Getting to Long Island, Bahamas


Note: Times of airlines change frequently, the times we listed are just rough estimates as what we have encountered while traveling.

The airport in Nassau is very small. From personal experience, it has taken us an average of 15 to 20 minutes to clear customs and another 10 to get to our next gate to catch our connecting flight onto Long Island. Please note: this is our personal experience, it may take others more or less time.

By Air: There are two airports on Long Island.
1) Deadman's Cay (LGI) and 2) Stella Marais (SML).
The villa owner normally flies into Deadman's Cay.
Shown below.
Deadmans Cay Airport

The best way to get to the villa is to fly into Nassau (NAS), then take BahamasAir ,SouthernAir , Sky Bahama's, or Pineapple Air to Long Island.

Another option is fly into George Town, Exuma (from Ft. Lauderdale, FL) via Continental. Then take a short flight over from George Town (GGT) to Stella Marais, Long Island (SML) (about $94 one way).
