I was planning a trip to Providenciales and wanted to see the other island of Grand Turk. Grand Turk is mostly a cruise-ship driven city so when there are no cruise shops, and it is COVID, then there is nothing really to do there but I still wanted to check out. Given the lack of economy in Grand Turk, the only option to get to the island was flying on InterCaribbean. InterCaribbean is an airline based at Providenciales in Turks & Caicos and provides services to various Caribbean destinations. I booked the flight online and booked the morning flight out to Grand Turk and the afternoon return. I was very excited to try the product as I heard read a lot about the airline and the new management which was trying to build the airline into a better service provider to connect the Caribbean together.
My outbound and return flight operated very similarly. Both were operated by an Embraer 120 with a2-2 seat configuration with about room for 30-40 passengers. I think the plane was making the round back and forth because it was the same pilot and crew for both outbound and return. The plane was definitely older as the quality of the seat and the plane had seen better days. Flight time on both outbound and return is 30-minutes so given the short flight-time there was no inflight service but the views from the plane were plenty of entertainment. Overall, the flight and plane were very basic. It was a nice and short domestic flight - my only comment would the lack of friendliness by the flight attendant. It was a short flight and the plane was very small so there was the opportunity for a more personalized and friendly interaction but the demeanor of the flight attendant was very strict and stoic. There was definitely no island friendliness but that did not take away from the fantastic views from the plane.
