OP it is very sad that this happened to you in Nigeria of all places. The truth is who wants to fight at the airport with people who refuse to see common sense.

something similar happened to me once with virgin, i was offered a free tickect to anywhere in world or cash of over £500 but this also happened in london.

We have poor customer service in this country, i dont wish Arik Air ill but thier end is inevitable when there are so many more airlines about.

i definitely wont be using them.

@dynamo1 Something similar happened to me with British Airways from Abuja to London. Due to technical reasons, Our flight was cancelled and we were lodged in Hilton Hotel with free dinner and breakfast for passengers. We were even compensated with 50 Pound voucher.
I cannot foresee Arik Air doing that in Nigeria even for a return trip from Lagos to London. Nigerian Airlines are pathetic doe.

@AfricanFem, I have heard many stories of how different airlines around the world respond to flights delay and cancellation. Are they bound to a different regulation exempting Nigeria? I thought maybe Nigerian airlines operate on different regulation that do not bound them to compensate passengers, until I witnessed Arik Air of all airlines treat us as all international airlines would in London, d same airline wey bone us for Lagos. Right then and then did I realized it's a Nigerian environment thing. Why can't they treat us same way in Nigeria. Unfortunately they are the only Nigeria airline on major international routes, I wish there were others so the competition could force compliance to regulation. In fact part of d offer from London is to link any passenger going to any part of Nigeria on Arik's route Free of Charge with ur luggage. By the time we arrived MMIA, there's an Arik local plane already waiting to pick up passengers on connecting flight. I was like "waoh", could ds be Arik. We can only hope for better days ahead!

@Finestboy1, u mean BA did this 2u in Naija. Definitely we both know Arik Air or any Nigerian airline won't do that. In fact the Nigerian Arik people are already starting to deviate on the contents of the first letter. Naija, I hail oh!
