Review of British West Indian Airlways - BWIA by danieletheridge

Advantages: Very good domestic, gets you from A to B
Disadvantages: Poor international meals, bad In-Flight Entertainment

British West Indian Airlines, also known as BWIA, also known as BWee, are an airline operating out of the West Indies serving 21 destinations, including London, Toronto, New York, Barbados and Caracas. They operate a daily flight between London Heathrow and Trinidad. They also run domestic routes within the Caribbean, but only a limited service here, like in between the main islands - Antigua and Barbados. They do have a reasonably large fleet, ...
...out how many 'planes they have. Ordering Tickets... BWee now have a new e-reservation system on the internet called EBooking. This makes buying tickets much easier. So their great prices are now easier to get to! BWee is cheap, and you'll find plenty of special offers on their site, so keep your eyes peeled! INTERNATIONAL ROUTES The main idea of BWIA is to be a kind of feeder to all the domestic Caribbean airlines. The intention is to kind of ... Read review

Britain Worst Investment Abroad.
Review of British West Indian Airlways - BWIA by bazza1603

Advantages: Better to Walk If Able.None at all unless you like to fly on elderly aircraft
Disadvantages: Poor basic customer service.No backup if flight is delayed.

British West Indies Airlines (BWIA) have recently added a Manchester to Port of Spain service Via Barbados to their UK destination. The route is serviced by there one and only Tristar aircraft, which has recently transferred from the London services. The London route is now operated by a Air Canada Airbus painted in BWIA colours as BWIA couldnot afford to buy new aircraft which it had on order from Airbus. Routes ++++++ The flight operates from ...
...Sunday. The return journey comes back on Thursday and Sunday Evenings. This flight offers connections with both BWEE Express and LAIT onto other Caribbean Island but before you do read the bit on Bridgetown airport. Bridgetown Airport ++++++++++++++ I would not recommend changing at Bridgetown airport as it is the worst airport I have ever come across. The staff cannot be found even at ticket desks. The staff you can find are unhelpful, rude and ... Read review

BWIA. Customer service & safety.
Review of British West Indian Airlways - BWIA by zennan101

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poor Customer Service. Questionable Safety

Having failed to elicit even an acknowledgement from BWIA about our concerns you may find the following of interest. Expect delayed departures: We left Heathrow 7 hours late. Did we get a meal voucher? Yes we did but no one bothered to tell us you could only use it Landside and as we were told to proceed Airside this did not help. You might like to note that there is no possibility of encountering any staff representing BWIA once you get airside ...
...is neatly denied you. BWIA operates two Airbus aircraft on a shuttle to the Caribbean. One is fairly new and is OK with reasonable leg room even in economy and most things work. The other has seems to have been aquired from the equivalent of a back street car lot. It's tired, none of the inflight entertainment works neither do half the loos. The seat pitch on this aircraft is definitely geared for short haul cattle class and not International travel. ... Read review

beewee good on a budget
Review of British West Indian Airlways - BWIA by mbmb11

Advantages: cheap, reliable
Disadvantages: uncomfortable, basic in flight

BWIA, British West Indian Airways, or commonly referred to as beewee is an airline that flies to the west indian islands about once a week from Heathrow. This airline usually provide low cost flights to the west indies, and if you search for discounted air fares, you'll probably be offered a BWIA flight. BWIA prices are much cheaper than the Major airlines that serve the same destinations, however, in this case you definately do get what you pay ...
...with British Airways. My partner however, recently flew with beewee. It was our differing flying experiences to the same destination that promted me to write this opinion. BWIA planes are, i am told, one of the safest and reliable makes of aircraft. (I think the man at heathrow called it a tristar). The onboard experience though appears to be quite different. The aisles are not spacious at all, and there is not even enough leg room to stretch ... Read review

bwee:london to guyana, via port of spain
Review of British West Indian Airlways - BWIA by frankthetank

Advantages: usually main carrier throughout
Disadvantages: in flight entertainment

i have read that many people do not like bwee, for their lack of time-keeping, their rude staff, their poor food, their poor entertainment, their bad connections, the list goes on and on!! i have now flown bwee from london to guyana, via port of spain, trinidad, 5 times now, and have never experienced anything like the above statements, with the exception of in-flight entertainment. time-keeping.. the logest delay i have had is for 1 hour, at heathrow ...
...a warning light being on in the cockpit! whoa there!! a pilot delaying the flight for safety reasons....damn take all the time you want sir!! needless to say i was very impressed at this! rude staff!!! i always talk to airline staff with the respect they truly deserve! maybe this is why i have never experienced a rude member of staff! i am a cab driver in my home town, so have dealt with my fair share of rude people, people who think they are better ...
