dc.description.tableofcontents5. A story in the Times says that hoteliers in the region are concerned about the lack of competition on air routes from Britain to the Caribbean.

Another concern of the hoteliers is the overbooking of seats on flights. British Airways says its fares are the subject of bilateral agreements between the British and the various governments and that the overbooking of seats was a temporary glitch which is being rectified.
