Calgary to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago - $451 CAD roundtrip including taxes

A beach in Trinidad and Tobago

WestJet has dropped the price of their February 2017 flights from Calgary to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago down to $451 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights have 1 stop in Toronto each way.

It's unusual for WestJet to drop the prices of their flights from Western Canada to Trinidad and Tobago, especially to 40% below the typical best price.

The flights are also as fast as Calgary to Trinidad and Tobago can be done. The flights do have a pretty tight connection in Toronto in the way there (1 hr) and a 3 hr connection on the way home.

Trinidad and Tobago is in the very southern Caribbean, with average highs of around 30C in February.

Below, I've posted some info about flying between Trinidad (POS) and Tobago (TAB) for $65 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

Flying between Trinidad (POS) and Tobago (TAB)

The country of Trinidad and Tobago is comprised of 2 islands. Trinidad's landscape is more mangrove and rain forest, while Tobago is probably more what you're picturing when you think of a beautiful Caribbean island (palm trees, white sand, etc).

It costs around $48 USD ($65 CAD) roundtrip including taxes to fly between Port of Spain (POS) on Trinidad, and Tobago (TAB), using Caribbean Airlines.

There are flights departing nearly every hour, and it takes about 25 minutes. The first piece of checked luggage is included free.
