear immigration and customs before boarding, land as a domestic passenger and connect without another queue. British Airways flies lie-flat from London via Grand Cayman for clients combining the two.

The airport is on the western end of New Providence: Cable Beach and Baha Mar are 15 minutes, downtown Nassau 20, and Paradise Island — Atlantis, the Ocean Club — 25 minutes across the bridge. The Out Islands are the reason many clients fly through Nassau: Harbour Island (via North Eleuthera) is a 25-minute flight, the Exumas 35 minutes, Andros and the Abacos similar, on Bahamasair or charter, and we book the connection with the flight times in mind.

December through April is the dry season and the peak; Christmas–New Year, Presidents' Day and spring break are the most expensive weeks, and Junkanoo on Boxing Day and New Year's Day fills the city. May and early June are warm and good value. Hurricane season runs June to November, with August through October the highest risk and the lowest fares — our $900 starting fare from Miami is the lowest premium fare on our site.
