Paramaribo to Port of Spain. check in slow but okay - left just 15 mins late. Breakfast - orange
juice and slice of cake. FA's helpful and friendly - overall better than expected.

Just like Rogier's experience, only in January 2003 - broken-down plane
on flight from Cayenne to Paramaribo meant that my partner and I
experienced a significant delay (ended up catching a flight on Rutaca
Airlines, a Venezuelan carrier, at 4am the next morning). Communication
between airline and passengers extremely poor, led to almost hysteria at
Cayenne airport. However, Suriname Airways provided us with transport
back to Cayenne, where they put me and my partner up in the Best Western
before transporting us back to the airport. So no complaints on that
score; they did what they could to alleviate a bad situation.

SLM flies 3 times a week from Amsterdam to Paramaribo and vice versa with their own
Boeing 747-300. SLM has an excellent service on all levels and they are still trying to improve
services to passengers to expand their routes to other South American countries.

Cayenne-Paramaribo, old MD-82, short trip (45 min.), arrived on time.
Paramaribo-Cayenne, old plane was broken and repairs would take days. It was their only plane. They
had to rent an even older plane (with defunct lav) from Curaçao. An 8 h delay on a 45 min
trip.
As a result I missed my flight from Cayenne to Paris. Taking an earlier flight was not an option as
they fly PBM-CAY only 3 times a week.
Taxi rides from and to the airport + hotel bill: Surinam Airways wouldn't pay a penny. When I
complained they replied that the 'change of schedule' was announced on the radio so I should have
known and they are not responsible for anything.
No chance of flying another airline. State-owned Surinam Airways has a monopoly on most routes in
and out of Surinam.
