Tropic Ocean Airways offers fall Bimini discounts

Tropic Ocean Airways launched a seasonal promotion for travel to Bimini, with 15% off flights and $100 off its same-day Bahamas In A Day trip. The offers run for travel from Sept. 22 through Nov. 22, 2026, and are meant to make the Fort Lauderdale-to-Bimini seaplane route easier to book this fall.

Why it matters: - The promotion lowers the cost of one of South Florida’s shortest international escapes. - Bimini is about 25 minutes from South Florida by seaplane, making it practical for a day trip or a short getaway. - The offer targets travelers who want a faster, simpler alternative to commercial-airport travel and overnight planning.
