Most airlines suffer some form of delay from time to time. Its how often they are delayed and how they treat the passengers that are the real issues.
Numerous reasons are given for the delay of planes in departing and arriving. Some of these are mechanical issues, check in delays, missing passengers, baggage hold ups, airport congestion and bad weather. There are of course other reasons, but the airlines may not always tell you why.

Delays both ways on the Phoenix/Mesa Peoria flight. Board in Mesa always indicated the flight was on time, but at an hour over the scheduled departure, they started making announcements. Peoria flight was delayed an hour with no indication on the board and no announcements. No compensation. No apologies. Not sure but it appears that part of the delay was caused by an excessive number of 'disabled' passengers. I have never seen so many people in wheelchairs in my entire life of flying. Frankly, many of the 28 wheelchair passengers on the return flight didn't appear to be disabled. The airline policy of providing priority seating without requiring any verification of disability is causing this.
ReplyDeleteI am most annoyed with the attitude of Allegiant Airlines - We have used them over 8 times now and do not think I will bother to return to them. The last 3 flights were from Peoria Il To Phoenix Mesa. including a flight today. The delays have been over 2 hours where the reason given was that the airline had not got their paperfwork in order to be on the runway. Todays delay was for 5 hours and no compensation. The agents simply "dissappeared" from the counters to avoind answering questioffered food service after 3.5 hours and this appeared 5 hours later. Tried calling their custgomer service where the auto attendant proudly annouced that the wait time to speak to anyone wold be 13 mins and 14 seconds. , etc e,tc . ASwful customer service... sorry allegiant you are just meeting the standards
ReplyDeleteFlights out of St Petersburg/Cleawater Fla This past Sunday were almost nightmarish for a lot of folks. My flight to Greensboro NC along with 4 or 5 other flights that day were grounded initially for "mechanical" problems. We boarded on time and sat through one problem fixed right away. We were heading to the runway when another problem announced that could not be repaired and told they were gonna try to get another plane. Of course the storm "Debbie" was progressively getting worse as the day wore on. We continually received new departure times until about 7:30pm when the airport was closed. It was the next evening at 6 before we arrived in Greensboro. I am grateful to have arrived home safe especially in the face of the storm. But the day was full of blunders for a whole lot of people flying to many places. I would think that a responsible airline would perhaps have a better plan B rather than what appeared to be no plan at all.
ReplyDeleteItaly and London are the only places where I don't feel to exist on sufferance.

There were certain qualities you possessed carelessly. And you couldn't retrieve them when they were gone. The very act of caring made them impossible to regain.
