All direct flights to Barbados from the UK & Ireland

Flight summary

Barbados is one of the most popular islands in the Caribbean for British tourists. Scheduled direct flights to Barbados are available from both Manchester (Virgin Atlantic) and London Gatwick (Virgin Atlantic and British Airways).

The market for charter flights to Barbados is dominated by Thomson Airways. They offer a reasonable range of year-round flights to Barbados from airports like Birmingham and Glasgow International. Thomson also nominally list airports like Exeter or Newcastle as offering Barbados flights when actually these routes only operate as little as once or twice each year, and often only to serve a particular cruise package.

Is it possible to find cheap flights to Barbados?

Price wise, flights to Barbados can be reasonably competitive when paired with other Caribbean hotspots - for example fares to Barbados are usually around the same as flights to Antigua. Flights to most of the smaller islands in the region tend to be quite a bit more expensive because they are usually routed via Antigua or Barbados, thus putting up the price.

Competition from holiday specialist Thomson also keeps BA and Virgin on their toes, so bargain flights can certainly be found, especially out of peak season.
