Book Cheap Flights to St Vincent, St. Vincent and The Grenadines
The peak time to visit St Vincent is from December to April. The temperature here is consistent at 84-88 deg F throughout the year but it would be best to visit here during this time because a number of festivals (like Bequia Music Festival and Mustique Blues Festival) would spice up this beautiful Caribbean island. It would be best to book your tickets well in advance before this season starts to avoid last minute rush and hefty prices. If you’re looking for a budget option here, you can visit it during the rainy month of November. It would be much damper, and with a subjugated ambience and almost zero festivities but you would get hefty discounts on flights and accommodation.
The island is served by ET Joshua Airport. It was earlier known as Arnos Vale Airport because it is located in Arnos Vale on Saint Vincent island. The Airport is a hub for Grenadine Airways, Mustique Airways and SVG Air to offer scheduled flights to other Caribbean destinations like Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Port of Spain, Saint Lucia-Vigie, Bequia, Canouan and Union Island.
