If you are a member of Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club, they have a special mileage offer for flights from London Gatwick to Barbados. The cost is 17,500 miles for an economy return (normal redemption is 37,500 miles). Note, taxes and surcharges also apply. This offer is ‘in conjunction’ with the Barbados Tourism Authority and can be booked by phoning Flying Club in the UK on 08444 122 414, quoting ‘Barbados 25th Birthday’. (Thanks to reader Adrian L for the tip).

If you don’t have miles then flights on Virgin are available from £478 for various dates throughout 2009. Book by 27 Jan 09. British Airways will also get you to Barbados from Gatwick for £479 (travel 15 Apr 09 – 30 Jun 09, book by 27 Jan 09) – with one-way upgrades to premium economy WT+ from £135.

Cheaper fares are available on American Airlines if you connect in the US.
