Flights to Barbados

We have regular flights to Barbados departing from London with an average flight time of 8 hours and 50 minutes.

We fly to Barbados from London Heathrow and London Gatwick, with a number of different flight times offered every week to suit your schedule.

The most popular time to visit Barbados is in the dry season which starts in December and goes to May. The wet season runs from June to November so if you’re looking for the best prices, your best bet is to go between July and October. Even though this is within the wet season, historically the weather is still warm and sunny with storms rarely hitting the island. Keep an eye out for our special offers.

Barbados’ peak season is between December and May. If you travel between June and November, you’ll save on flights and accommodation. You can also save by searching for charming hotels on the quieter south coast or self-catering apartments. Head to where the locals go for food and entertainment and you’ll be guaranteed a more authentic experience at affordable prices.

Once you touch down in Barbados, you’ll be landing at Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI), located on the south-east coast of the island – 13km from Bridgetown and a 30 minute drive. Take an authorised taxi from outside the airport, easily identified by a yellow sticker, or opt for one of the hourly buses that take you straight to Bridgetown’s city centre. Or to avoid queues, you can also pre-book an airport transfer to your resort or hotel. Barbados is relatively small so you can easily get around the island using one of the many bus routes.

If you want to explore the island on your own schedule, simply hire a car with British Airways and collect Avios on every rental.

If you’re looking for a picture-perfect Caribbean getaway, you can’t go wrong with Barbados. A true paradise in the sun, there are countless white sandy beaches with crystal blue waters, secluded coves and idyllic palm trees. But there’s so much more to the island than what you see. Enjoy the laid back Caribbean culture, soak in the lively atmosphere with the sound of reggae and calypso music, socialise with locals at one of the famous rum shacks and sample traditional Bajan cuisine and fresh seafood at a beachside cafe. Book your next holiday to Barbados with British Airways.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders may require a visa to visit the Caribbean, depending on how long they stay. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
