Air Caraibes review by Veronica 2015-08-18

Overall a good flight. But I chose a seat near the exit in the middle of three seats. The seat was extremely narrow (I'm relatively slim) as there was a solid side underneath the handrest. This meant I was rather uncomfortable until I got used to it. This was made up for by having lots of leg room. I have now flown two return journeys on Air Caraibes between Orly and Pointe A Pitre 2014 and 2015 and each time was quite happy with the meal. I enjoyed the ti-punch (french Caribbean drink) and the presentation of the menu. The film selection was quite small but I liked the films. I did have trouble accessing a film I wanted to see on one flight. Once there was a problem with the AC while we were on the ground and the flight was a little delayed so we were getting really uncomfortably hot. But this was resolved and we took off within an hour. I have always found the stewards to be helpful. On one of the flights I found that water wasn't brought round often enough. If I could afford the next class up, I'd take it. But basically it's a pretty good deal (500 euros to the Caribbean in April) and completely acceptable. Direct competitor to AF and Corsair. Similar standard.
