Cayman Airways Will Fly from Denver and the Western US

[KathyV]

You get 2 free bags on Cayman Air which is nice. Recently they've also started offering Cayman Immigration services at Miami Airport to speed up the arrival process on Grand Cayman.

The 200's have been phased out for quite a few years now, it's now 300's and a single 800. The first 8Max are supposed to be delivered this year.

We flew on their 200 last August.

This article from November 2017 says that they are retiring their 300s as part of a fleet modernization plan, it doesn't mention 200s.

Welcome to Cayman Airways

That would have been a 300 then? I can't recall the phase-out of the 200's as that was way before I came to the island, but I believe the last one was retired in 2009 or abouts. Also online pics show last pics from about that time.

Just a small diversion into full aviation geek mode...

737-200 - 'cigar' shaped low bypass Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines under the wing, 'bucket' style reversers.

737-300 - bigger CFM International CFM56 high bypass engines mounted in front of wing. (also available with different fuselage lengths as -400 or -500 model.)

I always liked flying Cayman airways. Good fares, 2 free checked bags as KathyV notes plus a hot meal and free rum punch. Always enjoyed starting and ending the trip with the rum punch even if the virgin kind.

And just to be complete...

737-800 aka 'Next Generation' or NG. New wing compared to 100 to 500 series, amongst many other modernizations. Also available with different fuselage lengths as -600, -700 and -900.

Well then, they were in violations of the FAR"s as the briefing card was from a 200...we flew the NG out to MIA.

I have a few hundred hours in the 300..
