Got any suggestions on where I should go next? Let me know!!!
Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.
I’ve flown on CAL business class before from JFK to POS. Really excellent flight. Impressive was that I was allowed three checked luggages at no extra cost.
I did as well and I agree
Child of a retired BWIA L-1011 pilot here. Enjoy your vlog and especially this episode ;)
If you travel to the airport in trinidad, business passengers can experience the caribbean airlines lounge....
I heard about their brand new lounge, it opened like a day or two before my flight too!
Yess it is open and we welcome you all
The ticket to go to Trinidad on caribbean is 5x more expensive than traveling to Jamaica Henry the reason trinis like to fly with the American carriers instead 😅
Awesome video!!! It was so cool seeing someone do a review on my home country’s airline. You should really do the flight next time to Trinidad! 🇹🇹
Thanks for sharing this trip report. Caribbean Airlines is the main airline of my home region and I am impressed with your thorough research! I am yet to fly on one of their MAXs but I'm sure their service now is just as great as I've experienced. They have always captured that uniquely Caribbean feel and flavour every time you're on-board. Thanks for showcasing the airline to your audience!

I fly Caribbean Airlines regularly and took three business class trips this year on the new 737. I love the leg room and space, the food is great and the flight attendants are always fantastic. Great video!
Wow this was really impressive! Caribbean airlines has come a long way
I always fly Caribbean Airlines, Ive been on the Atrs from Trinidad to Tobago and their 737 older model from Trinidad to Florida a few times. Ive always flown economy class but it was good!
same
Will be taking this flight from POS to JFK in about 2 weeks. The business class experience seems worth the money. Nothing like a taste of the caribbean 35,000 ft in the air! Can't wait!
I have flown Caribbean my whole life but I have never seen so much legroom before… I can’t wait to fly the MAX in December thanks for the idea
I have always preferred CAL over the American carriers to the region. I also remember the BWIA days, loved BeeWee!
First experience was on bee wee back in the 80s
@@b.c8437 wow!!! They must have been top notch then.
I flew on Caribbean Airlines from New York to Guyana and back on their 767. it was pretty sweet ngl
For a short haul Business Class, this basically tops the mark.
Visiting Trinidad and Tobago is a must 🏝
I have flown on CAL and BWIA for quite a number of years since their B 707s, the DC 9s, Tristars, etc. Their service has always been impressive.
I'll score this video a 9/10. Not only was it informative; it was beautifully clear, and included some taxi, takeoff, cruise and landing. You lost that 1 point for not walking to baggage claim (0.5) and exiting the airport (0.5). Well done though, mate! 🇬🇧🇯🇲
Nice.🍾
Thank you for reviewing my native Airline, I was hoping that some day someone would sample and review the service on CAL. I also appreciated your effort into mentioning the rich history of this beautiful Airline in which I flew on when I was kid. Anyway, thanks again and I hope you enjoy your stay in Jamaica.
Ive never taken CA before. I was a big fan of Air Jamaica dubbed "the most beautiful bird in the sky". I miss that airline. Great video. Now I will consider CA for Christmas travel.
They did have a beautiful livery too! Such a shame they no longer fly, but their legacy is being carried over with Caribbean!
This is wonderful !!! Hopefully they can extend their destinations to service more Caribbean islands!!! I wish them the best!!👍🏼
I had a fly with BWIA, many many years ago.. Barbados - Miami, only time i managed to fly Tristar L1011. Amazing. Great video !!
I was waiting for this tripreport. Glad you enjoyed it
I'm from the Caribbean Island of Antigua 🇦🇬 and a huge fan of your page. Its refreshing to see you flew our skies..thanks for your review
Thank you for sharing your nice trip. I agree with you about the partition there. For me, at larger one is better that comes further out of that storage.
6:58, as of now, you might be the only one who has actually posted a snippet of the new safety video online 😂
Had I known people want to see it, I would've posted more haha.
