Regional carrier LIAT Air has launched a new “Early Bird” advanced purchase promotion aimed at making travel across the Caribbean more affordable for price-conscious passengers.
Speaking recently on Observer AM, Sales and Marketing Supervisor Tito Thomas said the initiative rewards travellers who book flights at least 30 days in advance.
Under the promotion, one-way fares across the airline’s network start as low as US$111 for travel between St. John’s and Basseterre.
Thomas said the campaign is geared toward leisure travellers, students and families who typically plan ahead for major regional events.
“The airline has already seen a surge in bookings for upcoming highlights such as the St. Kitts Music Festival and Spicemas,” he noted.
“In the Caribbean, we are very price sensitive and price conscious,” Thomas said, adding that the airline’s goal is to provide reliable service and “excellent value” for travellers willing to plan their trips early.
By encouraging advance bookings, the airline hopes passengers will avoid the higher costs typically associated with last-minute travel.
The Early Bird promotion requires a minimum booking lead time of 30 days, but there is no minimum stay requirement. However, travellers must complete their trip within a maximum stay period of one month, making the offer suitable for extended vacations or family visits across the region.
Thomas also explained that while the promotional fares are non-refundable, passengers will still be able to reschedule their flights if necessary.
Operating from its base in St. John’s, LIAT Air currently serves several destinations including Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago and the British Virgin Islands, as well as Sint Maarten.
The airline’s network also includes dual-airport service in Guyana—serving both Eugene F. Correia International Airport and Cheddi Jagan International Airport—along with service to Dominican Republic through Santo Domingo and Punta Cana, and routes into Jamaica.
