You make it sound like I have a choice, going from St Lucia to France is a challenge. It got worse since COVID.
I think I had issues on close to 50% of my flights, the worst one was a 2 days delay on the way to France and a 2 days delays on the way back but it’s only because I ended up taking a private flight from Martinique to St Lucia.
On the bright side the company paid for the hotel each time, so there is worse situation than being stuck in a hotel in the Caribbean.
