        Where you stay matters, and our Barbados FAM host Where you stay matters, and our Barbados FAM host hotels delivered in every way 🏨🏝️

ITTN’s Julia Labedz was in Barbados on a FAM trip hosted by @visitbarbados, @aerlingus, and @traveltraderep, accompanying a group of Irish and UK travel agents to explore the island and support the direct Aer Lingus route from Manchester to Barbados. A huge thank you to our two fantastic host hotels for making the trip as comfortable as it was memorable 🇧🇧☀️

We kicked off the week at the @wyndhamgrandbarbados on the southeast coast. The Wyndham is the largest hotel on the island, with a spacious layout made up of multiple accommodation blocks, each with its own swimming pool.

I stayed in a Deluxe King Room on the second floor, which immediately impressed me. The room was exceptionally spacious, with a large, comfortable king-sized bed and a good selection of pillows. A balcony looked out over the hotel pool and towards the sea, with a comfy couch. Behind the bed, a subtle separation created a functional area with a mini bar and a dedicated work desk.

Midweek, we moved to the @o2beachclubbarbados on the south coast. The O2 Beach Club & Spa is a five-star, all-inclusive property located on Dover Beach. Freshly renovated, with the newest section opening at the end of 2021, the hotel is super polished and very atmospheric from the get go. 

I checked into a Luxury Oceanfront One-Bedroom Suite with a kitchenette. The suite featured an exceptionally comfortable bed and a bright, spacious living area filled with colour and natural light. The balcony directly faced the beach, with uninterrupted views of palms, waves, and the shoreline.

Huge thanks again to both the Wyndham Grand Barbados and O2 Beach Club & Spa for the exceptional hospitality throughout our stay. Both hotels made us feel completely at home in Barbados 🌴

        The Barbados FAM may be over, but @aerlingus made The Barbados FAM may be over, but @aerlingus made the journey home effortless 🌺✈️

After wrapping up an incredible Barbados FAM trip hosted by @visitbarbados, @aerlingus and @traveltraderep, the group of Irish and UK agentsheaded to the airport to fly home the seamless way ✈️🇧🇧➡️🇮🇪

It’s been an absolutely incredible week of site visits, sunshine, and Bajan hospitality (we can’t forget the rum either), and before we knew it, it was time to fly home on Aer Lingus’ connecting service from Barbados → Manchester → Dublin,  making getting to Barbados easier than ever.

The best part about this flight? The connection is completely seamless both ways.

✅ Check your bag once - it arrives at your final destination
✅ No terminal exit in Manchester, just follow the transfer signs
✅ No need to re-check in or touch your luggage
✅ Bought duty-free in Barbados? Security in Manchester simply reseals it so you can carry it through

Onboard flight EI30, we settled in for the 9-hour hop with comfy seats, hot meals, great entertainment, and the signature Aer Lingus service that makes 38,000 feet feel quite cosy ☕️

While this video shows the return leg, we experienced the same stress-free connection on the way out from Dublin → Manchester → Barbados, with everything handled behind the scenes for a journey that’s smooth from start to finish.

Huge thanks again to @aerlingus, @visitbarbados and @traveltraderep for making this trip not only memorable, but effortless too. The Caribbean has never been more accessible!

        Barbados, you’ve been magic! ✨ ITTN’s Julia Barbados, you’ve been magic! ✨

ITTN’s Julia Labedz and a fantastic group of Irish and UK agents are officially at the end of the Barbados FAM hosted by @aerlingus, @visitbarbados and @traveltraderep with only the flight home to go before their Caribbean adventure is over!

The group spent Thursday living the island life to the fullest, snorkelling shipwrecks and spotting fish (and even a shark!) on a Cool Runnings catamaran cruise @coolrunningsbarbados followed by an absolutely electric beachfront evening at the Harbour Lights Dinner Show @harbourlightsbeachday with fire breathers, stilt walkers, live bands, and dancing in the sand with Cedric Lynch from Visit Barbados teaching everyone how to party Bajan style 🎶🔥💃

Today is departure day which has come all too soon, but before heading to the airport the group managed to sneak in some shopping in Bridgetown and even headed to Rihanna’s childhood home!

Huge thanks to @visitbarbados @aerlingus and @traveltraderep for hosting such a fun and unforgettable FAM. Additionally, a massive thank you to Cedric Lynch from Visit Barbados for taking care of us all week. Cedric has gone above and beyond in teaching us everything we need to know about Barbados, and feeding us some pretty good rum while we were at it…

Barbados, you’ve been incredible - we’ll be back 🏝️
