Alright, I do not claim to be a frequent air traveler and
neither have I travelled out of the shores of the country. But on behalf of the frequent air travelers
of our nation, I voice out.
Is it fair? Every time I get to the airport on time to catch
a flight, the airline *intentionally*
delay the flight for at least 45 MINUTES!
Sometimes, it could be worse; I have been delayed for as long as 1HOUR 30 MINUTES–3HOURS for a 45MINUTES (approximately) flight to
Lagos or Abuja. Really, if it would take an airline approximately 5HOURS to commute to Abuja/Lagos, I
wouldn’t mind settling for a EKENEDILICHUKWU
which commutes for like 8HOURS
and are always Just-In-Time.
There are also times, when I get to the airport late- due to
no fault of mine, but because of traffic- that I miss the flight. WHAT? And I
am just about 5-10 MINUTES late! The
airlines are always so pleased to inform that you have missed your flight and
are more than eager to refer you to their booking/ticketing section where you
pay almost the same amount to reschedule your flight. Seriously, if the
airlines don’t respect their scheduled flight time, why should I?
No doubt, the most frequent air travelers are business men,
who have time-critical appointment to keep, time-sensitive clients to meet and
hectic schedules that demands being on time. Our airlines don’t seem to
understand that, it is much more than comfort that make travelers board an
airplane to their destination. Some just want to be in time. Of course, time is
money. Seems most of our airline staff need to attend a class in time
management to appreciate being on time just like this business man
do.
