Grenada is a country made up of six small islands located off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago. As a former French and British colony, much of this Caribbean country s architecture and culture has been influenced by Europe. Travelers from all over the world visit Grenada for its expansive mountainous regions, beach resorts and fascinating cultural heritage. In fact, the Grand Anse Beach in St. George is world-renowned for its white sand and night life. Save money on airfare to Grenada to spend on accommodations and activities.

Step 1

Plan your Grenada vacation for outside of the country s tourist season. Tourists generally flood the country from December to May to avoid the winter conditions in their regions. By planning to visit outside of these dates, you can find a cheaper air fare. You also can find cheaper accommodations and avoid crowded resorts.

Step 2

Be flexible with your travel dates. Many online airfare websites like Kayak, Orbitz, and Travelocity will offer flexibility with travel dates to help you find the cheapest fares. Likewise, neighboring cities may offer a cheaper deal for flying out of their airport. A 30-minute drive may save you hundreds of dollars. Most flights to Grenada leave from Miami, so if you live in Florida save yourself some money by driving to Miami International Airport.

Step 3

Visit the websites of airlines that serve Grenada to find good deals. Air Jamaica, British Airlines, Air Canada, Condor, and Caribbean Airlines each operate a weekly flight to and from Grenada.

Book your airfare in advance. Last-minute deals may arise, but the best bet is to plan your trip at least one month in advance for finding the best deals. In addition, many websites like Expedia have travel packages that combine accommodations and car rentals with airfare that are less expensive then purchasing everything separately.

Buy frequent flyer miles. Numerous websites help broker transferable frequent flyer miles that can be purchased at a reduced price for the buyer. By adding miles to your airline frequent flyer account, you can cash in your miles for airline tickets.