The way I can describe it is, they filmed it in the same set that virgin america did their safety video, lots of caribbean inspired colors, and snippets of the islands. No dance though :(
I felt really proud watching this. As a Jamaican familiar with Air J and BWIA I had no confidence in a Caribbean-based airline. This video has changed my mind. My only disappointing seeing is that the plane looked more than half empty. Can't be good for business. BW needs to find way to encourage more passengers to fly with them, starting with me people who once thought like me.
I mean, i Guess since this flight was in the middle of hurricane IAN making its way around the Caribbean, I can justify it not being as full. However yes, as some of my friends who were born in the Caribbean have told me, they all had major distrust for carriers down there, and they are all equally as happy and shocked about Caribbean’s positive turn the last few years! I’m glad you enjoyed!
That leg room 😮 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I had the good fortune of flying on BWIA’s 707 down to Barbados back in the day and also have fond memories of flying Air Jamaica DC-8’s to Jamaica. Yes Emil, I’m THAT OLD 🤣🤣🤣
Never heard of this airline the cabin looks nice
Do you know BWIA airline or ever heard of it well they took over from that airline 🙏 this is that national airline for the caribbean
I recently fly with carribbean airlines to Miami and ny they are always on time and the airline is very comfortable and spacious. Caribbean airlines for me has the best logo
Great video! I've always toyed with the idea of flying them to the Caribbean but never did it. That legroom is impressive.
yes it is
I think they are way better than Flying an American based airline from the US into the Caribbean
I hope you enjoyed your stay here 😊
Was waiting your report on this airline. Should've splurged and come to Trinidad though lol
Thanks for showcasing the lesser known airline BW.
Perhaps you can review this new dominican lcc Arajet soon. Good luck
Flew on one this past Sunday GEO to JFK, a very nice aircraft and friendly crew, it was surprisingly quiet, and this was seating 13b(economy) right above the wing.
Yes I flown Caribbean airlines I seated in enconomy from New York to guyana
I've been on their older aircraft in addition to the MAX8s. Both in business and economy. Tickets are pricey but the service is good and their on-time performance has improved over the years. I would recommend using them.
Hello, I never flew on the 737 Max before but I flew on the other Caribbean Airlines aircraft. The service on Caribbean Airlines is always top notch. I will fly around with them the whole day if it was possible.
I have flown BW 3 times. I haven’t had the chance to fly on the new aircraft yet. I’ve never flown first, but always economy to and from Trinidad either from MCO or FLL to visit family in Trinidad. They’re one of the best airlines I’ve flown. Great service, great FA’s, and the price is amazing.
My first flight ever was on the old BWIA. I can still remember my ears clogging and popping. They said “beewee” was always late BUT you’ll always get there. And now it’s legacy continues on as Caribbean Airlines. I look forward to flying their new 737 Max someday.
Very nice video vlog , I did enjoyed it, thanks for sharing it with us
Awesome video
I was there on September 9 2022 in the same terminal
This plane is so clean
It’s because it’s new
CAL has always been a clean plane, I should know since I’ve been flying with them since 1982 when they was bee wee. they operate at a very high cost and lose a lot of money in spite of, I should know because I also worked with them from 1983-85.
There’s a lot of things I despise about them especially their ground crew at piarco in port of spain, who make checking in a total hassle, but once you’re past that, then flying CAL is a very cool experience. it’s the only thing that makes me come back to that airlines, their inflight service and baggage policy.
Awesome tripreport
Lol on the wine glass, you should have asked the FA if you could have it :)
I last flew CAL from JFK to POS. Great experience. Access to the Virgin Atlantic lounge was a surprise but it was enjoyable.
I've flown on the max8 to Trinidad and Tobago my seat was uncomfortable because I was seated at the emergency exit and they don't recline 😭 no complaints about leg room and am 6'' 2"
That "privacy screen" is hilarious!
Thanks for flying Carribbean!!! Maybe you could take a visit down here one day
cool video on the 737 max 8 next time you should do trinidad
Love your vids and so glad you did one about Caribbean. I just have one small critique. the country is called Grenada, Granada is in Spain
Perfect timing at 0:40
I have never been on the max yet but i have been on the atr 72-600 at least once a year ive had a wonderful experience mostly on the old atr 72-600 on once i flew on one of the new one's which was 9y-TTJ
nice
The airline is Trinidad and Tobago owned my friend!
