Routinely Derailed
I apologize if this has been posted before. It elicited a chuckle and not-so-fond travel memories. From Fox news:

"How to write a complaint letter -- read this hilarious note from a frustrated airline passenger," tweeted Branson, founder of the Virgin Group. He even wrote a blog post about it.
According to the less-than-pleased passenger, named Arthur Hicks, he and his fellow passengers where forced to endure multiple stops and delays on a recent flight. Originally published in April in a local newspaper--it was later spotted by Branson.

Dear LIAT,
May I say how considerate it is of you to enable your passengers such an in-depth and thorough tour of the Caribbean.
Most other airlines I have travelled on would simply wish to take me from point A to B in rather a hurry. I was intrigued that we were allowed to stop at not a lowly one or two but a magnificent six airports yesterday. And who wants to fly on the same airplane the entire time? We got to change and refuel every step of the way!
I particularly enjoyed sampling the security scanners at each and every airport. I find it preposterous that people imagine them all to be the same. And as for being patted down by a variety of islanders, well, I feel as if I've been hugged by most of the Caribbean already. I also found it unique that this was all done on "island time," because I do like to have time to absorb the atmosphere of the various departure lounges. As for our arrival, well, who wants to have to take a ferry at the end of all that flying anyway? I'm glad the boat was long gone by the time we arrived into Tortola last night -- and that all those noisy bars and restaurants were closed.
So thank you, LIAT. I now truly understand why you are "The Caribbean Airline."
P.S. Keep the bag. I never liked it anyway.
