what passengers go through ,flying with Arik air

Image
Arik Air This got me thinking, what if these passengers do not have extra cash on them? I hope there is compensation for such. I really don't think its fair on passengers to continue to have such experiences. Arik air today cancelled its flight from Accra to Abuja apologizing to customers that its due to scarcity of aviation fuel. What do you think should be done? Please drop your comment

This is great news for travellers

Image
Entertainment Widget After months of debate over the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, and at an apparent impasse over privatizing air traffic control, Congress has settled on a compromise — with some unexpected benefits for the average air traveler. www.faa.gov The House and Senate have agreed on an extension that would fund the agency at current levels through September 2017. Among other things; - it would also require airlines to seat families with children together without charging them more -accelerate the security screening process -and issue prompt refunds for baggage fees when luggage is lost for more than 12 hours. The legislation surprised consumer advocates, who had expected a far less ambitious extension bill. “This is an amazing win for consumers,” said Charles Leocha, president of Travelers United, a Washington nonprofit organization that advocates for airline passengers. “It is not everything we wanted,...

The cause of flight delay and cancellations in Nigeria

Image
Airline operators in Nigeria are going through a tough time now as there is scarcity of aviation fuel. It was gathered that various flights experience delays and cancellations. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority through its spokes person Mr Sam Adeogboye advised airline operators to cut down operations on flights to reduce the frustrations passengers are currently experiencing. www.ncaa.org Marketers in the petroleum industry are having challenges because of the constraint in the purchase of foreign currency. Passengers are pleading with the airline operator to update them, when there are changes to enable them plan their journeys. We hope this issue gets resolved soon.  

As a customer I should be treated nicely

                          EFFECT OF SERVICE DELIVERY ON REVENUE. As a customer when I pay for a service or product, its expected that I am treated nicely, and of course it will lead to repeat of my patronage. In businesses today, so much is wrong with the way customers are treated, there is this expression from the sales person that the client spending his/her money is been rendered a favor. As business owners, most times we don't pay attention to this vital aspect of the business which has a great impact on revenue. Its amazing that in this present day, business owners do not see the need to train theirs staff, as the excuse mostly is high turn over of staff. Bringing it down to the hospitality and travel industry, if I visit your hotel, my expected experience is to be treated nicely for me to have a feel of being home away from home...

Brexit effect on travllers

Image
What will Brexit mean for travellers? Today your pound will go 70 per cent further in Russia and Zambia than it did in 2013, giving you around £210 extra for every £500 exchanged. Meanwhile, in South Africa and Brazil you’ll get 35 per cent more value for the pound. Some short-haul destinations also offer more bang for your buck: Norway currently offers 22 per cent better value than it did in 2013, and both Sweden and Hungary offer 11 per cent more for the pound. It’s heartening news for British travellers, says Ian Strafford-Taylor, CEO of FairFX: "Picking destinations which offer favourable long-term rates mean that you’ll get more for your money and therefore much better value this summer."
