Silver Airways has increased its flights to the island of Dominica, according to the Discover Dominica Authority.
The airline, which has hubs in Fort Lauderdale and San Juan, Puerto Rico, has added three new flights between San Juan and Dominica each week.
That means Silver is now operating daily flights to the island.
Silver has also changed flight times on the route, with the San Juan-Dominica flight departing at 3:15 PM, and the Dominica-San Juan flight running at 7:15 AM.
The changes mean an additional 102 weekly seats in and out of Dominica, according to the tourism board.
“This means that travelers to Dominica now have more options and better convenience when considering travel to Dominica,” the DDA said in a statement.

The Park Hyatt St Kitts has named a new general manager, the property told Caribbean Journal.
The luxury resort, the first and only Park Hyatt in the Caribbean, has tapped Marc Schneider to the role.
An “esteemed Hyatt veteran,” Schenider will oversee all operations at the luxury beach resort set on Banana Bay in St Kitts’ tony Christophe Harbour development.
“As Park Hyatt’s first and only property in the Caribbean, we are excited to welcome Marc to the helm of Park Hyatt St. Kitts – A luxury resort that authentically celebrates island culture and its natural environment,” said Myles McGourty, senior vice president for Latin America and the Caribbean at Hyatt. “Marc’s strong financial aptitude, well-rounded leadership skillset and strong desire to succeed will make him an asset to the team and will help him further enhance guest experiences by introducing rare and enticing amenities that attract discerning travelers from around the globe.”
Schneider was most recently the resort manager at the 1,000-room Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in The Bahamas.
“I am delighted to be joining the inspiring team at Park Hyatt St. Kitts, and I look forward to continuing to introduce our guests to the warmth, vibrancy, and hospitality for which the Kittitian community is known. In my new role, I will strive to further elevate the uncommon and enriching Park Hyatt St. Kitts experience to create lasting memories for returning and future guests alike,” Schneider said.

They’re the sort of rums you hardly find together in the Caribbean, iconic West Indian rum expressions that seldom appear on a shelf even at the best of Caribbean bars.
At Antigua’s Galley Bay, however, they’re right there with one another — and when you’re done sipping them, there isn’t even a bill.
This is the rum shack at Antigua’s legendary Galley Bay Resort and Spa, an all-inclusive that has rather happily created a Caribbean rum bar just steps from one of the island’s greatest beaches.
The rum shack is a place for travelers to taste their way around the Caribbean through its most famous spirit, sampling the best of the region on a well-managed journey by the lovely rum-steward Elaine.
Antigua’s signature bottles are here as well, from the terrific English Harbour 10 to the brand’s latest cask-finish expressions: Madeira, Port and Sherry.
Elaine pours a sample for an eager guest.
For the uninitiated, there are classic Caribbean rum cocktails, too: rum and coconut water, the traditional Cuba Libre and rum and pineapple, among others.
For the curious, there’s a journey around the Caribbean through rum: Wray and Nephew overproof; Havana Club; Gosling’s from the region’s northern neighbors in Bermuda; and even some lovely expressions from the Dominican Republic.
We’ve long extolled the virtues of traveling the Caribbean through rum, making this a very welcome concept.
And Galley Bay is right at the forefront in the region, cultivating a destination-within-a-destination, a place not just to enjoy the Caribbean but to discover it anew.
The comfortable cover of palapas, cozy pillowed corners and a setting at the edge of the resort’s signature lagoon only underscore it.
Because when your ingredients are “all-inclusive” and “rum shack,” well — that’s a hard cocktail to beat.
