Caribbean Island hopping – why not Montego Bay (MBJ) and Nassau (NAS)

[Aliks]

Virgin makes a big play of “island hopping” with Barbados as a stopover en route to St Vincent or Grenada.

Virgin also flies to Montego bay via Nassau on Tu Th and Su so it would be great to have a stopover in Nassau and continue on to Montego Bay a few days later.

Unfortunately Virgin does not seem to offer this online as a bookable flight.

Does anyone know if this stopover is possible?

If Virgin do not have “fifth freedom” rights on NAS to MBJ they will not be allowed to sell it.

OK understood. They got the 5th freedom rights for St Vincent and Grenada in June 2023, but nothing yet for nassau/bahamas

BA do 5th freedom flights between NAS and GCM plus PLS which would make for good (though expensive!) island hopping.
