I have some amazing news for all of my Bahamas-loving friends! Bahamasair Offers Miami to Bimini Direct Flights out of Miami International Airport! That's right, for the first time decades, you can now book direct flights to Bimini right out of Miami! I just attended the inaugural flight last week and it was so exciting!

This is huge news in the South Florida area, but also beyond our local travel market! Think of how many more visitors the lovely island of Bimini will receive once people know that they can hop right over to Bimini once their flight lands in Miami? Bahamasair offers Miami to Bimini direct flights is a really big deal!

It was a grand celebration, with snacks, announcements, speeches, a Junkanoo-style party through the airport terminal, and of course - a ribbon cutting ceremony!

I have never actually attended Junkanoo myself, but I have been to the museum in Nassau and know quite a bit about the Carnival-style celebration from friends who have attended. I am just absolutely in LOVE with their elaborate costumes!

The Bahamasair flight from Miami to Bimini offers four flights a week: Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. Now, be aware - that's one flight a day, so plan your trip to Bimini accordingly! I love the option to fly in for an extended weekend! Each plane seats 50 people, so it's entirely possible that flights will sell out if you don't book them far enough in advance.
