No Non-stop flight to Guyana is a minus for Caribbean Airlines. Maybe, Guyana, as destination of choice, is not a high priority on Caribbean Airlines Agenda!

Poor business sense!

My husband had taken a trip back in March of ‘07, we had some issues in purchasing the ticket. The airline had double charged us, we have since then taken care of that issue, and he has come and gone. My issue now is that on September the 8th my account is now overdrawn because this company has went and charged my account once again.We have tried numerous of times to contact the company, and all of our efforts were unsuccessful. Please help me to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Myself along with my family would greatly appreciate it.

I just had to say that last year me and my family traveled with BWEE to trinidad for a close relatives funeral. The service was terrible. On our return fight there was a 3 hour delay with no apology from the airline. Then on the fight the fight attendants were very rude. The plan was filthy. I went to use the sick bag infront of my seat and it was used. I told the fight attendant and she told me in a rude and sacastic voice that i should have looked before i used it.
