The entertainment was ok. Overall I had a great time flying with Caribbean Airline and I will surely fly with Caribbean Airline again."

I did not like the vegetarian sandwich the bread was too hard and dry and the vegetables was mediocre."

Pros: "Nice crew, easy on line and airport check in. Flight slightly delayed but arrived on time."
Cons: "The San Andrés airport was way too small for all the passengers. People sitting in the aisles, clogging up fire exits, Very unsafe. The AC was too low, locals were fanning themselves.

Cons: "There was no wifi on the plane but I know LATAM is working on getting that. Other than that, it was perfect."
Cons: "Disaster started at noon of the day of flight. Got notification flight delayed by 2 hours. That means I miss my coonection. Options for changes meant getting to destination 24 hours a later or with extra stop. I managed to buy a much better direct flight same day from different airline. And cheaper. I was so lucky. Getting refund for this disaster itinerary. But it worked out in the end."
Departure was delayed by one hour, and even though I was in premium economy, they had run out of the protein meal option, and just had pasta.
My luggage was delayed for three days. Had to wear the same clothes for that same time. There were no clothes stores in the part of Athens I was staying. My concerns were not their top priority.
Lost luggage. Air canada Airport service for luggage claim was awful.
The fact that you are sending me a survey asking me about a connection that was missed speaks to the level customer service that was present throughout this trip.
Cons: "crew could have been more professional, the signs for boarding were confusing"
Cons: "They changed planes and the seats I paid for at reservation were different on the new plane. No warning!!"
Pros: "Amazing staff, service, comfort, food, entertainment! Already looking forward to our flight home - the cabin crew was hilarious and so great to have onboard. Love it!"
Cons: "Only thing I can complain about is that we sat on the ground for over an hour and left 1.5 hours late. We had a layover before our connecting flight so it wasn’t a problem for us."
Pros: "Ride was comfortable and the entertainment was great even thought i slept the whole ride."
Cons: "flight delayed due to late flight attendents"
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "This flight was overbooked and even though I booked in November for this Dec 30th flight I was given a seat 30 cm across from the bathroom. The crew area for meal Preparation etc was also directly behindmy seat. Needless to say, I got no sleep on this eight hour flight, had to endure disgusting smells from the bathroom and people hitting my seat every time they passed by bc this is an area where there is not usually a seat. Everyone waiting for the bathroom was in my bubble. To add salt in the wound, the TV and light for reading also did not work. This was the worst flight I've ever had and I feel Air Canada put these 2 seats there as a money grab. No one should ever have to sit there, especially when paying full price."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Plane was cramp, no inflight refreshments offered other than beverage. No entertainment available on flight."
