All this week we have been receiving inquiries for flights to Tobago after Carnival. As most of you may have already known, flights are pretty much all booked and unavailable online, except for one on Carnival Tuesday departing at 5:25 pm. We know you stared at it for quite some time contemplating whether or not to forgo the money you already invested on your Tobago accommodation or cut your time short on the road.
What you may not have known is that the lone vessel sailing between Trinidad and Tobago has recently ran into certification issues causing trips between the islands to be canceled. In response, Caribbean Airlines (CAL) have decided to increase it’s capacity between the sister islands until February 14th, to accommodate those who were stranded. While priority will be given to these stranded passengers, it also provides another avenue for those attempting to travel to Tobago between now and the 14th and do not have a ticket. It is a long-shot and may even be a hassle, but we wanted to keep you informed and hopefully save you from missing that wine when the lights go down or losing money.
If you are close to the airport, you won’t miss the next performance if you decide to stop in by CAL’s check-in counter and inquire about some of those later flights on Tuesday 13th. See memo from CAL below with increased schedule below.
CARIBBEAN AIRLINES INCREASES CAPACITY TO SUPPORT INTER-ISLAND TRAVEL
Port of Spain, February 08, 2018. Caribbean Airlines advises that based on the current sea conditions that have created challenges on the sea-bridge, the airline will provide support for inter-island travelers, and will increase capacity on the air bridge between February 7 – 14.
Caribbean Airlines is working closely with the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago and priority will be given to passengers disrupted by the ferry cancellations. There is a process in place to accommodate these passengers.
In addition to its current schedule of 20,444 seats, the airline will increase capacity by 4,720 more seats for the period as follows:
