Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic September 11, 2012 Share September 11, 2012 Fancy visiting a country and when about to return, the airline tells you your next flight home is in 2 week times....... Posted on 11 Sep 2012 Next flight in 2 weeks' time, Batavia Air tells 25 stranded travellers STOMPer Sarmadi was appalled when he and other passengers were told that the next Batavia Air flight from Bandung to Singapore was in two weeks' time. Said the STOMPer: "Just imagine after a five-day stay in an another country and you are just three hours away from going back home to Singapore and are about to check-in at the airport when they tell you, 'Sorry, there's no flight going back to Singapore as the aeroplane is under maintenance'. "The next question you ask is when is the next flight and when can you get back home. The answer given is two weeks from now. "That was what happened on the Sep 6 2012 at Bandung Airport departing to Singapore under Batavia Air. "And the staff said the next flight will be on Sep 20 -- either you wait or you can take your money (refund) back. "The next thing my family and I did was to quickly rush to AirAsia Booth to ask for seats back to Singapore. "Eventually they have and we asked the Batavia staff to top up whatever cost that was going to be added. "But the staff said 'No they don't practise this'. "After a long argument which involved around 25 people, they finally gave a suggestion for us to take their -three-hour bus journey and travel to Singapore from Jakarta by Lions Air. "Upon arrival at Jakarta, the Batavia staff who followed us said that there are no seats available. "In the end they booked for us AirAsia instead to go back to Singapore from Jakarta." ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to my sis. They were on business trip to West coast USA. Then, Japan earthquake and their return flight was via Japan. But their boss here was so concerned for them and bought them a new ticket via HK. My sis was very disapointed with the efficiency of her boss and colleagues.

Other day read news that one SQ A380 flight delay for 1.5 hours due to flight "problem". Only 1.5hrs, ok lar, some offer free coupons for food whilst waiting. This one, you wait 2 weeks ... I ever delayed 2 hrs in Perth on Quantas flight, they offer A$7/- meal vouchers per person at the coffee house inside airport. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
