Jet Service, Miami to Dominica, just in time for the 2021 Christmas Rush


Tickets have already gone on sale for a new jet service to the island of Dominica. American Airlines for the first time will fly direct between Miami and Dominica starting December 8th

The service will operate twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday, departing Miami International Airport at 11am and arriving at Douglas-Charles Airport at 3:21pm. The return flight will leave Dominica at 4:24pm and arrive in Miami at 6:55pm

This route decision by American Airlines comes after a successful proving flight, which occurred last month. The airline used an Embraer jet for the test run, and it will be the South American made plane that will be used when the new service kicks off. The Embraer will have both business class and economy seating. 

American Airlines will be offering a similar service to the island of Anguilla beginning in December.

Trinidad and Tobago Kidnap Movie Kills At Box Office

The Cutlass cutting it up after very successful debut in Toronto By Stephen Weir for the Caribbean Camera Kidnapping is a cottage industry in Trinidad. The Trinidad Guardian says that it “is a crime so epidemic that Trinidad ranks second in the world only behind Colombia for its rate of abductions”. Trinidad is so synonymous with the crime that it is not surprising that a kidnap movie made on Tobago has gained a global following!   Since its 2017 Canadian debut in Toronto at the local Caribbean Tales Film Festival, The Cutlass has become one of the most successful T&T feature films made. “We've actually had a bit of news for The Cutlass since we were in Toronto in September,” film producer Drew Umland told the Caribbean Camera. “ “Independent films with a very limited marketing budget really have an uphill battle trying to reach their market.  It truly is a grass roots effort.  Showing The Cutlass at festivals like Caribbean Tales FF in Toronto really make
