High fares seem to be discouraging potential revelers in Barbados from booking last minute flights to Trinidad and Tobago for carnival. According to a report from the Barbados nation newspapers, while early bookers would pay around 300 or 400 U.S dollars, some ticket prices are now between 500 and 800 U.S dollars and persons are being discouraged by the high fares. Travel agencies in Barbados are reported as saying their early bookings were normal but they would have to gauge for the greatest show on earth for 2008. Source: Barbados Nation Newspapers
