The bellview people really need to go back to the drawing board. I have never heard anything positive about them, at least with other flight, some reviews are good , some are bad. With bellview it is all bad bad bad |

Bellview was the preferred airline, until they started having their issues. I guess they need to rediscover themselves and excel! @ poster. Please start writing. Write a book or books. Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie is in trouble. She has found a worthy competitor. Who says Naija is not a great country with talented people like you. Enjoy |

Damn, I wish I read this before Tuesday when I booked a flight for Friday next week because i have a lot of luggage and wanted to take advantage of the 64Kg limit. Serves me right. I got wind of their troubles yesterday when I was referred to an article on Next online about stranded passengers in Lagos. I decided to "google" bellview troubles which led me to this post. I have been calling their office number at Heathrow but there has been no pick-up. I guess they are running away from passengers. Trouble is, i'll have no where to stay and no money in my pocket having spent almost everything buying all the buys - which is the very cause of this trouble - my luggage! Oh well, I only have to brace myself for the worse at least I know what (not) to expect. |

Re: Don't Fly Bellview! by Nobody: 12:23pm On Sep 04, 2009 |
I think the British Authorities should even ban them from flying to UK ![]() If Nigerian authorities can't do their work, let the UK help them. Like someone said, it's no longer a laughing matter, People's careers, family and education are at risk!! My question?? why do they keep selling tickets when they have a backlog of passengers to settle. I hope all this noise does not lead to a crash one day o!! uhnnn!!It is so obvious they are managing!! a word is enough for the wise. |
Re: Don't Fly Bellview! by Nobody: 12:54pm On Sep 04, 2009 |
candylips: she paid for a flight to and from London Heathrow (at least hitch free) on bellview airlines. I am sure that is what they advertise What did she get ?? Late flights Cancelled flights Luggage not delivered as planned A totally bad service to and fro. Horrible food Smelly toilets When would Nigerians start to fight for their rights?? ![]() ![]() Let's not forget https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-2482.64.html God help us |

Wow, this is something very refreshing and funny. ![]() ![]() ![]() You have great potentials stacked in that mind of yours(Film writing(not Nollywood), advert writing, film directing) Though I sympatise with you for your ordeals but you succeded to make fun out of it. You succeded in exposing the nonsense at Bellview without sounding bitter nor vindictive. |

Re: Don't Fly Bellview! by soloqy: 1:41pm On Sep 04, 2009 |
Now all these other stories about Bellview has made this a very scary issue. Its about Lives here. We dont want the authorities to make us regret and mourn for things that could otherwise have been stopped. Are there no limits to the luggage a plane can carry? What if they decide to appear competent with ppl's luggages and start to overload those planes? We ought to be thinking right now on how to prevent any "unforseen/foreseen" circumstances right now. The authorities must wake up to their responsibilities. The complaints, protests and embarrasments, are enough reasons to clamp down on Bellview till they get their acts together. Lets not easily forget the past. ps Anyone know how or where to forward letters of complaint? I think everyone affected recently by Bellview should do so. You might be saving a life. |

I have some advice here for the people who were stranded in London (for the lagos folks sorry) Bellview is a non-EU airline and have no problems cancelling their flights from Nigeria cos they don't need to give their passengers compensation, the story is different from an EU airport. Below is a link to a website that will help you and u can use as a basis to claim compensation and if it was me i would put in a personal injury claim as well, hurt feelings and post trumatic stress, trust me 64kg worth of luggage not turning up at my destination woul give me more than high BP. http://www.auc.org.uk/default.aspx?catid=306&pagetype=90&pageid=4407 http://www.auc.org.uk/default.aspx?catid=306&pagetype=90&pageid=4409 If your flight is cancelled you are entitled (under Regulation (EC) 261/2004) to the following; 1. Refund or re-routing 1. If you decide not to travel you are entitled to a refund, within seven days, of the parts of the tickets not used. If it is a connecting flight and you have already made part of the journey and do not want to continue with it, reimbursement of the total price of the ticket (including parts of the journey not made if the flight is no longer serving any purpose in relation to your original travel plan) within seven days and a free flight back to point of departure. You are not entitled (under Regulation (EC) 261/2004) to reimbursement of any other components of your trip such as hotel and transfer costs or Re-routing to your final destination as soon as possible or, if you agree, at a later date. (If the airline flies you to another airport in your destination city then they must pay for the transfer to the airport you were booked for or to another close-by point of your choice) 2. Compensation (The airline is not obliged to pay compensation if it can prove that the cancellation was caused by "extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken". Such extraordinary circumstances might occur "in cases of political instability, meteorological conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight concerned, security risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings and strikes that affect the operation of an operating air carrier".) Length of flight Delay to destination Compensation due Up to 1500km Up to 2 hours €125 Up to 1500km More than 2 hours €250 1500km to 3500km Up to 3 Hours €200 1500km to 3500km More than 3 hours €400 More than 3500km Up to 4 hours €300 More than 3500km More than 4 hours €600 3. Assistance at the airport Meals and refreshments in reasonable relation to waiting time Two free telephone calls, emails, telexes or faxes Overnight hotel accommodation and transfers browse around the page people - educate yourself. Is it not the same arik that called me after i had booked my ticket and told me that the fare i had obtained (thru and agent) was too low and that i should pay £40 more for them to issue the ticket. I just laughed and told them my sister is a lawyer (big lie o!!!!!!!!!!!!) and i am very sure there are some leagl issues once a person enters into an agreement. After all i can't walk into DFS buy a sofa for £499 and the store manager calls me later that day saying that i have to pay an extra £50 as the sofa shouldn't have been sold at such a low price - nonsense and ingredients. |

Re: Don't Fly Bellview! by AjaraEwuro: 12:03pm On Sep 06, 2009 |
@Poster Meaningless bull crap and shit full of nonsense. Get something better to write about. or look for more money to get on boad BA or Virgin. Because it is a Naija airline - fu ck you all goatie bearded goons - you are poor, cant afford known airlines, and the ones you can afford, you come here to diss them - if you want perfect airlines, why dont you save up more money? somebody is flying to London- from Nigeria - because he is poor - buys ticket with Emirates and first go to Dubai first- is that not poverty? Same thing- if you book with Bell view- you are a poor goon, so if you get poor services, shut up and cry to yourself. |
