I have missed my flight out of carelessness. I got to MM2 as early as possible. I started reading a book I came with. There is this airline that starts with letter "A" they are known for moving their flight timing. I was there when the first, second and third timing was moved. Each time they announce anything, I will rush to the counter to ask what exactly the announcer was saying. On this particular day my sense of understanding English failed me. By the time they announced our boarding I did not hear. I was so into the book I was reading. It was not funny cos I was suppose to be at my destination the previous day, but because I believed I wud fly in very early the nxt day, I did not bother that much. |

I booked my mum's flight from heathrow to lagos. We slept on the coach taking us to the airport and we found ourselves at Gatwick! it wasn't funny o. Had to go back to heathrow and book the next available ticket. I had nightmares for the next month for falling asleep at such a crucial moment. |

My own experience was annoying cus it cost me a lot more than i had anticipated. We were on vacation in Tanzania and we decided to fly from Moshi to Dar es salam and then go by boat to Zanzibar, instead of going by road. Our mountain lodge had adviced that the trip to the airport was abt 1hr, so we generally took our time, it was my friends birthday so we were busy cutting cake and snapping pics by the time we hit the road it took about 30mins just to get to the main road from the mountain lodge sef. 1hr pass we still dey turbo, the flight was for 12:30 we got to the airport at 12:15, they insited that the counter was closed and that we would have to buy new tickets or pay this really high no show fee. After all the talking and begging it all came to no avail. we just vexed bought tickets with another airline for zanzibar direct, had to drive to arusha a near by town to catch up with that flight, no be small thing oh. Our lounging cost us $320. but it made sense in the end flying straight to zanzibar, sha. 1 Like 1 Share |

JIMOSKI: If flying is a big deal for you and co, do you think it is for others? Go to our local and international airports/wings and see the crowd daily, are those people spirits?. Dont you think that some people in those crowds are nairalanders? Just dont under-estimate people......... Do not quote me............................. 5 Likes |

Hmmmm. I must have flown within Nigeria countless time. But I have only missed my flight ones. But after that I vouched never again. Interestingly my missed flight occurred after many record breaking feat not to miss my flight. Infact there was a particular case in which somebody had done my boarding pass for me but I got to the airport late at mm2 when the plane door had been closed and the staircase already removed. I was looking at the plane ready to taxi out. But fortunately I was staring directly into the pilots eyes and everybody told me it is all over. The staff and other passenger, but as a sales man I dont take no for answer. I kept staring at the pilot while I was saying silent prayers while pleading with him with hands in prayer form. surprisingly he beckoned to the ground staff that they should return the tire support and operate the accending apparatus for me to board. I couldnt believe my luck. Even others were shocked. Sorry gast to go running late for a meeting. |
