You need to get out & see how our competitors treat customers. Are you allowed to travel? Pleasantness & a willingness to serve is better in an average Walmart than what you find here.

Service is not a dirty word.

With a valid ESTA, from here with an uncertain schedule, I book one-way all the time; only problem I ever had was with Iceland Air coming from LHR via REK to BOS. Which incidentally last-minute with onward via Delta to BDA including 2 nights nice hotel and Jazz & dinner was $1k cheaper than BA, who wanted $2500 one-way direct!

It’s a wonderful touch. Paid for by Goslings. What’s not to like about an intro to Dark & Stormies (or Ginger Beer if that’s your preference) before getting in your Limo? You’ve paid thousands of $$$ for this experience most of which filters back into the economy. These are the Limo drivers (no planes had arrived yet) who have a fun job for 5 weeks. Don’t tell me it doesn’t benefit (implied black)Bermudians (the guy in the foreground is an ACEA organiser). The negativity of some people regarding this astonishing and lucrative event astounds me. And if we do it right, they’ll be back (unless Emirates NZ win, the other 5 teams love it here). ACLIM08 Driver J.

And what about on their way out? VIP area to wait for your plane? Hope they have to buy the same crappy sandwiches I do. And, hopefully it wont rain while they are in the airport drip drip drip

Wow so much hate.

First good for Skyport for thinking outside the box with visitors, VIP or not.

Second I would like a free drink on my return from shopping, the hospital abroad, paying respected to deceased family and friends, for all the reason I leave and return. It would be nice to have a going and coming free cocktail. If Skyport did that the next 30 years would be a pleasure doing business with you.

The art of hospitality is to make visitors feel welcome. Bermuda is in the hospitality business and striving to reclaim its reputation as being in the upper end of the market catering to the visitor who will appreciate and afford what we have to offer. If a temporary VIP lounge is what is required to make our visitors welcome more enjoyable then that is what we have to do in a polite, welcoming, friendly manner. You do what it takes to make visitors feel welcome.
Attitudes displayed as below will not assist Bermuda is its quest to return tourism industry to one of Bermuda’s twin pillars of the economy. Tourism benefits everyone in Bermuda, bottom to top. Smile, be friendly, be welcoming and aside the poor attitude for the next six weeks.

Why is the dock a quarter mile away from the terminal? Billionaires don’t like walking, and taxis don’t like short rides, wouldn’t it have been better across from the new lounge area and the lovely Castle Harbour Land Reclamation Project on the left?

we as Bermudians ,the only way we can take back our home is to find a way back in the workplace for the same pay as the import’s. then there would be no need for them,if we could go back to when you help me i can help you, take it from me you don’t know what you can do without until you have to, we are giving up on our self.

JAWS, when you enter the US, UK, Canada and many more and if you are not a passport holder of that country the officer will ask you, where you are going, where you are staying, why you are travelling, who you are with, and how long you will be there, and they check that info against your reservation info and what you filled out on your immigration form. They don’t have to ask for the return ticket info because the airlines, especially those flying the flag of that country, already provide them with that information. they ask the questions to check for inconsistencies.

VIP – sorry but like every other destination in the world we have great customs officers and some with a chip on their shoulders. I travel quite frequently and I experience the same issue with customs around the world. Some just don’t deal well with power.

If I am really a travelling VIP, I will not be waiting at the airport for transportation.

It will be prearranged and waiting for me.

“The lounge will allow dignitaries to relax after their flight while they wait for their transportation”

A quickly put together lounge.

You cannot be serious….Is this the brainchild of the BTA again?

Dignitaries waiting for their transportation????

It had better be there waiting for them! If they are any good that is.

Nothing against Gosling’s Black Seal, but is this all we have to offer as an island?

You get off your flight and are offered Black Seal and ginger beer.

Go into Hamilton and go to the Gosling’s container bar by the ferry terminal.

Go up to Ireland Island and go to the VIP lounge at $1500 a ticket and get Black Seal and ginger beer.

BTA, try to come up with some creative ideas….please????

We are all on display, and part of this.

Really
its no wonder we have the lack of appreciation for the Americas cup and what it has brought and what it will bring to our shores…We should be rolling out the red carpet to our visitors every day but definitely when we have an international event that is attracting them. We want them to be raving fans of Bermuda and come back. There are way too many short sighted Bermudians who want to know whats in it for me and when do i get mine ..we have created a few generations of I want i want Bermudians ,,,,, Get a Life its not about you ITS ABOUT BERMUDA
