A rising trend for many Indagare members—seeking to minimize both their time at airports and their carbon footprints—is to opt for the fewest flight connections as possible. But in the last year and a half, airlines have had to drastically reduce their routes, especially to the Caribbean, where getting to many islands already required several flights, drives and even the occasional boat ride.
Here is the latest on non-stop flights to the Caribbean, with flight times from two of our main East Coast hubs to a curated list of some of our favorite Caribbean islands.
