The both occasions I've been to the Caribbean there's been loads of welsh on the cruise. So the option of cardiff as a flight would obviously have benefits. Come on cardiff airport get these flights going

any new flights including the flybe ones. Whether people like it or not cheaper fares more than distinations is the quickest way to attract more travellers as many would travel to the South East airports rather than Cardiff if it means that they would save a few hundred quid per person which as you know Al has been a regular issue there.

Yes off to mexico in Jan as cheaper than other airports in UK! Maybe wag is learning about costs and lower they are more attractive to ailrlines, although airport is run by an independent management company, so perhaps we are seeing the benefits of this?
