Despite their online claim that you should be able to book flights 330 days in advance, the LIAT web site won't currently accept any reservations for dates later than September 2017.
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.

IMHO
LIAT = Lost in Another Time
or
LIAT = Luggage in Another Terminal.

I've used them further south in the Grenadines, and can't recommend them all that highly, but they are often the only game in town.

Thanks,

(Also, LIAT = Leave Island Any Time)
'Only Game in town' is exactly the issue.

I used LIAT last year with no issues. This year I used Seaborne as they were codeshare with JetBlue and I could use points. Didn't have any issues and thought it was a relatively well run operation.

I don't believe Liat is your only choice

I think someone posted that Liat was getting out of the Tortola market. Perhaps that is the date service ends.

If you are booking to the UK, you will get a better rate with Expedia.com from LGW - ANU - EIS - unless of course you need to book with miles etc. Looking at Expedia, there are return flights for $900 in September - with the ANU-EIS leg with Intercaribbean!
Also look at Intercaribbean as an option, they are direct from ANU and are pretty reliable (but not daily).
