LIAT

The major airline in the region is called LIAT. Locals say it stands for Leaves Island Any Time, warning us that they may leave earlier or later without notice. Indeed they were right. We booked a LIAT flight for 10.35am. At the airport we could not find our flight but our flight number at 09.45am. We first thought we missed our flight but then learned it was delayed to 11.05am. The best was that THE other passenger (we were only 3 to board) had the same ticket as we had but with 09.45am on it. So three passengers, two booked at 10.35, one at 09.45 but all on the same flight number and take off at 11.05.

On the upside they have a very handy seat arrangement – ideal for card games.
