Flights to Tobago:
|
Of course, this is what keeps the island somewhat less developed than other Caribbean islands - which is a good thing in my opinion.
The most common place for a connection is its sister island Trinidad, which is just a short plane ride away.
Trinidad has quite a few direct flights from other gateways so this will likely be a stop for you.
Trinidad and Tobago Airports
If you first land in Trinidad, their airport is the Piarco International Airport (airport code POS), about 20 miles from the capital city of Port of Spain.
The airport on Tobago is the Crown Point International Airport (TAB), located on the southwestern end of the island and about 7 miles from the main city of Scarborough.
Flights from Trinidad to Tobago
If you do have to make a connection from Trinidad to Tobago, there are frequent flights to get you there.
The main airline making these runs is Caribbean Airlines (formerly BWIA) with over 20 flights scheduled per day.
The first departure is scheduled at 5:45 am from POS and the last flight from Trinidad to Tobago is scheduled for 9:30 pm.
The flight takes 25 minutes and the current fare is $24 each way.
Tobago Flights From the US and Canada
If you are coming from the US, American Airlines offers 2 non-stop flights daily from Miami (MIA), one in the morning and one in the evening.
If you arrive on the later flight you will have to stay overnight in Tobago since you miss the last scheduled transfer from Trinidad to Tobago.

(We had to stay overnight when we went to Tobago since we were on the second American flight.
I for the life of me can't remember the name of the place we stayed. It was a little guesthouse and was close to the airport. The owner picked us up (for an extra fee if I remember correctly) and dropped us off in the morning.
If you do have to stay overnight in Trinidad, just inquire with the hotel you are staying at on Tobago. They usually have an affiliation with someplace in Trinidad and should be able to recommend a few options.)
American also offers a direct flight from San Juan to Port of Spain, Trinidad. If you get this flight, you will also have to stay overnight in Trinidad.
Continental currently offers 1 non-stop a week from Newark (EWR) on Saturday afternoon with more frequent direct service from its hub in Houston (IAH).
