Just heard (indirectly) from Jason stranded by Air Jamica in Mo Bay. The flight left BWI late, as "they were holding the plane" for the 12 people connecting onto Bonaire, yeah, right sure, no worries Mon. Then they failed to have promised room and food vouchers ready when the plane and weary travelers arrived in Jamaica. Of course you have a hurricane a few hundred miles away, so a day in Mo Bay with the rain, and wind should of been a special experience.

Oh, today's flight from BWI left an hour late again, wanna bet they hold the plane with the next flight being on Wed. American Airlines from N'Awlins looks better and better as does the fast ferry from Curacao to Bonaire.

Sorry to hear about being stranded. AJ held the plane for us on two separate occasions...I guess it is "hit and miss" with the holding of the planes.....hope all works out in the end. Carole

Now that was an obivious miss... as to it "working" out, I am sure it will be fine, nothing Jason enjoys more than to lose a day or more of vacation and diving.

Honestly I pity the folks with Air Jam in Mo Bay, Jay will either end up with a 1st class suite at 5-star hotel or in the local slammer... not that is "hit or miss"

Did not mean to upset you, Kelly. No one enjoys losing time from vacation or the general hassle that goes along with such disruptions. My apologies....

Carole, Jeeez no apologizes are necessary and you certainly did not upset me, I am sitting here in N'Awlins waiting my turn to go.

I was expressing sympathy and frustration for my Brother and anyone else who has "X" number days vacation of which a least one was arbitarily taken away by Air Jamaica. There is no way you can recoup that loss.

Well for the "readers", the Air Jam flight was completed 24 hours late. All arrived Bonaire safely, nobody served serious jail time.

Received a voice mail from Air Jamaica 2 weeks ago re: a change in our IT. Originaly we were scheduled to leave Boston On Weds. Nov 21-- Seems that AJ canceled the Weds flights leaving and returning to Boston--to Montego Bay. Spoke to a AJ rep who was very helpful and we are now due to arrive in Bonaire Sat--Nov 17.
Anyone who might have a Weds scheduled flight on AJ originating or returning from Boston should check the status.
