In a significant win for Caribbean travel, Caribbean Airlines has announced a brand-new route connecting San Juan, Puerto Rico and Dominica, while also ramping up flight frequency from Trinidad—a move poised to greatly enhance access to the island known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean.
The San Juan-Dominica connection reopens an essential gateway for travelers from the U.S. mainland and across the Caribbean, offering a seamless alternative for regional and international visitors.
The schedule is designed for maximum convenience: flights depart San Juan at 4:00 p.m., allowing time for inbound connections, while the return from Dominica takes off at 10:00 a.m., ensuring a smooth travel experience for both tourists and locals.
In addition to the San Juan launch, Caribbean Airlines is enhancing service between Port of Spain and Dominica, making the island more accessible from major markets such as New York and Toronto. Flights from Toronto to Dominica will now operate four times weekly southbound and twice weekly northbound via Trinidad—a substantial upgrade from the previous once-a-week schedule.
This increased connectivity supports Dominica’s broader vision of improved air access, including plans for a new international airport. The expected result? More tourism spending, better access for the Dominican diaspora, and a boost to the island’s growing reputation as a premier eco-tourism destination.
For those planning a visit, consider staying at Blue Whale Villa, a stunning oceanfront accommodation that blends modern comfort with breathtaking natural beauty. Perfectly situated for adventure and relaxation, it’s an ideal base for discovering all that Dominica has to offer.
Whether you’re coming for the waterfalls, the world-renowned hiking trails and diving adventures, or simply the serenity of island life, Dominica and Blue Whale Villa welcome you—now with more flight options than ever before.
