You can fly directly to Eleuthera from Nassau, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Charlotte and Atlanta.
Nassau is just 20 minutes from Eleuthera by air and the flights are just $80 each way. Southern Air and Pineapple Air fly from Nassau to Eleuthera multiple times a day, including flights to Governors Harbour and North Eleuthera around 8 a.m., 12 noon, 3:30, and 4 p.m.
Handy Tip: These flights between Nassau and Eleuthera do not appear on websites such as Expedia, so you won’t find them in typical flight searches.
You can view (and book) available flights on Pineapple Air or Southern Air Charter
Just make sure to get to Nassau no later than 2:30 p.m., and you’ll be in time to catch the last flight out.
Handy Tip: To breeze through customs in Nassau: There is a separate line if you are going on to Eleuthera, and there is never anyone in that line. To use that line, follow the signs for “Family Island Intransit” and “Family Island Connections”. On your return flight, allow 2 ½ hours between arriving in Nassau and your departing flight to the U.S. because you will be clearing U.S. customs in Nassau, rather than upon arrival in the U.S.

Handy Tip: Eleuthera has 3 airports which are all about an hour away from each other…oftentimes, North Eleuthera has better flight schedules and fares than Governor’s Harbour (GHB). The drive is nice and scenic from ELH to the Govenor’s Harbour area, so don’t let the distance deter you.
