A word about travel research and booking:

You can book flights online or through a travel agent. There are also non-scheduled flights to Dominica that are not visible to you in your normal online search, so you might want to consider booking directly with the airline or using the services of a travel agent.

Tips on Booking to Dominica:

Start with the flight from one of the hubs of San Juan (SJU), St. Maarten (SXM), Antigua (ANU), Guadeloupe (PTP), Barbados (BGI), St. Lucia (SLU), and Trinidad (POS) to understand the connecting options into Dominica; then work from your originating city to make a connection to Dominica at the hub. In some cases, with interline and codeshare agreements, you will be able to make the booking on the airline or online travel agent site, but in other cases, you will need to inform your travel agent of the hub and airline options for them to make the booking.

TRAVEL INFORMATION

Baggage Allowance

Many people remain confused over the baggage allowance requirements for traveling to Dominica. The following is information that you must adhere to so as to ensure your travel to and departure from Dominica is hassle-free:

When traveling to and from Dominica, travelers should verify the baggage allowances with each of their airlines to determine terms and conditions for the following:

• Checked bags' total weight allowance, including the not-to-exceed weight
• Number of carry-on bags allowed and weight limitation
• Allowances for oversized and excess baggage
• Overweight and extra baggage fees, if applicable
• Very often, at the point of departure from the U.S., these restrictions are overlooked by the airline check-in agent. The restrictions are not overlooked upon departure from Dominica, partly because the planes used to travel to Dominica, while comfortable for the traveler, may have limited cargo space and weight restrictions.

Changes to Travel Requirements

Dominica wants to ensure that your travels to Nature Island are hassle-free. Due to changes made by the U.S. Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security, there are some changes in international travel requirements that you must be aware of and adhere to. All travelers, including U.S. citizens to and from the Americas, the Caribbean, and Bermuda, will be required to have a valid passport or other accepted document that establishes identity and nationality to enter and re-enter the United States.
