Getting there

Where are you flying from?

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 2.5 hours in the air.

Nassau has year-round flights from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Toronto and London Heathrow. Chicago O'Hare flights are listed as seasonal, so confirm they run on your dates.

Most US travelers fly nonstop to Nassau from the East Coast or Florida, or connect through Miami, Atlanta or Charlotte.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS): about 35 minutes by carNassau's airport, on the west side of New Providence; US-bound travelers clear US customs here before flying home.

Late April weather

Daytime highs are around 82°F (28°C) and nights around 70°F (21°C), and the sea is warm at about 77°F (25°C), so swimming is comfortable.

Good to know

The Bahamas are on the same time as New York.
The Bahamian dollar is equal to the US dollar and US cash is accepted everywhere.
You don't need a car; taxis and the resort cover most of what you'll do.
US passport holders generally do not need a visa; check entry rules for your passport.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

US State Department travel advisory for Bahamas

Level 2 of 4: Exercise increased caution

Reasons the advisory gives: crime.
The level is for the whole country, not for the hotel or its neighborhood. Level 1 is the lowest of the four and Level 4 the highest.
Advisory dated July 27, 2026; I read it on October 4, 2026. Levels change, so open the advisory before you book and again before you fly.

Read the US advisory UK government advice

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
