Traveling to Grenada!
For the US and Canada there are only a few direct flight routes:
They are out of Toronto (YYZ) via Air Canada (three times a week); Sunwing (once a week though whether they fly to Grenada varies during the year);
New York (JFK) via JetBlue (right now there are flights every day of the week but they vary their schedules and where they fly throughout the year);
Charlotte (CLT) currently once a week via American Airlines (and this may not be available later in the year – they change their routes);
and Miami (MIA) every day via American Airlines.
Shorter Route for Western/West Coast Canada and the United States:
You can connect to any of the departure airports listed above or fly out of Houston (IAH) via United Airlines to Trinidad (POS) and from there go onto Grenada (GND) via Caribbean Airlines. That’s an estimated 6 hour travel time.
Compare that to up to eight and a half hours if you fly through Toronto, New York, Charlotte or Miami as people on the eastern part of the continent can more easily do.

Martinique, which is technically in France, is kind of self-contained w/Guadeloupe so there are not many options to get from there to Grenada or other English speaking Caribbean countries. You would need to fly to St. Lucia (see routes above) and then fly onto Grenada from there.
The Martinique route is not an easy one, with many possible delays and perils. We are only including it here for those adventure seekers who prioritize visiting, here in case it is important to you to fly out of Montreal.
