"service was polite and understated"

(United Kingdom)

Before boarding the plane we arrived at Port of Spain airport early from our transfers and we were delighted to be allowed to check in early, breeze through security and spend a few hours in the delightful Caribbean Airlines lounge - nice and relaxed in there and pretty good selection of food available. Strangely though while spirits were readily available wine and beer were on request which I found a little odd. Boarding was a free for all with passengers ignoring the boarding staff completely much to the annoyance of the gate staff. Upon boarding the plane was amazed to be on a wide bodied 767 which I didn't know flew this route. We were in 2J and 2K and having experienced a slightly cramped 737 flight on the outward leg were delighted with the idea of flat beds and tons of leg room. The flight departed on time and the jovial captain detailed our route. About 20 minutes into service drinks and nuts were served including a perfectly chilled Moët and Chandon before dinner service We had preselected our meals, and our thoughts that Carribean serve some of the best inflight meals we have ever tasted were confirmed with a superbly spicy Thai Green Chicken Curry for me, and a equally nice Thai Green Tofu Curry for my partner which were served after salads and bread. Salmon and a Beef Pepperpot were also available. Impressive meals that were this months signature dishes, Sadly my seat didn't work much so had little chance to enjoy the flat bed, however my partners worked fine. Inflight entertainment was equally limited to 5 channels which did work in some seats and didn't work in others which was disappointing. However the legroom and comfort was far superior obviously to the outward journey. Service was polite and understated which I liked, from a pleasant crew, and we landed on time in JFK. Pleasantly surprised with our Carribean Airlines experience and will definitely use them again on these routes.

The lounge at JFK Terminal 4 is well appointed and nicely laid out with a decent selection of drinks and food. Boarding was punctual, we were seated in 1A and 1C. A soft drink was offered before takeoff. Seats were leather and old style first class with adequate leg room. Shortly after takeoff we were offered drinks - Moët and Chandon champagne and nuts. Caribbean Airlines now offer you the chance to preorder your meal and I had chosen a Tiger Prawn Masala with a Vegetarian Biryani for my partner. Without a doubt these were two of the best airline meals we have tasted. Drinks were topped up throughout the flight by crew who were delightful - chatty, pleasant and a pleasant change from the norm. Our Saturday night flight landed 30 minutes early and we left relaxed and pleased with our choice

Took this flight (BW 474) to Orlando international airport on the 11th June 2015, check in was very quick and efficient, so to was the boarding procedure. The flight departed on-time (9.10am), service on the flight was excellent with the in-flight meal extremely tasty. We were served sausages with an omelette. The layover in Kingston, Jamacia was interesting with beautiful views of the ocean (there was a non stop flight to Orlando the next day but I needed to arrive one day early so I had to make a stop). Once again we were on our way to Orlando, this time there was only a beverage service due to the short flight, we arrived in Orlando on-time 3.15pm. On the return leg (BW 485) back to Trinidad and Tobago (POS) on the 22nd June 2015, check in and the boarding process was once again quick and efficient, this time I came back on a non-stop flight, the flight departed on time 3.15pm. The meal was once again delicious with lasagne being offered. The flight arrived 20 minutes before time! 7.00pm as has been all my flights with this airline. This trip in itself was a vacation, would recommend anyone to give them a try.

Packed lines for check in. We were sent through checkpoints and to a gate number. Then told to go to another one for some reason or another. So we had to pick up our stuff and walk to the other gate. We waited for the plane past the boarding time only to be told the plane had not arrived. This was 12.55 and the plane was schedule to leave at 1.45, needless to say it would be a delayed flight. When It was my turn to board they said I had to put my carry-on luggage in the hold because they had no more space. The flight was crowded and disorganized. The flight attendant used her hands to scoop up ice to give to my daughter. I will never travel this airlines again. The whole trip was just a mess.

Flew from Trinidad to St. Lucia and back in two days. Service friendly and on time. Bags came ok. Cabin Staff friendly and helpful but no on board catering. Very new and comfy ATR-72-600 and overall good service!

Flew from Barbados to Kingston last week. All in all it was a fine trip. Web check-in was efficient and baggage drop-off was smooth. Flight was perfectly on time the 737-800 cabin was in good condition and clean legroom was surprising good considering I measure 189 cm. Only slight complaint was although an announcement was made regarding in-flight entertainment and headsets were given out nothing was ever shown. Additionally it was announced that two options were available for the meal one being vegetarian. Once my row was reached there were no more vegetarian meals. The flight attendant was apologetic. Otherwise a rather "normal" flight!

I flew from Trinidad to Fort Lauderdale return in November 2014 in Business Class. The flight left on time and the return was also on time with a little hiccup in Fort Lauderdale airport (shared terminal means that boarding of the aircraft could be interrupted for an incoming aircraft disembarking passengers). The food on board was fantastic I had a lovely steak meal and cod meal for both going and returning. The Moet never stopped for the entire flight and the flight attendants were very attentive and polite. Would recommend Caribbean Airlines Business Class.

Took this flight from POS to JFK via GND on 24th December 2014 BW420 flight departed on time and arrived early to GND 15 minutes early with a departure from GND another 15 minutes early. We arrived at JFK half an hour before schedule! The food was excellent along with the professional service from the flight attendants made this an excellent flight which I would recommend to anyone planning to travel in the future.

(United Kingdom)

Travelled from LGW to POS return over Dec-Jan 2014/5. It was my first time travelling with Caribbean and it was recommended due to the non-stop service from the UK. The aircraft used is functional but a bit dated but the seat pitch was good and both flights were comfortable. The food provided was good and the cabin crew were pleasant both ways. Although there are seat back screens the IFE cannot compete with either BA or Virgin and there is no route map to give you an idea of where you are or when you will arrive. I know this is not essential but I suppose passengers may expect it. Overall a good service which is a valid option if you want to cut down travelling time on the route.

Flew on this airline on the 16th August 2014 POS-TAB and TAB-POS. At check-in counter at Piarco their main operational hub check-in was 2 hours before flight. I got there 1.5 hours before flight and no one from CAL was at counter so there were long lines of irate passengers. Flight crew very cold and unfriendly. Return flight even though it was touted as new ATR aircraft's was not cleaned and maintained inside and the air conditioning wasn't working.
