American Airlines will introduce the first-ever direct flight from the United States to South Caicos, starting February 15, 2025. The year-round route will operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Miami, using an Embraer 175 aircraft with 76 seats, including 12 first class seats.

“American has flown to Turks and Caicos for over 30 years and we are thrilled to announce the only nonstop service from the U.S. to South Caicos,” said Jason Reisinger, American’s managing director of global network planning. “This will provide customers from across North America faster and more convenient access to this idyllic island.”

The Turks and Caicos Islands are known worldwide for its picturesque beaches and its status as a hotspot for celebrities and VIPs.

American Airlines already flies to Turks and Caicos’ main island, Providenciales. The island’s tourism authority, Experience Turks and Caicos, stated the new flight “will strengthen Turks and Caicos’ position as a multi-island destination,” making it easier for travelers to enjoy South Caicos’ history, marine activities, and pristine beaches.

One-way flights from Miami International Airport (MIA) to South Caicos Airport (XSC) start at $213, according to Google Flights.

Turks and Caicos is a British overseas territory of 40 islands and cays in the Caribbean, known for its turquoise waters, incredible scuba diving, top-notch beaches, and all-inclusive resorts for families. It is also one of the best islands in the Caribbean to retire in.

South Caicos, about 18 square miles in size, is a 90-minute ferry ride from Providenciales.
