Silver Airways Booking is part of the Birthday Bash Trip Report.
On a quest to pad my Country Count List (see Where I’ve Been), I go on trips that never end (see Punxsutawney TPOL Trip Report). For my birthday, I did not have anything crazy in mind. I had already gone to Iraq for my 40th (see Iraqi Homecoming: My 40th Birthday in Baghdad) and am indifferent about whether I spend my money at home or on the road (see Intro: Birthday Bash Trip Report).
From Anguilla, I was open to the possibility of going to another island, so long as it was convenient. When I went to Skyscanner.com and searched nonstop to anywhere, no options came back. When I went to Anguilla’s Wiki Airport page, I was overwhelmed by the number of options but underwhelmed by the non-points airlines that serviced the airport with nonstop flights (see Wiki Airports: Finding Flights to the Unbeaten Path). Curious, I wondered what a flight would cost from Anguilla back to Puerto Rico. To my surprise, Silver Airways offers nonstop service for only $138. In one hour, I could be back home, ready for golf the following day. On top of that, I used my annual Capital One Venture X travel credit to pay for the flight.
Although I plan on Visiting Every Island in the Caribbean, I prefer to go for Carnival or wait until I have my own yacht.
With Silver, never forget to use coupon code “INSTAGRAM10” to get 10% off the base fare when buying direct on their site. They’ve been running this promo for quite a while now with no sign of stopping…
Of course in your case this time, you did better to burn the Cap1 flight credit vs paying cash and using the code…
Oh that’s a good tip!
Thanks for sharing this information.
