KLM Roy­al Dutch Air­lines is rein­tro­duc­ing its sea­son­al flights to Bridgetown, Bar­ba­dos, and George­town, Guyana, for the win­ter 2025 sea­son.

The air­line said that start­ing on Oc­to­ber 26, 2025, and run­ning through March 26, 2026, trav­ellers will once again be able to en­joy three week­ly flights to these stun­ning Caribbean and South Amer­i­can des­ti­na­tions aboard KLM’s state-of-the-art Boe­ing 787-9 Dream­lin­er.

This sea­son­al route will con­nect Am­s­ter­dam with Bridgetown, one of the Caribbean’s most charm­ing and cul­tur­al­ly rich cities, be­fore con­tin­u­ing on to George­town, the vi­brant cap­i­tal of Guyana.

KLM pre­vi­ous­ly of­fered this com­bi­na­tion dur­ing the 2021 and 2022 win­ter sea­sons, and the air­line’s de­ci­sion to bring it back is dri­ven by in­creas­ing de­mand for both leisure and busi­ness trav­el to these re­gions.

The flight, des­ig­nat­ed as KL783, will de­part from Am­s­ter­dam Schiphol Air­port (AMS) every Tues­day, Thurs­day, and Sun­day at 09:35 am.

The first leg of the jour­ney will land in Bridgetown (BGI) at 13:35 lo­cal time, with a brief lay­over be­fore con­tin­u­ing on to George­town (GEO) at 15:05, ar­riv­ing at 16:40.

The re­turn flight from George­town will de­part at 18:00 and ar­rive back in Am­s­ter­dam the fol­low­ing morn­ing at 08:00.

KLM said its Boe­ing 787-9 Dream­lin­er is equipped to pro­vide a pre­mi­um trav­el ex­pe­ri­ence with a va­ri­ety of seat­ing op­tions.

The air­craft in­cludes 30 seats in World Busi­ness Class, 21 seats in Pre­mi­um Com­fort, and 224 seats in Econ­o­my Class, en­sur­ing a com­fort­able jour­ney for all pas­sen­gers.

KLM not­ed that Bar­ba­dos, a well-vis­it­ed des­ti­na­tion in the Caribbean, is an im­por­tant mar­ket for KLM, mak­ing it an ex­cit­ing new ad­di­tion to the air­line’s net­work.

Known for its beau­ti­ful beach­es, rich cul­ture, and wel­com­ing cli­mate, Bridgetown is an ide­al get­away for those look­ing to es­cape the cold Eu­ro­pean win­ter.

KLM pre­vi­ous­ly op­er­at­ed flights to Bridgetown in the win­ter sea­sons of 2021 and 2022.”

Pri­or to the route be­ing tem­porar­i­ly re­moved from their net­work, KLM op­er­at­ed the flight with an on­ward stop to Port-of- Spain, Trinidad.

George­town, on the oth­er hand, is a grow­ing eco­nom­ic hub in north­ern South Amer­i­ca, mak­ing it an at­trac­tive des­ti­na­tion for busi­ness trav­ellers in ad­di­tion to leisure tourists.

This dual-des­ti­na­tion ser­vice not on­ly brings sun-drenched va­ca­tions to pas­sen­gers but al­so en­hances re­gion­al con­nec­tiv­i­ty, fur­ther ex­pand­ing KLM’s reach in the Caribbean and South Amer­i­ca.

Be­sides Cu­ra­cao, KLM most­ly op­er­ates Air­bus A330-200s to its Caribbean des­ti­na­tions, some­times up­grad­ing to their larg­er A330-300s (and Boe­ing 777-200s to the ABC is­lands) dur­ing peak trav­el pe­ri­ods.
