Barbados nonstop on Air Canada this summer

Quebecers may want to consider Barbados if they have an urge to enjoy the southern sun this summer. Now there is a direct weekly flight to the Caribbean country.

After a brief hiatus, Air Canada has decided to restart a nonstop weekly flight from Montreal to this gem in the Caribbean. Barbados is renowned for its culture, cuisine and nightlife, not to mention its beautiful beaches during the summer.

Air Canada will fly to Barbados every Sunday until September 5. The air carrier has been travelling to this destination for the past 60 years.

The airline carried over 63,000 Canadians to the country last year. It wants to increase the number of passengers this year and a summer flight will help achieve this goal.

In a 2008 survey, TripAdvisor ranked the island the eighth best destination on its Top 100 list.
