The Caribbean is one region high on the map for British travelers seeking a post-covid holiday. The top reasons for this include the entry requirements and relatively small number of tourists! Entry requirements are straight-forward and travelers holding a valid British passport don’t need a visa to enter most Caribbean countries, such as Belize and Barbados. Not to mention, another big draw to the Caribbean is the weather. Expect warm sunshine with a cool breeze and clear blue skies, while the UK faces the onset of winter. And now, British Airways is making it easy for visitors to enjoy paradise with its direct flight from London Heathrow to Bridgetown, Barbados. For the month of November, flights will run every day except for Wednesdays and Fridays. As of December, service increases to daily on a Boeing 777-200 aircraft; flight time is roughly 8 Hours and 50 minutes. Book flights here.
