Flights / transport to mainland?

Howdy all,

I'm looking at making POS my gateway into South America.

Any current info or advice for inexpensive transport from Trinidad to major points or the coast of South Am?

Thanks in advance! Play safe!

Chris

A few years ago I took a flight with Aeropostal from POS to Caracas.

By ferry, the only option is Pier1 ferry to Venezuela.

By air, take a look at Caribbean Airlines to Caracas, Georgetown or Paramaribo, Surinam Airways to Paramaribo and Conviasa to Porlamar (be aware Porlamar is in an island though). Not sure if Aeropostal keeps flying from Port of Spain to Caracas but you could research it. To other destinations in South America, take a look at COPA changing planes in Panama.

Aeropostal don't show any flights POS-CCS, and even if they did I would choose Caribbean over Aeropostal.

I did Aeropostal from POS to CCS a few years ago too. That has stopped. I don't even know Aeropostal is still in business. If it does their presence is much reduced.

I would not think POS a good candidate to be a gateway to SA. Panama City may be better.

Any particular reason for choosing POS? as noted above, it's hardly a South American hub.

An option would be to choose MIA which has a good range of flights for most of South America; other options would be PTY, BOG, LIM, GRU, SCL, EZE, or perhaps CCS.
