Some airlines suck! (April 28, 2007)

OK, you probably have read my previous postings about what my experience with some local airlines.

I’m now sitting in the lounge of Polonia Airport, Medan. I take Air Asia to go back to Jakarta. It was supposed to depart at 14.35 but last night I had a phone call, telling me that my flight would be delayed and the new schedule was 20.30. The person offered me another early flight, 19.05. So I chose it, cause I didn’t want to get home late.

What happened just now, they told me that it was also delayed. I will depart from Medan at 21.55. Arrghhhh, can u imagine? It was 17.30, that means I had to wait another 4 hours, and I will get home at mid nite.

Not to mention they charged high cost for the extra weight, Rp 20,000/kg

I’m bringing my Selector system, the transit case and the system weighs 32 kg, plus my baggage 13 kg. The limit is only 15 kg. You can calculate how much I paid!

A week ago, I flied on Lion Air to Surabaya. The seat was small and no space for my legs. I practically couldn’t move my body. But when I came home, I flied on Batavia Air. I love it. The seat is bigger.

Also when I went to Medan on Wednesday, I also flew with Batavia Air. So far, schedule was on time………..Fantastic. Although you couldn’t ask too much about the food.

No complaints!

Arrived at home almost 2 AM. My rating for Air Asia improved 1 point. They gave out a complimentary dinner box. Not too bad.
