Any advice?
Thanks!
Just position yourself such that you can do a turn-around same-day. BA certainly won't want to leave the planes idle in the Caribbean destinations (for more than a day, sometimes!) so they'll do a r/t in between arriving from LON and redeploying there (easy enough since Caribbean-LON is always overnight). You can still make a weekend of it; you'll just waste half a day flying
