Missed Arik from LHR to LOS due to one stupid taxi driver wey go carry me pass the worst possible route. The annoying thing is I 'advised' him we should go through the city but he insisted on taking his prefered route. As the guy na senior Naija bros, I no too argue. When himself see say the traffic wey we enter no get part 2, he parked his car at the side of the road and escorted me on public transport. We took the train, Tube, Heathrow Express and then Heathrow Connect but by the time I got there, check in was closed I begged the check in staff and she gave me a boarding pass but wouldnt check in my luggage. This wasnt of any use as my mate was getting married in 2 days and all his and the groomsmen gear was with me so I needed my luggage to go with me. Arik werent flying for the next 2 days so I had to buy a new one-way ticket with a different airline for the next morning for £550 and also paid £100 for a Premier Inn. The most annoying thing is I bought the ticket like 6 months earlier to get a cheap price but I ended up spending business class money on 2 tickets. I swore never to use Arik again but I just bought Arik again yesterday for a flight 6 months away. If you see the price difference between Arik and BA/Virgin, you self go fear fear. |

When I was going to Malaysia oo in 2010 I went about 30 minutes to departure but I guess thats what happens when you're flying for the first time internationally. It wasn't funny sha.....I nearly cried Anyway's I got rescheduled for the next day..... But Wait thats not even the problem Those evil immigration officers at the airport... May God forgive you guys. Virgin passport travellers,we don suffer no be small o they wanted to strip me of every cash I had... But thank God nah only 2k dem see collect for my hand. It was really a frightening experience sha. 1 Like |

Never missed a flight. I'm always at the airport 2 hrs before check in. A hustler has no business with too much grammar over his money mehn. I made a vow last year never to fly again except I am going the international route. Boarded an arik to ph and our flight was delayed for 30 minutes. We were later checked in but was trapped inside the plane for another 1 hour. According to the pilot, there is a terrible turbulence up in the sky but after a long wait, we were cleared to take off after chachangi flew...Omo...see airplanes line up behind us like a taxi park. Hardly had our plane lift ...the gbege started. People have you experience your flight gaining altitude and yet hit by serious turbulence? I mean in nose upwards position? It was a terrible nightmare. For 25 minutes into the flight, pilot was fighting with the plane, passengers were praying in diverse tongue and I said to my self....why purchase my death with my own money. I laugh off that experience nowadays. 4 Likes |

To be sincere..d last time I missed a flight was really d fault of d conductor of d plane..conductor give me my change he refused, give me my change he refused, so I chose to come down and dey said it was possible. D back seat I was stayin, d window was open and I had to escape frm there, that's how I missed d flight. 2 Likes |

It is almost normal for me to miss my flight but the most painful was one which wasn't my fault. I was going to Canada via New York however, Arik Air delayed us for over 5 hours at MMIA. The worst was that Arik never bothered and Delta said they could do nothing since it was an International Flight. |

Missed a flight earlier this year, partly my fault partly the airline or the website So used to booking everything online, even the cab company called to offer my 5am pick up as there might be traffic mbaa, I no gree I chose 6.45 instead, hoping to complete check in on the way to the airport and spend 15mins max. Na so wahala start o, phone was playing up, couldn't complete check in. got to the airport few minutes past 8..instead of going straight to the counter to do the usual queuing up, I was fiddling with my phone, still no luck, started looking for their self check in machines, the problem was their website!! eventual queued up and was told they can only check me in without my luggage or book next day! Went to the customer service complained I have been trying to check in since midnight, even arrived at the airport at 8am! she explained they were having problems with their website blah blah promised to check me in only to find out i have huge bags duuh im going to naija! Only solution was to get the flight next day or spend a day in Amsterdam and get the flight next day....didn't want to make the long journey back home since i was already in holiday mood...told her to put it on hold until i can book a reasonable hotel near Schipol airport. Na so I enter next flight o Guess what!! When i got to Amsterdam the connecting flight was still there, checking in was in 10minutes!! started running to the gate hoping to convince the staff since I had my booked seat and other details on my phone, then theres the problem of my luggage it's just coming out of the other plane and check in will be over before i can get them them transferred. they were very helpful actually offered to send my luggage to Lagos if I check in without them!! it dawned on me I wont get the same customer service in las gidi, visit one office here, one office there, Oga is not on seat etc etc .... stuck to the plan got the shuttle to the hotel rest my head,went to town briefly, smooth flight next day! Had horribly experience with Lufthansa 2 years ago, bad customer service, just left slept at the Airport as I only took naija passport 2 Likes |

KIX-DOH-LOS in 2012 i think. The flight from KIX left 5hours behind schedule. This meant that i wouldnt catch the connecting flight leaving for Lagos. As soon as i got to Doha, I just went straight to the transfer desk and asked to be put on another flight because of their negligence. They promptly responded to my request and placed me and others on an emirates flight to dubai and on to lagos. funny enough, that was my first time of trying out qatar airways. |
