I was told yesterday by American Airline employees that American Eagle flights to Dominica stop on 31st March 2013. What will we have then Liat with their poor record and non existent customer service. I had been trying to book a return flight San Juan to Dominica next June and after many excuses They admitted no flights to Dominica after I st April 2013. What stay over tourists will be here then, few if any I am afraid
The UK government has increased fares significantly and the cost of travelling to the Caribbean is very high. People from the Caribbean who suffers the most when comes to these affairs.
Meanwhile in Dominica… 0.
