Concerned by new CAL plane flying to Cayman Brac
Why was the new Cayman Airways Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft flown into Cayman Brac (8 December) when the Cayman Airways Pilots Association and other senior captains in CAL’s management team have recommended against it because the runway in Cayman Brac is 1,000 feet shorter than Grand Cayman’s and the new aircraft is not designed […]

CAL explains seat selection costs
I have heard that Cayman Airways will soon be charging passengers for seat selection on flights. Could you find out if this is true?

Not happy with airfare to Sister Islands
I have a question on airfare cost to the Sister Islands. Recently, Cayman Airways (CAL) increased the return airfare from Grand Cayman to Cayman Brac by approximately US$12 if you’re travelling directly between CB/GCM.

Querying cost of flight to Little Cayman
Please find out why Cayman Airways Express Service charges more to fly to Little Cayman than to Cayman Brac. As far I know, Grand Cayman to Little Cayman is a shorter distance, and Cayman Airways does not pay any landing fees for Little Cayman but do pay for Cayman Brac (or is supposed to). Auntie’s […]
Unhappy with change in discounted airfare
I purchased tickets during the August sale that Cayman Airways had for travel dates during September 2017.
