Beginning November 11, 2011, Vision Airlines will provide non-stop jet service to Grand Bahama Island from a number of US cities, including Richmond, Virginia; Louisville, Kentucky; Greensboro, North Carolina, Baltimore, Maryland and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Using a 136 seat Boeing 737-300 aircraft, Vision Airlines will add some 100,000 available seats annually to Grand Bahama Island in its first phase of operations. As a result, Grand Bahama Island will once again be available to these familiar gateways offering 5 day/4 night packages ranging from $449.00 to $549.00, including air. This resumption of non-stop jet service ends a seven-year break in service previously provided by Grand Bahama Vacations, via the former Laker Airways. Established in 1994, Vision Airlines, is the US' newest big jet, low-cost carrier. It has flights to five Florida vacation destinations from 15 southern US cities and Niagara Falls, New York.

First $2.00 round-trip airfares from Fort Lauderdale and $29 airfares from Virginia, now they're flying in all kinds of travel agents from the new cities and teaming with Grand Lucayan to introduce them to the island. Only good news in this. http://www.bahamaislandsinfo.com/in...hama&Itemid=146
