Caribbean Airlines-British Airways agreement ends

Caribbean Airlines launched its codeshare service with British Airways between Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, and London on March 25. Under the codeshare agreement signed late last year, Caribbean Airlines partnered with British Airways to offer daily flights from Barbados and Trinidad to London’s Gatwick Airport. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the Boeing 777 flights originate in Trinidad, stop in Barbados and continue on to Gatwick. On the remaining days, the flight originates in Barbados, but Caribbean Airlines operates a shuttle service to provide a seamless connection to the BA London flight. Caribbean Airlines’ customers can redeem frequent flyer rewards on the London flights.

Caribbean Miles customers are advised that due to the expiration of its Frequent Flyer agreement with British Airways, members of both programmes will be able to earn miles on either airline up to the expiration date of 27 March.

As of March 27, both British Airways and BW members will have 30 days to book and to be ticketed for reward flights on either carrier. These tickets will be valid for 12 months from the date of issue. Caribbean Miles customers should therefore note that the last date of acceptance for completed travel will be no later than April 27.

Both British Airways and Caribbean Airlines members will be able to apply for retroactive credit of miles earned up to six months after the partnership expiration date of March 27. Therefore the last date for the submission of these requests will be no later than 27 September 27.

Caribbean Miles customers would no longer be able to earn miles for travel on flights operated by British Airways March 27 or to redeem miles for travel on flights operated by British Airways after April 27.

Executive Club customers would no longer be able to earn miles for travel on flights operated by BW after March 27 or to redeem miles for travel on flights operated by BW after April 27.
