from all the posts i' ve read about liat, i' m a bit leery about taking them because of the delays and high luggage issues. we' re thinking it may make more sense to take svg. is svg air much more reliable in terms of luggage and what not? also, safety wise, are their small planes pretty safe or just as safe as liat' s ?

the routine was the same, a quick phone call from canouan to say he was about to board the plane and less than 15 minutes later, he was home. sunday he never came as nicha waited outside the airport. within five minutes of the customary scheduled arrival she went checking at the svg air passenger services desk but the office was closed. she went to the svg air hangar but no one there knew anything. she checked the pilot of the last flight in from canouan but rasheed was not onboard. she called a management official of the airline who dismissed it .

measured on a passenger - distance calculation, air travel is the safest form of transportation available: figures mentioned are the ones shared by the air industry when quoting air safety statistics. a typical statement, e. g. , by the bbc :
uk airline operations are among the safest anywhere. when compared to all other modes of transport, on a' fatality per mile basis', air transport is the safest — six times safer than traveling by car; twice as safe as rail .
[ 41 ]
per every billion kilometers traveled, trains have a fatality rate 12 times over air travel; by comparison, fatality rates for automobiles are 62 times greater than air travel. by contrast, for every billion journeys, buses are the safest form of transportation. by the last measure, air transportation is three times more dangerous than car transportation, and almost 30 times more dangerous than bus. [ 43 ]
however, when measured by fatalities per person transported, buses are the safest form of transportation. the number of air travel fatalities per person is surpassed only by bicycles and motorcycles. this statistic is used by the insurance industry when calculating insurance rates for air travel. [ 42 ]
in the united kingdom, the agency responsible for investigation of civilian air crashes is the air accidents investigation branch (aaib) of the department for transport. its purpose is to establish the circumstances and causes of the accident and to make recommendations for their future avoidance.

second thing we realized. it’s possible to take scheduled flights
off route
. for example there are no official scheduled flights between bequia to union. however we learned that the flight from st. vincent to union sometimes stops in bequia to pick people up if needed. we emailed svg air and they confirmed that this does happen but the flight we requested could not be requested for a bequia pick up. so if you want to fly from bequia to union and skip having to ferry to st. vincent to do so, you should email svg air way in advance to see if it’s possible. there may be other legs that this can happen... for example our plane from union to grenada came from carriacou which is
off route
so you could have theoretically flown from carriacou to union .
thanks for the great advice. we' ve decided we' ll definitely go with the svg option, especially since the price difference is not very much at all. it seems like a lot less hassle, and more likely our luggage will arrive with us: )

with a list of 7 inhabited islands and about 25 cays that makes up saint vincent and the grenadines, it is a mammoth task and none the less, a robbery to your adventurous side to only highlight a select few islands to advertise our slice of paradise. however, we have provided a snapshot of the major islands and their respective tourism guide links for your ecstasy and discovery. these are some of the islands that svg air has linked over 25 years through its aviation services and wonderful staff .
it' s the way of the grenadines... most places take days to answer emails, some don' t even have an email. svg certainly doesn' t seem to have any lack of customers for it, that' s for sure. seems like the flights to bequia get sold out earlier every year .

you can use online check - in, if your journey starts on an air new zealand operated flight. online check in is not available for unaccompanied minors and some passengers requiring special assistance .
first of all the website is out of date for scheduled flight information. . sort of. you need to email or call them for updated schedules. for example the website shows 8: 35 am departure from union to grenada but the actual time listed on the booking confirmation is 8: 15 am. here is where it gets interesting. svg air told us we had to check in no closer then 45 minutes before the flight. . so we were at union airport by 7: 00am to be safe. there was no svg air employees on premises until 8: 00 so clearly the check in time was incorrect. the inbound aircraft landed at 8: 30ish and we departed around 8: 35 - 8: 40ish... so ironically the website departure time of 8: 35 was correct. i know this is all technical but i wish they clarified more what the times mean (if they are check in times, departure times, etc)... that way you don’t have to sit at the airport for an extra long time if you don’t need to .

while attempting to hasten skyeurope' s demise in june 2009, wizz air claimed it had been
profitable for several years
.

[ 16 ] losses since commencing operations total €78 million, which, in 2009, fueled suggestions that the airline would file for bankruptcy. [ 17 ] since then wizz air reported profits in 2012, [ 18 ] in 2013, in 2014 [ 19 ] and in 2015. [ 2 ] wizz air has the second lowest cask (cost per available seat km) among european airlines. [ 19 ]
the five - seat plane was on a routine flight from canouan in the grenadines to the mainland st vincent. on final approach to the et joshua airport around 6: 51 pm, as the pilot was descending 1100 feet over bequia he radioed the control tower to advise on his position and seek permission to land. he was cleared for landing and advised the tower that he should be on the ground around 6: 55 pm. he never landed and they never noticed that the plane had not arrived until after 8: 00 pm when svg air triggered the alarm. the search started around 9: 30 pm .
one thing to remember with svg. their luggage capacity is limited, so the actual weight limitations on baggage are less that on the other airlines. that said, they will usually weight your baggage and you, and if the plane reaches maximum capacity just with bodies, your luggage will come on a later flight. . keeping in mind these caveats, it is the way to go. enjoy !

i would definitely recommend flying direct with svg. a lot quicker and a lot less hassle. on the face of it a little more expensive but by the time you' ve taken into account taxis between the airport and the ferry on st vincent (and possibly an overnight stay if you miss the last ferry), not by much. i always pack a change of clothes and swimwear in hand luggage just in case - very occasionaly, lugagge can be delayed if the flight is busy or your connection is tight. not aware of any safety issues .
