Music travel in the Bahamas moves in both directions, and both are awkward on a scheduled airline. Artists and audiences fly in for concerts and festivals at the Nassau resort venues and across the Out Islands, and Bahamian audiences fly out to shows in Florida and beyond.
Junkanoo is the obvious one. The parades in Nassau on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day pull people back to the islands from all over, and those are two of the busiest travel dates in the Bahamian calendar.
Touring
Tour routing does not respect airline schedules. A charter aircraft can hold the band, the crew and enough of the equipment to make the next date, and it leaves when the show finishes rather than the following lunchtime.
Full-aircraft cargo charter is available for the equipment that will not travel with the passengers, and for production kit moving separately from the touring party.
Going to the Show
For audiences, the appeal is simpler. Fly down for a concert weekend, stay where you like, and come back on your own schedule. Group sizes run from a handful of friends on a light jet up to airliner-size aircraft, and we will size it to the group rather than the other way round.
What We Need to Know
Every flight between the United States and the Bahamas is international, so every passenger needs a valid passport, and your first landing has to be at a designated airport of entry.
Around Junkanoo and the larger festival dates, aircraft and ramp space both get tight, so book as far ahead as you can. Your advisor handles the arrangements, and we measure every option against safety, privacy and comfort.
