Well I flew on their ancient L1011 last year. Relax, it is now grounded. However they do wet lease a Portugese L1011 for some services into LHR & the weekly MAN service.
We were bussed out from the gate at MAN to the wrong aircraft ( a Virgin 747)

My return trip from BGI to MAN was cancelled, we were eventually flown out to Trinidad and then eventually to LHR, where our shuttle tickets were deemed wrongly made out by BWEE, arriving in MAN about 9 hours late.

Their single A340 is ex Air Canada & does NOT have seat back entertainment & one of the toilet doors fell off. Apart from that it was a good trip, you pay for all drinks in economy.

You get the traditional Barbaden feel as soon as you step aboard, chilled out , relaxed & laid back, we're late.........but hey were're here.......have some rum punch. Crews seemed friendly enough.
