LIAT raising regional airfares Friday, June 01, 2007 06:40 PM
"LIAT (1974) Ltd would like to clearly state that it is committed to regional travel and to having transparent policies as far as its pricesare concerned”. – LIAT (1974) Ltd. April 15, 2007 “WHAT SPARKED this response from LIAT officials was months of comments and complaints from travellers about the high cost of travelling the region,” reports Carol Martindale for nationnews.com “For months this has been the complaint, and for months airline officials have countered with explanations. Still, travellers vented their feelings about whatthey were being asked to pay to “hop” to a neighbouring island.” “This issue came into sharp focus with a letter when Beverley Walrond wrote a letter to THE NATION in April condemning the cost of air travel in the region,” reports Martindale. “A trip booked on LIAT to Antigua cost her BDS$834.70. She gave a breakdown of the cost of her trip, including all the taxes to be paid on both legs of the trip.” “This letter fuelled many more complaints from the travelling public some of whom queried the reasons behindthe spiraling fares,” reports Martindale. “One question asked by a concerned Barbadian was: “Are you, the leaders, encouraging movement throughout the islands or is it to discourage?"” “What further incensed travellers was when carnival-goers were quoted fares between$500 and $800 to travel to Trinidad,” reports Martindale. “High prices were also quoted for St Lucia during February and again for Jazz in Tobago last month.” “With all the negative feedback they were getting about their fares, LIAT officials quickly sprung into action with a full response.” “The airline explained: “In circumstances where tickets were purchased close to the travel date and seats were already heavily booked, fares are likely to be higher."," reports Martindale. WhereToStay.com’s comment: For those of you that do not know, many locals and tourist refer to LIAT airlines and “Late if at all” or “Leave at any time”. Not a stellar record for on-time departures.

No apologies and no sense of urgency to find them or address my sense of grievance Friday, July 27 10:15 AM Comment by: from DominicaAnd here is the latest - LIAT will no longer accept new enrollments into their frequent flyer programme. In other words - now we have no choice, they’re certainly not going to reward customer loyalty. How cynical is that?
