Miami is the most popular regional weekend
destination that has direct flight service for Cayman Islands residents,
according to the results of last week’s cayCompass.com poll.
Of the 756 total respondents, 312 of them – 41.2 percent – said they were most likely to go to Miami for a long weekend.
“I could go to any one of those destinations, but for a long weekend, chances are it would be Miami,” said one person.
“Were it not for the tickets being so
expensive for such a short flight,” said someone else. “Why is it
cheaper to fly from the Bahamas to the US? Jamaica is a short stop and I
know many residents would go for a weekend ... but again, the monopoly
of Cayman Airways makes it an expensive choice. I do, however, support
the national airline and they do go the extra mile for their customers.”
“Miami, but Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are a close second.”
Let’s go to Panama
The soon-to-begin Cayman Airways route has
apparently attracted interest in Panama, as the second largest segment
of respondents – 117 people or 15.5 – said they were most likely to go
to the Central American country for a long weekend.
“I have never been, and would like to visit,” said one person.
Sisters weigh in
Another 114 people – 15.1 per cent – said
they were most likely to go to Cayman Brac or Little Cayman for a long
weekend, and 86 people – 11.4 per cent – said Cuba was the most likely
regional destination with direct flight service to which they would
travel for a long weekend.
Somewhat surprisingly, only 70 people – 9.3 per cent – said they were most likely to go to Jamaica for a long weekend.
Another 57 people – 7.5 per cent – responded ‘other’ to the question, with Tampa receiving 18 of those votes.
“Either Jamaica or Miami,” said one person. “Anywhere I can afford to go, said someone else.
“We recently went to Honduras,” said one
person. “I highly recommend going, plus the prices are fantastic as well
as the people.” Honduras got three other votes as well.
“Unfortunately Honduras was forgotten here, which would have placed just after Miami no doubt,” said one person.
“New York,” said another person. “The direct CAL flight makes this trip easy and there’s just so much to do in the Big Apple.”
Other sites
Several other places that weren’t really
regional destinations and don’t really offer long weekend flight
schedules, but have direct flight service were named.
Others getting votes included Atlanta (2), Philadelphia (2), Toronto (2), Nassau, Bahamas, Charlotte, and Houston.
