Caribbean Airlines

Caribbean Airlines operates as a full-service regional carrier focused on serving the Caribbean basin with connections to North and South America. From a traveler’s perspective it functions as the national carrier for Trinidad and Tobago, offering scheduled inter-island services alongside medium-haul international routes. The airline is not part of a major global alliance but uses codeshare and interline partnerships to expand its connectivity.

Caribbean Miles 2 Caribbean Airlines' Frequent Flyer Program

Caribbean Miles is the airline’s loyalty program; members earn miles on Caribbean Airlines flights and with participating partners, and those miles can be redeemed for award travel and upgrades. The program includes elite benefits for frequent flyers, and it is generally worthwhile to credit flights to Caribbean Miles if you often fly within the region or on the airline’s North/South American services. Specific partner airlines and tier names vary, so check the program terms for current earning rates and redemption rules.

Its network focuses on short regional hops between islands and medium-haul flights connecting the Caribbean to major cities in the United States, Canada and nearby South American countries.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

Caribbean Airlines operates a mix of turboprop aircraft for short inter-island hops and narrowbody jet aircraft for medium-haul routes to North and South America. Cabins are typically configured for economy travel, with a premium/business seating option available on some international services; long-haul lie-flat beds are not a regular feature of the network.

Tips for Flying Caribbean Airlines

• Check the fare rules and included baggage allowance before booking, as allowances can differ by route and fare type.
• Allow extra connection time at Piarco (POS) for immigration and security when connecting internationally through Trinidad and Tobago.
• Use online check-in and the airline’s mobile tools to choose seats and manage bookings, especially for peak-season Caribbean travel.
• If you travel frequently within the Caribbean or to the airline’s North/South American routes, crediting flights to the carrier’s loyalty program is usually worthwhile.
• Book popular island and holiday-season flights well in advance, as frequencies can be limited and seats sell out quickly.
