I have just been advised by LIAT reservation staff that they will not be accepting online bookings for flights later than September 2017 ......until June! (I am trying to book ANU-EIS-ANU). Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know if there is an underlying problem with LIAT which we need to know about (apart from the obvious!)? Thanks, Mark N>B I note that LIAT have recently stopped offering routes to the USVI.

Also look at Intercaribbean as an option, they are direct from ANU and are pretty reliable (but not daily).
