About flights to Bermuda
Bermuda pulls in a pretty specific crowd. With 15 non-stop international routes all funneling into one airport — L.F. Wade International, BDA — the island isn't exactly a hub-and-spoke nightmare to get through. Most arrivals are coming out of the USA (11 routes alone), which tells you a lot about who's showing up: East Coast professionals on long weekends, honeymooners who want pink sand without a 10-hour haul, and a surprisingly steady stream of finance types connected to Bermuda's reinsurance industry. Canada and the UK round out the rest. It's a small, purposeful airport for a small, purposeful island.
Why visit Bermuda?
The geography does most of the selling. Bermuda sits alone in the North Atlantic — not Caribbean, a point worth making because people get this wrong constantly — which means the water is cleaner and the crowds are thinner than anything you'd find in, say, Cancun in February. Hamilton is the commercial and government center, so if you're here for business (reinsurance, legal, financial services — Bermuda punches well above its weight in all three), that's your world. For everyone else, the draw is the combination of British colonial architecture, genuinely excellent diving around the wreck sites, and a place small enough that you can understand it in a week. Peak season runs roughly April through October. The shoulder months — March, November — are legitimately underrated. Fewer people, same island.

Tips for travelers heading to Bermuda
There's only one commercial airport in Bermuda, so the routing decision is made for you: you're landing at BDA regardless. What you do control is which origin market you connect through. American travelers have the most options by far — 11 routes from the USA means you're not stuck routing through one mega-hub. Canadians have three routes to work with, which is workable. UK travelers have one non-stop option, so flexibility is limited there. Bermuda uses the Bermudian dollar, which trades at parity with USD (American cash is accepted everywhere). No visa required for US, Canadian, or UK citizens for stays under 90 days. Book early for summer. Seriously.
