Getting
There
Getting to the Bahamas from the States,
especially from the East Coast, is relatively simple and painless.
One convenient and direct option
is a private charter flight from Fort Lauderdale directly to the
Congo Town Airport, where anglers can clear immigrations
and customs, transfer to the lodge and often be fishing on the morning
of arrival. Charter flights also make it possible to arrive quickly
and comfortably to the lodge in a single day from practically anywhere
in the country. And charter costs for 4, 6, or 8 anglers actually
are quite competitive when compared to commercial flights.
Andros South is a 20-minute
drive from the airport in Congo Town on South Andros. There
are several options for flying into Congo Town. The most popular
one for reaching our island is Lynx Air International. Lynx Air
flies nonstop flights multiple times per week between Fort Lauderdale
and Congo Town. Lynx Air's mid-day Saturday flight matches up well
with our weekly changeover. Lynx Air flies from the Fort Lauderdale
International airport, allowing for easy connections with flights
within the United States, and outbound guests clear US Customs in
Fort Lauderdale, which is typically a smooth process. Tickets on
Lynx Air can be booked online at http://www.lynxair.com/
, or via telephone at 888-596-9247.
As a third option, two flights
each day arrive from nearby Nassau with Western Air. These
flights depart Nassau at 7:00 am and 3:15 pm, and take 20 minutes.
The flights return back to Nassau at 8:00 am and 4:00 pm respectively.
Reservations can be made with Western Air at 242-377-2222.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Western Air accepts only cash for payment. When
checking in with Western Air in Nassau, you will need $140 in cash,
either US or Bahamian ($1 US = $1 Bahamian), to pay for your round-trip
ticket.
Once you arrive in Congo Town, a representative of our
facility will meet you at the airport for the short drive to our
lodge.
