The convenient 25-minute flights will launch on Thursday, August 22 and will mark the airline's second route connecting South Florida with The Bahamas.

Flights departing from Freeport will operate from the airline's newly constructed private passenger terminal at Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO).

What's more, free checked bags are included up to 40 pounds and all Western Air tickets are valid for one year with the flexibility to adjust travel plans anytime without penalty or change fees.
