Dutch Caribbean Airlines Passenger opinions (1547 words)
I have flown DCA several times in the past and there is always a problem.
As the airline explained to us that the reason we were bumped from the flight was because the larger plane they were going to use was grounded due to mechanical problems and they were forced to fly a smaller plane.
The Airline wasn't paying taxes and the government took away all their large planes from them.
