*LIAT: Leave Island Any Time.
*GULF AIR: Get Use To Late Flights And Incorrect Reservations.
*PAL(Phillipines Airlines): Plane Always Late. But after some improvement it is now Prompt At Last.
*There are some others such as Saudia, Lufthansa, Qantas, etc... which I cannot post them in here, because they contain some politically incorrect connotations.
Happy New Year you all.
