I’m non-political-so not going to make politically motivated comments! But increasing the cost of already high airfares to Bda is just stupid,OBA!! You can force it onto locals, but not on tourists who already vacation elsewhere because of Bdas high costs-+these fees only exaserbate it!! Stupid-just stupid!!

An increase in dutyfree allowance on the return for some sort of compensation would be nice. $200 is peanuts.

There was a time, within memory of some, when the dutyfree allowance was the equivilant of $1000 in todays money puchasing power.

Now do tell me what is a few dollars more when we are borrowing $220Million per year which has come down from $330Million in two years,to support the UN-CIVIL SERVICE.
I see that the PLP complainers are still drawing down there CHEQUE.
Are we still paying $176Million dollars per year on interest on the DEBT that the previous Administration left the OBA and Bermuda.

Everyone in Bermuda is not compensated like a lawyer.

Minister… as in Cabinet Minister, an appointed position. You appear to be confusing it with the term MP or Member of Parliment, an elected position. minister Fahy in Minister for the Home Affairs portfolio

Bermuda will compare favourably to Bahamas [$76]; Dominican Republic [$82.60]; Turks & Caicos [$70] and Jamaica [$93].

He forgot to mention it’s cheaper to travel to those place from the USA!! Oh well less tourist now since the airfare will be more. Even a few dollars makes a big difference.
