Barbados, with its boutique hotels, uncrowded beaches, charming shops, and mouthwatering local delicacies like bread-and-two and cutters, is truly a destination like no other. Known for its seamless blend of elegance, laid-back charm, and stunning coastlines, this island paradise is now easier to reach, thanks to Delta Air Lines’ latest expansion.
Delta has recently launched daily nonstop flights from Atlanta to Barbados, with services kicking off late last month. And in just a few weeks, the airline will begin offering once-weekly flights on Saturdays from New York’s JFK Airport to Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport.
