| HEADLINE | 1Time refuses to help 10 customers @ gate |
||
|
On 31 December 2011, myself and my girlfriend (A foreign national) arrived at the George airport to board a flight to Johannesburg. Due to heavy traffic we missed the gate closing time by exactly 4min. long with us were about 8 other customers with the same problem. Ground staff refused to help us and get us on the airplane and stood arguing with customers - they claimed that once the gate is closed nothing can be done. The manager became quite rude when asked to help. This resulted in several passengers (including myself) having to buy new last minute tickets to Johannesburg and an inflated cost. I sent a complaint to 1Time asking for an explanation and some sort of compensation. I was flatly refused and told that they cannot help me. I think the service was bad and that the company could have helped 10 stranded passengers - especially seeing that we missed the closing time by 4 min. |
