Flying into Tobago means landing at A.N.R. Robinson International Airport (TAB), formerly Crown Point Airport, the main gateway to the island. While it receives some international services, it primarily functions as a regional and domestic hub, with the most reliable and frequent arrivals coming from Trinidad (POS) and a handful of seasonal long-haul charters.
The airport’s most vital inbound route is the short domestic shuttle from Piarco International Airport (POS) in Trinidad, operated multiple times daily. This provides crucial access for travelers connecting from POS’s extensive international network into Tobago. Direct international flights into TAB often include seasonal services from the UK (London Gatwick) and Germany, as well as year-round or seasonal connections from other Caribbean islands, Canada, and the USA (e.g., Miami, New York).
The primary carrier into TAB is the national airline, Caribbean Airlines, which operates the essential Trinidad–Tobago airbridge. International and seasonal charter flights into Tobago are operated by airlines like British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Condor, and Air Canada Rouge. InterCaribbean Airways and other small regional carriers may also provide service from neighboring islands.
To find affordable flights to Tobago, book the domestic connection from Port of Spain (POS) in advance if you’re arriving internationally into Trinidad first. For direct long-haul arrivals into TAB, book seasonal charter flights from Europe or Canada many months ahead, as capacity is limited. For the most flexibility and often better fares into Tobago, consider flying to Trinidad (POS) first and then booking a separate short flight to TAB, as POS offers a wider range of international airlines and destinations. Always compare the total cost and convenience of flying directly into TAB versus connecting via POS.
