What do they call the guys at the Port Au Prince airport who help you with your luggage? Bouretye?

Oh no... I would not call them that.  They might find it offensive.
If you don't want to say Mesye, please say pòtè

    Sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive. Just asking about what their profession is called, as in here they'd generally be called "skycaps".

    So if I wanted to say "I will only pay one [skycap] to help with the luggage"

      Mwen konprann :)

      I will only pay one [skycap] to help with the luggage.
      M'ap sèlman peye yon sèl pòtè pou ede nou ak malèt yo.
