The Turks & Caicos Islands Airports Authority (TCIAA) is gearing up to welcome Southwest’s non – stop flight from Baltimore/Washington (BWI) to Providenciales, Turk & Caicos Islands (PLS). The inaugural flight is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 7th, 2020 and arrive in PLS at 2:25pm.

The flight from Baltimore/Washington International, Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) will depart their home base at 10:55am and will arrive in the Turks & Caicos Islands after a three-and-a-half-hour flight. Passengers will have the option to connect through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport  as well, on their journey to these tropical islands. The flight will conduct an aircraft switch earlier in the day with passengers departing at 12:40pm aboard the aircraft arriving from Fort Lauderdale in order to arrive back to BWI at 4:15pm, just in time for dinner.

This flight will operate once per week on Saturdays only for a six-week period. This winter period will serve as a relief for passengers looking for warmth and bright sunshine.