The Jamaican government also owns part of it! YOU are wrong
I've flown Caribbean Airlines many times from YYZ to POS, but never in business class. When my family and I moved to Canada in 1990, I think we flew on one of the last L1011s under the BWIA branding. I loved those planes, but they were beginning to show their age. They may have a reputation for not departing on time, but they have one of the best safety records in the aviation world. When I was returning to Toronto from Trinidad in 2020 (before COVID-19 hit), they switched the aircraft, because the pilots didn't feel confident in the aircraft we were supposed to use; there was some mechanical issue, so they swapped the plane. Even though it was an inconvenience for everyone who was already on board and seated, it's nice to know that the pilots care about safety. The next time I fly with them I want to try the business class. The FA in the video at the start looked like my niece, she works for the airline, but I don't think she's ever done that route. It also depends on what time of year you travel. During carnival season, expect the price of the tickets to be quite high. We usually go down around December, just don't travel on Christmas Eve, the airport is a madhouse.
I woulda enjoyed the champagne too! Cute airline.
Try Bahamasair next!
Thanks so a zillion sir, you just caught a fan from Nigeria 🇳🇬 in Africa, I really enjoyed this video
This airline is owned by Trinidad and Tobago
@@rosemariegray-olabiran7991 thanks a zillion ma'am
@@teazerfemi your welcome
So proud of we carrier 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
🇹🇹💎
Glad you had a good flight though. CAL is quite nicely prepared on all their planes.
Great review 👍 gotta love the service on Caribbean, I flew their dash 8 in 2009 was awesome
Loved this review glad you enjoyed your trip 🇹🇹
So close to 40K subs
Oh yes, been flying Caribbean Airlines going to Guyana
I find funny that Puerto Rico being in the Caribbean has no Caribbean Airlines service 😐
Last time we had a significant presence of international airlines was when AA still had the SJU hub open, after that, all One World airlines stopped service, leaving Iberia (Spain), Copa (Panama), Air Antilles, West Jet, Air Transat, Air Canada (3 Canadian), and Avianca (Colombia) as the only ones. Last news we heard but no more info has been revealed is that Viva Air is set to start service this year and probably Aero Mexico is coming back!
“Caribbean” Airlines
Iberia is a Oneworld member.
@@schalitz1 i know
Ojalá te allá hido bien
Will be flying CAL business to Toronto in September! May take your recommendation of the shrimp salad 😉
I've travelled to new York with them on their older models and the difference now is ,they serving less than before,but they ok,compared to other carriers I have used which only serves u a snack and a drink if u lucky.
im glad u liked it .... but as a trini i have mixed feelings lol XD i dont fly Caribbean airlines because its so expensive but the couple if times i have flown, really was outstanding indeed! i guess it depends on the person and how much they are willing to pay!
Thanks for the trip report on the airline of my country- Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹👏👏👍
Finally. Thank you and to my home country too 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Excellent trip report Emil!😸
Great report. I was wondering about the recline in Business Class. I lived and worked in Port of Spain in the nineties, covering the Caribbean with the UN, so I practically lived on BeWee as it was then called. Abrazos from Paramaribo, Suriname
Thank you! One of these days I hope to finally try out Suriname Airways from Miami!
Safe flight
we have definitely come a long way from the previous product
what a difference between European business class which is nothing (same chairs, limited service etc): superbe!!!
In my experience I notice smaller carriers have worse IFE selection, and that makes sense since they have less bargaining power than American, Lufthansa, or Emirates for example.
Maybe you can like go to somewhere where flights to Trinidad are a bit cheap. Like New York, Orlando and Miami could work too. Idk still
NICE! do Cayman Airways Next 😉
Was supposed to fly cayman that Same day. But due to the incoming storm they rescheduled the flight to leave 12 hours earlier to beat the storm. Hopefully I have a chance to fly them again in the near future
Yes I flew with Caribbean airlines in the past, the flight was good, the service also but the seating was very cramped, the flight was from JFK to Kingston Jamaica, so the new planes are welcome.
