Houston To Bahamas Non-Stop Flights Will Launch In November

HOUSTON, TX — Getting from Houston to the Bahamas will get one step easier next month as Bahamasair will offer nonstop flights from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in Nassau, Bahamas. Essentially, this connects the 12th busiest airport (IAH) in North America with one of the top tourism destinations in the Caribbean.

The service will begin Nov. 16, 2017, with twice-weekly flights departing IAH at 8 a.m. every Monday and Thursday arriving in Nassau by 11:10 a.m., and departing from Nassau at 4 p.m. every Sunday and Wednesday arriving in Houston by 7:10 p.m.

Bahamas air will offer an introductory rate of $445 round trip including taxes, to make the island getaway inexpensive and convenient for the holidays. Passengers will receive complimentary refreshments, snacks, and their first bag checked free aboard a Boeing 737-500 Series Aircraft. Bahamas air also offers connections to 13 Bahamas Out Islands including Grand Bahama, Abaco, Eleuthera, Bimini and Exuma.

"We’re excited that Houstonians and residents throughout the region can experience the beauty and unique culture of The Bahamas without the hassle of a layover," said Hon. Dionisio D’Aguilar, Bahamas Minister of Tourism and Aviation. "Nassau is a great destination for all types of travelers, as well as the gateway to our Out Islands, and the new Bahamasair service will make planning a vacation to The Bahamas that much easier."

Nassau is quite famous for its luxury resorts, casinos, restaurants and shopping districts in The Bahamas. The islands also offer historical museums and culinary food tours, fishing, diving, snorkeling and boating. There are plenty of attractions and activities for families, couples, groups of friends and solo travelers to enjoy.

"Providing more travel options that offer beauty and splendor, such as that of The Bahamas, is part of the Houston Airport System’s mission," said Mario Diaz, Houston Airport Systems Director. "Partnering with Bahamasair is one more way we connect Houstonians with the wonderful cultures of the world."

"Bahamasair is delighted to offer residents of the Houston area reliable access to the gateway of paradise at a competitive price point," said Frederick Donathan, Director of Sales and Marketing of Bahamasair. "The launch of this new direct service is a step in the right direction to expand the airline’s international route network."
