Passenger Arthur Hicks’ miserable
airline experience with LIAT, Caribbean Airline this past April
resulted in a complaint letter that has gone viral. Check this out!
Dear LIAT,
May I say how considerate it is of you to enable your passengers such an in-depth and thorough tour of the Caribbean.
Most other airlines I have travelled on would simply wish to
take me from point A to B in rather a hurry. I was intrigued that we
were allowed to stop at not a lowly one or two but a magnificent six
airports yesterday. And who wants to fly on the same airplane the entire
time? We got to change and refuel every step of the way!
I particularly enjoyed sampling the security scanners at each
and every airport. I find it preposterous that people imagine them all
to be the same. And as for being patted down by a variety of islanders,
well, I feel as if I’ve been hugged by most of the Caribbean already.
I also found it unique that this was all done on “island
time,” because I do like to have time to absorb the atmosphere of the
various departure lounges. As for our arrival, well, who wants to have
to take a ferry at the end of all that flying anyway? I’m glad the boat
was long gone by the time we arrived into Tortola last night — and that
all those noisy bars and restaurants were closed.
So thank you, LIAT. I now truly understand why you are “The Caribbean Airline.”
P.S. Keep the bag. I never liked it anyway.
