If you're sleeping within that time you don't get woken or served, because we still have to collect the trash anyway and get the cabin ready for landing. It's a short flight and we need to expedite as much as we can. Pele, Try to stay awake next time tongue


They start by offering water and once i say "i mind", they assume i don't want anything throughout the 45mins or so flight. I am always even too tired to talk or start calling any hottess on that particular route.


Are you an Air Hosttess for Qatar Air?

You need to improve on what you serve your customers

in domestic routes as obtainable in other climes.

Is this your first time of flying Arik on a local flight?

By the way what were you expecting for the miserable N32k you paid for the flight?

A 3 course meal? undecided

I once travelled To Nigeria with Arik...Dad took Business class and I took Economy.

We both complained, that's how shìtty Arik is, I have never flown with them again. Instead I use British airways or the likes.



Did I insinuate I live in Nigeria?...Lord knows which holes these dunces crawl out from.
In terms of the food, abeg whats the difference between arik and BA?... or couod this just be the natural disgust Nigerians have for Nigerian stuff?

Bro, i havent board a plane outter the country before but no airline service will offer you more than what arik you are seeing, maybe a little bit of improvement not the Nigeria kind of expectations
It's even worse. I once flew Arik from Lagos to Accra, we were served just same shiit u got . I flew Air Rwanda from Lagos to same Accra and we got served full course meal and also topped it down with two bottles of red wine. Honestly, Air Rwanda has been my best so far from my international travels and I always wish they could expand their routes beyond Africa.. Arik air is just full of shaits for me.

yeah most people on dubai sectors are usually coming from connecting flights too stressed and too tired, that's why it's a rule not to wake the ones sleeping. But the next time you travel, by all means ask for whatever you want.

Yes I am

I didn't want to go into the technical details as to why it happens. I could get you a copy of Human Performance, its a subject offered by pilots which expains why the food taste different.

And the answer is yes, I have taken my own food multiple times on a flight and it taste different. (I can take my food on a flight)


Placebo-type effect, bro.

I accidentally had the heat set to fan lat night, BUT I woke up sweating this morning. Outside temperature was 30 deg. F (-1 Celsius).

How did this happen? I was convinced the heat was on, so my body responded accordingly.


There is no complex technical detail to why they believe it happens, simply that the factors I mentioned earlier numb your taste buds.
The supposed effect isn't on the food itself, but on you.

That said, taste is highly subjective, so I can't insist on how your taste buds respond. I can only tell you how mine do. smiley

So from your 32k, you expect the airline to

a) Pay for the Pilot's time

b) Pay for the host/hostess time

c) Pay airport fees

d) Pay for the fuel

e) Pay for the maintenance of the aircraft

f) Give you and everyone else full lunch? shocked

g) Remain profitable and stay in business

Nigerians self! Why not give us examples of these "other climes" where such is obtainable?

Free Arik abeg. Aero that served Burger peanuts and water/juice served in disposable cups nko? [b]Ever since I've been flying local, I've never been served any sumptuous meal, not that I bothered anyways. [/b]We're currently facing a recession, airlines are seriously cutting costs. What Arik served is really not that bad considering the situation of things.

Would have been better if you had removed the bold line.

oga its not worth more than 150. It is just 130naira
mu2sa2:
Just one-hour flight and you expect to be served what? If you were hungry for jollof rice why didnt you visit the restaurant at the airpot and eat to your fill before boarding. Btw what they served you is worth more than 150. You should thank Arik for not only pampering you with 4 different items but also even fly barely profitable routes like Lagos -Jos in these harsh economic times when airlines are struggling to stay afloat.

Most airlines are going the route of passengers paying for food and drinks on short haul flights, it only remains complimentary on long haul flights, so you should be thanking Arik sef cheesy

I paid $80 from Toronto to Ottawa and its was just a small muffin and water they gave me. I didn't take it because I felt they may charge extra for it and. I was feeling queasy from the way Air Canada fly almost vertically for the first fifteen minutes. Its the same all over the world , their breakeven margin is very tight

It's like that is the flying style in North America. The first time I flew within US, I had the same experience which was strange to me then. At a point, I was thinking we were in a rocket. Now I am used to it.

I guess it's the first time OP flew within Nigeria.
