Travel Tips
Book Your Flight Early**: The most efficient way to travel is by air. Look for flights from Stella Maris Airport (SML) to Treasure Cay Airport (TCB) well in advance. Use comparison sites to find the best deals, and consider booking directly with airlines for better customer service.
Check the Schedule**: Flights to Treasure Cay may not run frequently. Confirm the flight schedules ahead of time, and aim to arrive at the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure to avoid any last-minute issues.
Luggage Restrictions**: Review the airline's baggage policy carefully as weight restrictions may vary. Opt for soft-sided luggage as it’s easier to handle in smaller aircraft. Carry essential items and valuables in your carry-on.
Prepare for Border Crossings**: If your journey involves any international travel or layovers, ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay, and check visa requirements ahead of time.
Consider Ground Transportation Options**: If you opt for a road trip instead, renting a car can provide flexibility. However, plan your route in advance and factor in travel time, as driving distances in the Bahamas can be longer than anticipated due to road conditions.
