Never again, with Caribbean Airlines.

At the time we booked our flights to the U.S.A , Caribbean Airlines seemed the best bet. We were told we could check in online, but were unable to due to problems with the site. Might I add that we had to be there at 2:30 AM for a 5:30 AM flight? Customs was ok. Most of the time was spend shivering in the waiting lounge.

After take off they served breakfast. However at Trinidad, we were made to come out of the plane , with our hand luggage and go thru customs. All jewellery had to be taken off even our watch, and my hairclip because it was metal. No other airport security has this rule - they just tell you to remove metal stuff like your belt and coins.

Nothing, even a handkerchief could be left in your pocket. All electronics including laptops, kindles, dvd players etc also had to be removed and placed in a seperate bin. No shoes or bags in the tray. Then when you get out of the scan area you got to hurry and move you stuff , to get out of the way. Lesson learned you want to smuggle something make your child keep it., They dont make children take off stuff.

We also got a light snack on the way from T&T to U.S.A. But the long wait between trinidad and U.S.A added to the long travelling time.

The way back was worse. We were told at the desk we did not have to come off the plane. However once we were in Trinidad we were told we had to change planes. We came off had to go all the way downstairs , to the transit desk. Then up back. Through the check points again. We asked to change seats and were told that they couldnt do that. We just moved to the empty seat once we were on the plane as it was practially empty on the way back. We got a snack - a bag of chips and a bag of cookies from Miami but they did not even serve us a snack from Trinidad to Guyana only a beverage. Then again, they never give you anything when your coming into Guyana. Next time i walking with me damm curry to eat and not relying on these people to feed me.

The flying and service itself is not bad. However, having to come out at Trinidad is too much of a hassel to travel with them again unless I have no choice.
