Nonstop Flights From Philadelphia To The Caribbean

There's plenty to admire about Philadelphia, nicknamed the City of Brotherly Love. With attractions like the Liberty Bell Center and Independence National Historical Park, the city is especially suited for American history enthusiasts. However, a beach is one thing you won't be able to find in Philly. For that, you'd have to drive to nearby New Jersey. Even if you wanted to lay out in the sun in your bathing suit sans coastal views, Philadelphia is not particularly known for its mild weather. But no worries, there's a solution: Pack your bags, head to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), and fly to the Caribbean.

PHL is less than 20 minutes from Center City, Philadelphia's downtown area. It's the largest airport in Pennsylvania, which comes with perks. Notably, there are several direct flights departing from PHL to the Caribbean. This means you'll be on a pristine beach, sipping on a tropical drink from a coconut in only a few hours. 

Book an overwater bungalow, and you'll have the vacation of a lifetime. Of course, don't forget to create an itinerary full of cool things to try in the Caribbean. The majority of these flights leaving Philadelphia are offered by American Airlines. Frontier and Spirit, famous for providing economical flights, also offer nonstop flights to the Caribbean.
