What are some islands that are

less than 3 hours from ny on a plane?

I am terrified of flying so we are at a loss for our honeymoon & i dont want to do a cruise, because if we get seasick, thats a bust!

So i'm trying to see what islands are less than 3 hours on a plane because thats the most I can prolly stand being on a plane.


Thanks ladies!

Well Jamacia is 3.5hrs and i loved it there!
Then there is the Bahamas, and St.lucia, Mexico..
I think they r all about the same, 3-4hrs! HTH!!!

Bermuda is like 2.5 hours.

But remember that getting on the plane is half the battle. Once you are on it, it won't matter if its 3 hours or 4 hours.

Also - Dh and I went to Mexico (flew into Cancun) and I think that flight was around 3 hours.

Oh no it's not half the battle for me. lol
I hyperventilate the whole ride and feel like i'm going to die.. I have issues just going to Florida.
I get chest pains, its pretty bad. But thats all because of a horrible experience.

y don't u tell ur doctor? They will give u xanax or something similar so u can sleep thru the whole flight. Plus if the anxiety is really that bad, u will prob need something to calm u dwn.

Take a Xanax before you get on! I can't stress it enough. hate flying too and my doctor told me to take it a half hour before the flight. It makes me sleep or feel very relaxed if I stay awake. As for grogginess, it affects everyone differently, but if you don't take a really high dose the side effects usually wear off with in 5 or 6 hours. In the worst case scenarior, you'd be groggy for 3 or 4 hours after you land, which might be worth it if you hate flying that much.

Aruba is 4 hours

SO WORTH THE EXTRA HOUR!!!!!!!!!!

Dominican Republic...
I'm from there if you have any questions...

Mexico is not an Island, but its AWESOME....

Bermuda will be cold in November though. Just remember they have the same weather as North Carolina for the most part.

Oh no! That sounds awful!

Bermuda, but have to check the weather. I think it's only good in summer. It's very close to NY

Bahamas is a short flight.. Just a little longer than FL
Puerto Rico
Jamaica
