Essential Caribbean Travel Tips
Dry Season (Dec-Apr): Perfect weather but highest prices and crowds.

Direct flights: Available to major islands from London and Manchester.
Via US: More options but may require US visa/ESTA.
Island hopping: LIAT, Caribbean Airlines, and ferries connect islands.
Always carry both your passport and UK BRP. Most islands require:
