What a bad experience. This is not good for their reputation though, I had a good flight experience when I boarded from Owerri to Abuja.

Stop demarketing Anambra,which is the motive of this thread.Anambra is very safe.

No one is saying Anambra is not safe but as stated.
It’s Sunday and there would be mad rush.

I am asaba based and even me too would prefer to be dropped in Benin than Anambra on a Sunday.

With this experience, it's pointless trusting them with my travel plans in the future.

Let's see how long it will take to get a full refund.

Which refund. My January canceled flight refund has not been paid.

Who fly that Airline?

Gazzuzz, inasmuch as The Airline (United whatever) has to be called out for their incompetence, non-communication and lack of customer respect, I'll like to correct a little mixups with your experience.

Firstly the distance from Anambra Airport to Asaba is less than 1hour, you can verify this from daily commuters using commercial buses and passing old bridge.

Secondly the Airline uses it's own coaster buses to convey passengers from Anambra Airport to Asaba, if they don't have enough passengers for direct Asaba, I have been a victim before( Where they failed woefully is not informing you guys on time)



Least I forget, the airline coaster buses don't ply the old bridge, they use the new bridge and have armed escorts that sandwich the coaster bus(es). Pointing back to the distance of the journey, it is actually less than 1 hour from the Anambra airport to Asaba.

For the refund, hope you initiated the process at the counter and your ticket is a full refundable one.

General 2 cents: Not saying this is what happened bro, but try booking your flights yourself so all communication can get to you first hand.



Thanks for the clarification.

What is painful is I received no notifications for flight cancelation, I would have remained at home and not wasted money heading to the airport .

There was also no option of a rescheduled flight for same day.


Today is Sunday, and there will be a mad rush to leave Anambra to beat the sit at home routine,

The location of the Anambra airport is on the outskirts of town and not secure .

Not ready to waste about 3-4hrs from Anambra airport to Asaba town.

.

IMO Airport is a good alternative

After researching the owner of this airline, things easily fell into place... Na so most transporters from that side dey do angry

The spirit of "Trans-load" that has infected all Luxurious Bus Transporters from that part of the country has also infected this airline owner..

"Transload" occurs when a transport company transfers passengers from their vehicle to another to finish a journey whose t-fare they had already collected in full.. . From the get-go, they know that they are not going to reach the desired destination, but due to their greed for the complete transport fare, they will collect it in full and then make only a part of the journey, and transfer the passengers to the cheapest junk they can find to complete the journey..

Travelling from point A to point B uninterrupted is alien to transporters from that side of the country.. To collect money dey sweet dem die, but to finish the task agreed na problem..

I won't be shocked that if op makes too much noise in their office about getting a refund, like 4 Agbero dey on ground to comot im teeth grin.. Na their standard modus operandi be that.. Refuse to complete a contract, and then have you beaten up when you complain

E better than to they Bleep camel for desert like your people do.

Your claim that it takes 3-4hrs to travel from umueri airport to Asaba invalidates your story.

That’s a 45 mins or less journey. But make u continue to lie, I wasn’t in your dream with you so if I say u saw Abacha for dream I would not say u didn’t.

I will suggest you stop patronising the transporters "from that side of the country". Most of you Nigerians are annoyingly tribalistic and seem to be proud to show it publicly. Yet you guys are quick to complain of racism. If it is easy to set up and run a business, I wonder why you and 'your people' are not busy doing that and showing others how business should be run.

Anambra airport to Asaba is just 1 hour 30 minutes due to stop , drop and pick. maximum on commercial vehicle but if you have a personal car then it's just 45 minutes. Since I lost my job when gsk left Nigeria, I haven't been able to travel by air since. I am just managing, it's not easy. If Asaba had good job offers then I would love to live in Asaba. I prefer Asaba to Lagos just that no job in Asaba. I missed shopping in Gabs Asaba which is cheaper than all Lagos supermarkets, shoprites, addide etc

At least you have not denied the stated facts


What stopped the airline from simply informing the passengers before collecting their money that Asaba passengers will be dropped at Onitsha and conveyed by road to Asaba?... Won't it be proper to allow the passengers make that choice to fly the airline or not after being supplied with that info?

Unfortunately, honesty and Transparency is truly alien to you people..

I've only used United Nigeria twice or so, it has always been Ibom Air or Air Peace.
But for your claim about Anambra to Asaba being 3-4hrs, that's not true please.
Anambra to Asaba should be 1hr or less and not even 2hrs talk more of 3hrs.

Really don't fancy UNITED NIGERIA because of their tiny planes that go to south south.
