"Stay away from them if possible"

(Canada)

Not Verified | To start off, the expectations were definitely not met when travelling with Caribbean Airlines. When I arrived at my seat the legroom and gestures were quite nice. Obviously nothing special since we were in economy but it was solid. For reference I am 5'8. I thought everything was worth the price at first but after takeoff the food service was horrible. They served a sloppy hard sandwich with a small drink of your choice. Apart from that everything was going well until we arrived at Guyana. Back in Canada when checking in we payed for 2 extra suitcases. The check-in lady didn't tell us our suitcases wouldn't be on that flight coming with us because when we arrived at Guyana we spent a 1.5 hours looking for our 2 extra suitcases, later to find out a few days later that they didn't come on the flight with us. After travelling with Caribbean Airlines twice on a flight to Guyana and a flight back home to Canada I can conclude that it is definitely not a good airline. Stay away from them if possible.

"lucky to get your refund"

(United States)

Trip Verified | They are the worst airline ever; do not waste your money with them. If by any chance you need to cancel or reschedule, you are looking at almost a year if you are lucky to get your refund.

"will never fly with them again"

(United States)

Trip Verified | I had to cancel my flight; it was a flex ticket. They charge you a $50 fee and the refund take at least 9 months to get your money back. This is ridiculous, I will never fly with them again.

"cancel flights without notice"

(United States)

Not Verified | This airline cancelled my roundtrip flight that I paid almost $800 USD for and refused to reimburse me! They cancel flights without notice so you will get to the airport and that's when you know it's been cancelled. Their workers were so dismissive and did not want to help me by even putting me on the next flight like any other airline would have. They also have the oldest, slowest and most outdated systems you could ever imagine. The slowest lines, no online customer service chat, no self-check-in? They left me stranded in New York. I cried because I could not afford another ticket at the prices they were telling me. I had to buy a ticket through another airline to go home.

"my trip exceeded expectations"

(Trinidad & Tobago)

Trip Verified | Was originally due to travel in March 2022, but, tested positive for Covid19. Caribbean Airlines differed my ticket to a later date, at no cost. When I was ready to fly in May 2022, the call centre was able to rebook quite simply. I used the opportunity to upgrade my ticket to Business Class which the agent did over the phone, simple transaction. I use the APP for all my Flight Management with regard to seats, meal requests etc.. BW600/26JUN POS/YYZ operated on-time. It was my first time using the new B737 MAX8 and was really impressed with the comfort of the cabin. The ergonomics of the seat made for a super comfortable 6hr flight. The IFE is a big improvement on this aircraft and the aesthetic of the cabin is also very mod looking. Once of the highlights of this flight was the ability to pre-order a meal. In this case, it was the Stewed Chicken with Macaroni Pie, Callaloo, Fried Plantain. A full on Sunday lunch on a Thursday night, LOL. Food was a generous amount and very tasty. Upon arrival in YYZ, I was expecting delays exiting the aircraft and getting thru Immigration and Customs. News of lengthy delays preceded my trip, but, it was actually very easy. BW607/09JUN YYZ/POS via GEO. Another on-time departure, early in fact. I opted for this flight via GEO because I preferred a daytime flight vs the red-eye which operates non-stop YYZ/POS, no regrets. Had a nice late breakfast in the lounge at Pearson and then a another delicious pre-ordered meal as we took off towards Guyana. This time, I ordered the Curry Chicken (or Chicken Curry) with Dhal and Rice. It was also a very generous amount and very tasty. Great flight down into the Southern Caribbean. The crew: On both flights, my cabin crew were amazing. They really do stand out from crews on other airlines in my opinion. They are warm and compassionate and their service is graceful. Extremely professional. Overall, my trip with Caribbean Airlines exceeded expectations and look forward to flying with them again soon. I always feel that I have already arrived home when I step aboard a Caribbean Airlines flight, no matter which gateway destination, I'm at.

"not be using this airline ever again"

(Canada)

Not Verified | I bought a ticket to SVG and for the reason that my son lost his job, he cancelled that, and then rebook when he was told it takes 6- 9 month to get back his refund which was less than half. Caribbean Airlines takes 6-9 months to refund money but he had to pay 250$ to rebook. This is high class robbery. I will not be using this airline ever again.

"This is disrespectful and fraudulent"

(United States)

Trip Verified | A ticket was purchased for January 2, 2021 to leave from Havana, Cuba. Unfortunately the government of Cuba shut down all flights. In May of 2021 we requested a refund since it was apparent that only flights financially benefiting the Cuban government would be leaving Cuba. Caribbean Airlines did advise it would take up to 5-6 months to process the refund. We are now almost to a year with no refund. When I contact the refund department of Caribbean Airlines they send an auto email that someone will call within 48 hours. Of course no one calls. When I call the customer service line then I get put on hold multiple times then always eventually a disconnected line every single time. This is disrespectful and fraudulent. I want my money returned!

He made things happen for us.

"refund process will take a minimum of 9 months"

(Trinidad & Tobago)

Trip Verified | Cancelled a return flight purchased through Caribbean Airlines. It was a FLEX/economy flight which states it's 100% refundable. But of course, you must read the fine print which says there is a USD$50 processing fee. The refund process will take a minimum of 9 months. I can see other people leaving reviews are still waiting on their refunds. Basically, you are paying them to sit on your money for 9+ months. If customer service was better and explained why it was so ridiculous, this would have been a better experience but of course, it was terrible. They were extremely short and rude. Unfortunately, CAL is the only airline flying to Trinidad & Tobago. As soon as any other airlines start flying to Trinidad & Tobago, fly with them instead.

"not yet received my refund"

(United States)

Not Verified | I was supposed to fly on Caribbean Airlines in October 2020 to Kingston. However Caribbean airlines cancelled my flight and wanted to put me on another flight 14 hours later. This was not convenient for the purpose of my travel so I told them that that flight would not suffice. They told me it could take “up to ninety business days for a refund”. It is now seven months since September 30, 2020 and I have not yet received my refund of $493. I have contacted the airlines at least five times now. I have contacted Expedia. I have contacted BBB and I have even written an email to the CEO of the airlines. All they are telling me is that my refund was submitted to the refund department.
