Melina Roopnarain has sparked discussion after comparing Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s airport with Antigua\u2019s, saying she was disappointed by what she saw in Trinidad while praising Antigua\u2019s airport. Roopnarain shared her views in a Facebook video while travelling through Trinidad, describing the airport as \u201cone of the most disappointing\u201d she had seen during her Caribbean travels. She contrasted the experience with Antigua, saying she was impressed by the appearance of V.C. Bird International Airport and praising the investment she believes has been made in the facility. Roopnarain also praised Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, whom she referred to as the \u201cWorld Boss\u201d, saying the country deserved recognition for making its airport attractive. She stressed that her comments about Trinidad were intended as constructive criticism rather than an attempt to bash the country. \u201cTrinidad Airport ain\u2019t got nothing on Antigua Airport,\u201d she said while continuing to praise Antigua. The traveller also reflected on a previous experience in St Kitts, where she said she faced a seven-hour delay and had to spend her own money on food. She thanked a travelling companion for bringing snacks on the latest journey. Roopnarain\u2019s comments represent her personal assessment of the airports and travel experiences rather than an independent evaluation of their facilities or services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
