Many major airlines from both America and Europe fly to Trinidad’s Piarco International Airport and Tobago’s Crown Point International Airport. Among them are American Airlines, British Airways, Liat, Caribbean Airlines, Delta, and Lufthansa. Discounted airfares are available from consolidators such as TravelSpan, though flight days and times are limited if you go that route.

Visitors to Tobago can either fly directly there or fly into Trinidad and either take a commuter plane to Tobago that takes under an hour or a high-speed ferry service that takes two and a half hours. Rates for the ferry vary but are generally between $10-$15 (US). Vehicles are allowed on ferries and the cost is roughly $75 (US) for a round trip fare.
