Direct Flights to Providenciales International Airport

United Airlines Brings Latest Non-Stop Offering from Chicago to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos

The balmy weather and predictable sunshine on Providenciales, Turks and Caicos provides a much needed break from shoveling snow and bracing for additional cold fronts. And if last winter was any indication of the type of weather patterns the northeastern states can expect, then airline bookings will be up by a lot as more warmth-seekers head south for a much needed dose of Vitamin D.

Visitors to the Turks and Caicos Islands have been spoiled for choice in recent years with daily, non-stop flights from hubs such as Atlanta, New York, Charlotte, and Miami and regular service from Boston, Newark, Philadelphia and Dallas. United Airlines will soon be adding a direct, weekly flight from Chicago starting December 19, 2015. The Saturday only service will operate over the popular winter months through to April 30, 2016.

One of the world’s busiest airprts, Chicago O’Hare International processed 70 million passengers in 2014 according to the Airport Council International. According to the Department of Aviation statistics for the airport, 5.6 million passengers went through O’Hare in December 2014 alone (compared to 5.4 million a year earlier), almost 800,000 on internationl flights.

Vacations on Providenciales

Winter in the Turks and Caicos Islands is a sublime respite from the unpredictable and messy weather of the northern states. White sand beaches, clear water, and resorts offering all kinds of promotions to bring you out of the cold and into the Caribbean heat. While this is typically the high season for resorts, budget conscious travelers may find the prices a bit much. Fear not; there are options for those who want to get away without breaking the bank.

Villa del Mar is located just a few steps from Grace Bay beach through a garden path. So, while it is not situated directly on the beach it is not much further away than if you were walking through a large beachfront resort. Their private beach concierge service is a bonus. Two friendly staff members, twin brothers actually, have been wowing guests for years now. Warm, friendly and attentive service is dished out with big smiles. You can expect your loungers to be awaiting your arrival each day, plenty of toys for the children, icy water and even bar service. All this at a signficant discount to staying at a resort directly on Grace Bay Beach.

So if you have been dreading the repeat performance of the polar vortexes, just imagine the quick 3.5 hour flight from Chicago O’Hare to sun warmed Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Within minutes of arriving at the newly updated airport, you could be lounging on the beach. Just a short stroll away are a multitude of dining options and, for those who prefer to eat at home, a great grocery store with plenty of gourmet and family friendly choices is just a 10 minute walk away.
