Commendations to Liat. We need need to have better variety when flying. The tickers are way too expensive on Caribbean airlines and others. Flying is about profits but more about customer satisfaction
What about flights to trinidad. Ive retired a d need to visit more carbbean islands at
Beautifully written. Let us continue to hope that LIAT 20 stays in the skies. We in the aviation sector knows all too well how expensive it is to fly while traveller’s are looking to save a buck or two. LIAT we need you to stay.
I agree Caribbean Airline prices to The Island is pretty too expensive
I applaud you for this magical step. We need better options at this time to compete and to offer better services and fares. Just dont become greedy, think long term, think people’s needs, think budgets and pay your pilots and staff enough to keep them delivering safety and quality.
This could only bolster Tourism in our Caribbean Islands. I pray good stewardship and much blessings for this much needed option.
