This one is clean and direct. United is flying nonstop from Newark Liberty International Airport to Lynden Pindling International Airport in about 3 hours and 17 minutes, with fares starting at $341 for travel March 8 to March 14, according to what Flight Watcher found on Google Flights.
It’s the kind of flight that turns Nassau into an easy yes: no connections, no lost day, just a straight shot south.
The Fare
A nonstop at this price for a full Saturday-to-Friday stretch matters because it gives you enough time to settle in. You’re not squeezing Nassau into a long weekend or rushing back just as the trip starts to feel good. You land, clear the airport quickly, and you’re typically at your hotel within half an hour.
Why It Works Now
March is one of Nassau’s sweet spots. The water is clear, the weather holds steady, and the island runs smoothly. At this price point, the decision shifts to how you want to spend the week: waterpark-heavy days on Paradise Island or a beachfront base right in Nassau with downtown within walking distance.
What This Trip Feels Like
From the airport, the drive east brings quick flashes of water and low-slung buildings before you cross the bridge onto Paradise Island or pull up along Cable Beach and downtown Nassau. The island is compact, which makes it easy to split your time between beach afternoons, Fish Fry dinners, and a few hours wandering Bay Street without turning anything into a production.
Where to Stay
Comfort Suites Paradise Island is the value play that still delivers on amenities. The real reason people book it is access to Atlantis, including the Aquaventure waterpark, which lets you spend your days on the slides and pools while paying a much lighter hotel rate. The rooms are straightforward, the location is walkable on Paradise Island, and it works especially well if the waterpark is part of the plan more than once.
Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau is one of the best options on the island. It sits right on the beach in Nassau and keeps everything close: pools, waterpark access, dining, and bars all on-site, with downtown Nassau an easy walk when you want to step out. JWB Prime Steak and Seafood anchors the food side with steaks, local seafood, sushi, and a raw bar, while more casual spots like Frank & Lola’s Pizzeria and Changes in Latitude Bar make it easy to stay put for the day. The resort’s waterpark and FlowRider give you built-in activity days without leaving the property.
For a nonstop flight this short and a fare this accessible, this Newark-to-Nassau run makes a full March week in the Bahamas feel refreshingly simple.
