SAUDI TSIKOTEERS: Flying via Saudia?.....Think Again

[chua_riwap]

May mga emails na umiikot about Saudia. Sa mga nag-bakasyon lately, totoo ba ito? Buti na lang Cathay or Emirates sinasakyan ko.

Langya, tinalo pa PAL sa sama ng serbisyo, ah. Below is the email:


=================================================



There are many complaints against Saudia Flights to and from the Philippines recently, few of the complaints are the following:

1. Aircraft use of all Saudia Flights going to Manila WERE NOT the usual Saudia Aircraft even the exterior looks SAUDIA. Once you get on board, it is too obvious that the aircraft is not of Saudia. The logo says “Atlanta Airlines” and the flight attendants looks like Sri Lankan or from South Asian origin.

2. Some Kabayan’s who comes back from vacation recently, also complaining that the aircraft has no TV monitors or any other entertainment facilities compared to what the usual airlines has.

3. Others complain that there’s water leaking from the roof cabin from Manila to Riyadh flight.

4. This is worst, one Kabayan was too nervous that “Fasten your Seatbelt” sign lighted several times after take off from NAIA even there’s no turbulence and the weather is clear…and at the end they had made an emergency landing somewhere in Thailand as the aircraft tail oozing with smoke and with some mechanical problems.

The above experiences of our Kabayan’s prompted them to encourage all Filipinos not to fly Saudia if going for vacation.

All the aircraft they use for RUH-MLA-RUH are old and sub contracted with other small-unknown airlines. While the new Saudia aircraft’s are use on their other routes especially going to Europe and other destinations. Not to mention the delayed flights originally at 3pm but changed to 12midnight.

This is just a simple discrimination unknowable where most Filipinos prefer direct flights to get home, its shows that Saudia service not the same as before.

Just ask some of your friends who came from vacation recently of their experiences while flying Saudia Airlines.

Buti nalang connecting flights ko emirates he he he

[WeaponX]

Wala namang complaints mga kasamahan ko.

Ang sabi ng iba, madalas delayed na nga raw yung mga Saudia Flights at hindi talaga Saudia yung plane. Napansin na ng mga kasama ko ito, yung mga nag-bakasyon ng May. Luma raw yung plane, hindi Pinay ang mga stewardess at walang individual LCD screens. Naniniwala nga ako kasi yung wife ng officemate ko umuwi, last week lang. Ihinatid pa namin sa KKIA. Alam nyo ba nangyari? Tumawag yung wife niya, from Manila, at ang kwento, ito: Pianapasok sila sa plane on time (8:30PM ata flight). Pero di agad umalis yung plane. Nagkaroon ata ng tech/mech, problems yung plane. Nag-stay sila ng 1.5 hrs sa plane, ng WALANG AIRCON! Napakainit daw sa loob! (WTF! Saudia!) Dami raw nagreklamo, pero di naman sila pinabalik sa KKIA waiting lounge. Basta du'n lang sila sa plane. Summer na ngayon at kahit gabi, talagang mainit pa rin sa labas. Lumipad daw sila mga 10PM na.

CX or EK na lang talaga.....

[chua_riwap]

Ang mahal pa ng tiket nyan......

[Horsepower]

Yup, totoo nga, pangit ang Saudia ngayon. Yung mom-in-law to be ko, yan ang sinakyan papuntang Philippines recently (June 20 ata sya dumating). panget nga daw.

Etihad daw ang medyo matino at this time.

[chua_riwap]

Kaya vacation ko this July, I'm going via CX.

[CVT]

Sa Pilipinas na rota lang kaya ganyan ang serbisyo ng Saudia?.....

Ang sabi ng marami dito sa Saudi, yung papuntang Pinas lang daw ang ganyan.

Ewan ko yung ibang ruta.

[chua_riwap]

May hinatid kami kanina pauwi ng Pinas via Saudia. Supposed to be 10PM ang alis nya. I got a call from him, minutes ago, that the flight is delayed and rescheduled to 3AM. WTF!

May taga-Saudia ba tayong Tsikoteers? Paki-explain lang kung bakit ang sama na ng sebisyo ng Saudia. Tinalo pa ang PAL. Dati isa ito sa the best ailine dito sa Saudi when it comes to punctuality. Ngayon, bulok na.

pauwi nanaman ako this end of nov and ang company namin mismo nag avoid na kumuha kami ng airline na saudia cause of the high fare specially if it is season.... buti na lang we are getting gulfair or qatar airlines mas maganda ang mga airplane nila mga bago pa

Qatar airways and Etihad are so far ang mga bago sa region (GCC), emirates started the first airline sa region to provide a tv monitor each passenger patungo at pabalik ng pinas. Sumunod na lang ang ibang airlines.

Ang huling lipad ko na ginamit ang Saudia is 1992 pa and it was the most boring flight i had, me palabas naman kaso centralized ang monitor tapos ang palabas pa eh mga not so latest na pinoy films ke maricel soriano pa ata ang pelikulang yon.
