I flew to ST H H I flew to St Lucia the first week of February on BWIA. I was not impressed with their service. I would comments about experiences good and bad with airline flights to the Caribean. On Saturday Feb 2, they left the gate 1 hour late because they had to deice the plane. We sat in the plane 30 minutes before any deicing started. Once in flight, the movie system would not work. On the return flight BWIA used a Tower Air instead of a BWIA L1011. It arrived two hours late, and left 4 hours late. It took an hour to handle the paper work or that is what the captain said, and once that was cleared, they could not start #3 engine. We arrived JFK at 1:30am rathr than 9:30 pm. Another friend arrived a day late because of probelH H problems with the cargo door. Irv McNair ATT Bell Labs Whiipany NJ

Our experiences were also the same. For our flight, they re-routed it without prior notice to make an extra stop in Jamica for a Reggie (sp?) band. The caribean locals seemed to have the attitude of "Well, you got there. You Americans are always in a hurry!" Al Gettier Teknekron Infoswitch
