How to Get to Barbados

In order to reach Barbados you would need to fly. In the flight I would take you would leave from the New York City JFK center and fly to Bridgetown, Barbados to the BGI center. The flight would be roughly 5 hours. We would leave on Monday May 31 and return home on Tuesday June 11. I would then take a cab to my hotel. It may be a long flight but it is worth it!
