The Cayman Islands recently announced a new airlift option for West Coast travelers via the destination’s national flag carrier, Cayman Airways Ltd. Beginning November 6, 2022, Cayman Airways will operate nonstop service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in California to Owen Roberts International Airport (ORIA) in Grand Cayman at an introductory fare of US $399. This latest route becomes the Caribbean’s only direct flight to service the West Coast and expands upon Cayman’s western accessibility, as the City of Angels joins gateway Denver, CO, and the airline bridge the gap between adventure and luxury seekers and Caribbean paradise.

As the global travel industry continues to rebound in 2022, Cayman Airways’ newest route will be key in stimulating stayover visitation to the iconic luxury lifestyle destination that is the Cayman Islands.

“It has been a long-time goal to connect the Cayman Islands with our friends on the West Coast, and now that we have the ability to operate long-haul flights via our national flag carrier, we are eager to showcase all that we have to offer,” said Hon. Minister for Tourism and Transport, Kenneth V. Bryan. “With our world-renowned beaches, five-star resorts, charming boutique villas, exceptional adventure and attractions, and globally renowned culinary scene – we are confident that travelers visiting us from California will find all they have dreamed about in Cayman.”

  • From Little Cayman to the Big Screen: This new route connects Cayman’s burgeoning film industry to the iconic creative hub of Hollywood. The destination has emerged as a sought-after production hub for well-known film and TV projects over the last few years, and new non-stop access will undoubtedly expand opportunities in Cayman – making it increasingly easy for LA-based production companies to capitalize on the Cayman Islands as a premier location for film, television, music video, photoshoots, and advertising productions   

“Discerning Californians seeking a beautiful and serene beach destination have long been drawn to the Cayman Islands and its convenient Western Caribbean location, representing more than 4% of our annual stayover visitors from the U.S.,” said Mrs. Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands. “We are thrilled that our national flag carrier Cayman Airways is making it even easier for West Coast travelers to discover our renowned beaches, legendary dive waters, world-class restaurants, and welcoming community.”
