Caribbean airlines encourage travelers to `island hop'.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Jay Clarke
For most vacationers, visiting the Caribbean means going to one island and staying there. Now some airlines are making it easier to sample more than one of the region's intriguing isles on the same trip.
Air Jamaica, for one, has come up with a couple of special deals for travelers.
"We want people to think of the Caribbean as more than one destination," said Allen Chastanet, vice president of marketing for the airline.
Under the airline's Island Hopping program, travelers can visit two islands for the price of one.
A vacationer can fly to Jamaica, stay over for some days, then continue to any of the other islands served by the airline _ Barbados, Bonaire, CuraCao, Grand Cayman, Grenada, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos or the Bahamas. Travelers pay only the fare to the most distant destination; no charge is made for the Jamaica stopover, except for air-related taxes which can hover around $100.
Among those who use the program, Chastanet said in a phone interview, are honeymooners. "They fly into Jamaica with the wedding party for the ceremony, then go off on their honeymoon to another island."
