August is also a great month to secure your flight tickets due to the carnival which takes place. It's a huge celebration of colourful outfits and dancing to music and makes for an unforgettable experience.
Off Season:
There isn't really an off season in Barbados, the weather very rarely gets too cold or too hot. You can find cheap flights to Barbados between June and September as this is the hurricane season. This doesn't mean you'll spend weeks indoors though, just make sure to take a coat with you and take advantage of the cheap flight tickets and discounted accommodation. Certain times during these months are also home to fantastic festivals and events, while this will make cheap flights to Barbados harder to find, if you book early enough you can still make a saving.
Cheap flights to Barbados are available most times of the year, with the exception of festivals and celebrations such as New Year's and Christmas.

If you can be flexible with your dates, you'll easily find the cheapest flights to Barbados, meaning you'll have more money to spend on your holiday rather than on your flight tickets.

Buses are available all over Barbados, with some great scenic trips taking place in a cool yellow style bus from the 60s. You can also get a bus from the airport, this is the cheapest option but they can get busy, making it difficult if you have a lot of baggage with you.
