Caribbean Airlines: A Guide to Flights Between the Caribbean Islands

The fleet

The fleet combines ten ATR 72-600 aircraft, used on the shortest inter-island routes, and nine Boeing 737-8 jets for the longer links to North America. The first leased Embraer E175 regional jets are being introduced, along with new ATRs and some dedicated cargo aircraft among the ATRs and 737-800s: an expansion meant to diversify the offering beyond passengers alone.

Routes and network

The ATR 72s link Port of Spain with destinations such as Bridgetown, Curaçao, Dominica, Georgetown, Grenada, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent, as well as the high-frequency link between Trinidad and Tobago. The 737s instead fly to Miami, New York JFK, Toronto and London, connecting the Caribbean diaspora with the islands of origin. The link to Caracas was suspended in September 2025.

On board and loyalty

Onboard service follows the standard of a traditional regional carrier, with a meal included on longer flights and its own loyalty program, Caribbean Miles, designed for frequent travelers between the islands and to North America.

What passengers say

Travelers' verdicts credit the airline with a role that no other carrier replicates with the same breadth in the region.

• Reasons for praise: the only direct link for many smaller islands otherwise reachable only with multiple stops, good frequency on the Trinidad-Tobago route.
• Most recurring reasons for criticism: not infrequent delays on the longer North American routes, complaint handling judged slow by some passengers.

Caribbean Airlines is the natural choice for anyone who needs to reach a smaller Caribbean island that no other carrier links directly, or for members of the Caribbean diaspora living in Miami, New York, Toronto or London. It is less suitable for anyone with a tight connection in Port of Spain onto an ATR flight, because delays on the long-haul routes can ripple through the inter-island network. Always check the status of the route to South America before planning a connection to Venezuela, since some services have recently been suspended.
