Arik is the worst airline i have ever flown, they hired thugs and hooligans as staff, people with no sense of ideal and courtesy. Such simple negotiation held up a flight for 4hours. I am so so so so dissappointed at them. Shame on you Arik.

funkybaby:

Arik is at again 

I am not surprised.

On 25th september, (flight from heathrow to lagos), after all passengers had been seated, the doors locked and shortly before takeoff, the pilot announced that there were insufficient meals to go round everybody on board. So he needed 40 people to agree to the idea that they wont be served any meals throughout the flight.

so the pilot went around from seat to seat, writing down the seat numbers of the 40 volunteers. He said until this was accomplished, he wont fly the plane.   

So we were delayed at heathrow for over an hour after the flight was scheduled to have taken off while all these was going on.

In exchange for 'volunteering' to skip their evening meals (each person paid averagely over 500pounds for a return ticket), he promised them a 'surprise' from the dutyfree store.

And what was the surprise 
a bag of maltesers chocolate which is about $3 (one pound if bought from poundland) 


what about orange juice and the rest of the liquid junk they had:
the flight attendants were virtually rationing it as there were not enough to go round. .

My return journey nko?

Another drama. Thats another gist for another day.

One thing is for sure: I WILL NEVER FLY WITH THEM AGAIN !

This same silly Arik that my luggage was incomplete  and  rough handled and the zip of my box spoilt ( Abi was tampered with )
when i complained to them, one naughty person asked me sarcastically how much was it worth so that they can pay me off and stop me from disturbing  their job.

I dont believe all this unsubstantiated stories about my beloved airline ARIK, they must be coming from competitors who can not match the service excellence of ARIK and the newness of her aircraft fleet. I have been flying ARIK now for the past two years and I can thump my chest and say it anywhere ARIK air still remains my number one choice in the air. I have flown in their Boeing 747-800, Borbardier series and it was comfort all the way. How can any one say ARIK doesnt have enough refreshment for her passengers and we are listening to such a story or a trained steward in ARIK fleet addressing a customer as painted in the post. Please Nlanders should be discerning to know when someone is peddling lies. For the matter in the post I want to believe those people that held the plane hostage most be terrorist because their action is against international civil aviation regulations.

Everyone in Nigeria knows that before you board an aircraft you must identify your luggage at the tarmac before boarding failure to do so will result in your luggage been off loaded. I believe this abokis are the ones that forgot to identify their luggage and they want to use their boko haram wisdom to terrorize my airline. I will suggest that ARIK air cease flying to that state as a punishment to those people after all they have no other airline that serves that ramshackle area.
