Travel Tips
Book Flights in Advance**: Since Bequia is a small island, direct flights to Port of Spain may be limited. Book your flight well in advance to secure the best rates and preferred travel times. Check local airlines such as SVG Air and LIAT for schedules and availability.
Plan for Layovers**: Be prepared for potential layovers, as there may not be direct flights. Common layover locations include St. Vincent or Barbados. Ensure you factor in extra time for connections when planning your travel itinerary.
Check Luggage Restrictions**: Different airlines may have varying luggage policies. Confirm weight limits and fees for checked and carry-on baggage to avoid unexpected charges. Consider packing light to make moving through airports and border crossings easier.
Arrive Early for Check-in**: Allow plenty of time for check-in and security checks, especially at smaller airports like Bequia’s. Arriving at least two hours before your flight is advisable to ensure a stress-free boarding process.
Be Prepared for Customs**: When traveling from Bequia to Trinidad and Tobago, be ready for customs and immigration procedures upon arrival in Port of Spain. Have your passport, any necessary travel documents, and proof of onward travel handy to expedite the border crossing process.
