BermudAir Takes Flight: New Airline Offers Stylish, Spacious Travel to Bermuda

A new airline, BermudAir, has begun selling tickets for its inaugural flights to Bermuda, promising a premium travel experience. Initially focusing on a business-class-only model, the airline has since adapted to include economy cabins. Flights are set to launch from key East Coast airports, offering a unique way to reach the island paradise.

Key Takeaways

• BermudAir is launching flights from New York (Westchester County Airport), Boston, and Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda.
• The airline aims to provide a premium, spacious, and hassle-free travel experience.
• Initial flights will feature a unique cabin configuration, with plans for custom-designed suites.
• Onboard amenities include complimentary food, beverages, and Wi-Fi.

Inaugural Flights And Routes

BermudAir is commencing operations with flights from New York’s Westchester County Airport (HPN) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Bermuda’s L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA). These routes launched on August 31. Service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) began on September 22.

The airline plans to increase service, with twice-daily flights between HPN and BDA starting September 15. A full schedule of year-round flights, with up to six weekly services on its initial routes, will be in place by November 9.

A Premium Onboard Experience

BermudAir aims to immerse passengers in a Bermudian atmosphere from the moment they board. The onboard experience includes a signature “dark ‘n’ stormy” cocktail, made with Goslings Black Seal Rum and ginger beer. The menu will feature items sourced from local suppliers, including pastries and other treats, with the menu rotating quarterly.

All food, beverages, and amenities are included in the ticket price. The cabin lighting will also reflect the destination, with pink hues for flights to Bermuda and blue for departures.

Innovative Cabin Design

Initially, BermudAir is utilizing Embraer E175 jets, selling only half of the 88 seats to ensure a spacious feel for all passengers, offering both aisle and window access. However, the airline has plans to introduce custom-designed suites in a 30-seat, all-business-class configuration by November 1. This updated cabin, dubbed “Aisle Class,” will feature two spacious seats per row, ample under-seat storage, in-seat power, and complimentary Wi-Fi with entertainment and messaging capabilities.

This seating arrangement is designed for quick boarding and deplaning. Passengers will also benefit from U.S. immigration and customs preclearance in Bermuda.

Vision And Pricing

Founded by Adam Scott, a former Goldman Sachs executive, BermudAir was inspired by the similarities in demographics and travel patterns between London and Bermuda. Scott’s vision is to offer a stress-free and differentiated travel journey.

Introductory fares for BermudAir start at $199, including taxes. However, regular fares are expected to rise to approximately $1,000 one-way. Prices for November travel, coinciding with the new cabin’s expected debut, are listed at $999 one-way.