Trinbago STAND UP lol
Did you hear the pilot during boarding. “Please place your heavy bags under the seat infront of you. With light backs in the over head.😂😂
You can fly to Guyana from New York if you want a longer flight on CAL. It's 6-7 hours. It's pretty damn long if I'm being very honest.
Thank you for the video and the history tidbits. I did enjoy them. Does CAL business class passengers have access to a lounge at FLL?
Unfortunately not, FLL's terminal 4 didn't even have a lounge available until about a few weeks after this video, but that lounge is for American Express card holders only (as far as I am aware)
Looks nice
Wow! Highly impressed. I am a flight attendant for a US carrier and the MAX I work on is nothing compared to Caribbean Airlines. The meal service looked exceptional, especially with Moet as a wine selection! With that kind of service I am surprised they didn't hand out hot towels before serving the meals. However, I agree...I do see some financial wastage when they reconfigured the aircraft. It is 2022, they need to install WIFI on those aircrafts and do a better job with the movie and TV selections, especially with the exorbitant cost of tickets! The safety briefing should be seen by EVERY passenger especially if they are hearing-impaired. Do you know if the flight attendants manually conducted the safety demonstration for the economy passengers? If not, that is a safety issue. Overall, I am impressed with your video and will be using my flight benefits to travel on the MAX to go home to Trinidad. I need to see this in person.
よく観てます 日本の飛行機についてもリポートして欲しいです
Ew kardashian there had to be SOMETHING else on..... I am really impressed with their food service on such a short flight. I havent been on a plane in years due to a bad flight. Because of your channel Im taking jet blue mint to LA. Helped me get over my fear. thanks
Aside from the R-C lav, which is the worst, looks like they had impressive service. US carriers used to do that on short flights awhile ago. How was Kingston?
Can't beat that Caribbean food. It nourishes the body and soul. So glad the trip was enjoyable. Great Trip Report!
3:09... It's Grenada :)
Put really the carrier to shame. Another example of " It's not the plane itself, but the airline." Great video as always. How does seafood taste in plane by the way? Hopefully everyone is safe after Ian. It was monster for be honest
Maybe you should've drove to Miami Airport to head down to Trinidad. I'm not sure about the pricing but it should be alright still, right?
U should try Cayman Airways too👍🏽😎
My original plan had me flying back on cayman, but because of the incoming hurricane they moved the flight to leave earlier in the day. But they are high up on my bucket list, as is Surinam!
@@ITripReport oh ok but try it one day 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😁😁
I’ve been waiting for this one!
Been traveling on Air Jamaica since at the age of 5 until Jamaica sold it to Caribbean Airlines, Even tho they might be expensive, the best hostility they have in North America region. And I hope you do enjoy the island of land, wood and water. Jamaica 🇯🇲 likkle but we talawah
Great ❤❤❤to watch bless in Christ Jesus amen
You should review some northern USA/ Canadian airlines this coming winter if possible. Would love to see that :)
It's Grenada not Granada being a Grenadian myself .Flew on it when it was BWIA qnd had One Leased B707 , B727 , and L1011 and Air Jamaica when they had Airbus A320s
Will you fly them again ?
Hi, I just want to say I am from Trinidad & Tobago and that Caribbean Airlines is the carrier of Guyana, Jamaica and TT but the Government of Trinidad & Tobago strictly bought over and owns AirJamaica which means that it is only owned by The Government of Trinidad & Tobago. :) You're Welcome!
As Trinbagonians we also need to help properly educate people from miss information. CAL is a state own entity of Trjnidad and Tobago. CAL originated from the closure of BWIA also a TnT airline. CAL also brought out Air 🇯🇲. Other, the service is to be for the region and other international destination, so it would make sense to name the airline Carribbean airline representing the region. I know some may want to claim and out right place TT last on the list is not cool. Other great vid, if you didn't know, now you know 😉
OMG are the engines on the MAX 8 really that quiet?!
