There is nothing logical about this post that appears to be your primary response.

Firstly, the airport in Anambra is about an hour to Asaba, every day and "twice on Sundays"
What made rush is the man referring to exactly? What is the relationship between this mad rush and getting to Asaba from the airport.

I think that you should remove some of your post, they weren't well thought out, perhaps motivated by social media misinformation; the location of the airport is secure; the distance from the airport to Asaba is not 3-4 hours.

If you prefer to be dropped off at Benin, say so. We don't need any reasons. The ones stated are false and certainly not logical.

From Anambra airport to Asaba isn't upto 30mins.

Onitsha to Asaba is just 5mins

Anambra airport to Onitsha is just another 10mins max.

The Op has a sinister motive... imagine saying Anambra isn't safe on Mondays...unizik first semester exam is starting tomorrow oo.

Nonsense

Yes. It makes it unsafe for travels. In fact, I know people who cancelled their trips to Ikogosi Resort because of the insecurity in Ekiti.

From Onitsha to Asaba is not up to 5 mins. Why didn't the Airline land in Asaba and put Anambra passengers on a bus?

What if they've few Asaba passengers? Will it be wiser taking many Anambra passengers to Asaba airport or Anambra state airport?

What if he's the only Asaba passenger?

My first time going to Lagos, I used GUO 7.30am bus, booked 1st seat but when I got there I realized there weren't many passengers on their 6:30am bus and they merged us.

They changed my 1st seat and asked me to choose another because theres someone on 6:30.

He has no excuse to talk rubbish abeg

If you know what AMCON is, you will understand why it takes over companies and why those companies are no longer owned by anyone...

But since na only Transload you and your brothers sabi, carry on with the criminality
At least they don’t trans load people into trailers along with livestock and Ak 47.
And you are proud celebrating the taking over of your family business by AMCON since they were doing better than others.

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.
/
Only God can decide when they will refund you.
AirPeace has not refunded me since April last year. So don't hold your breath.

Why book a trip on that one aeroplane wonder called United Nigeria? I am surprised that you didn't report any fights at the ticketing counter--that's their trademark.

United Nigeria and Dana Airlines have no business in commercial aviation. There should be a minimum number of aeroplanes (at least 4) in a fleet before getting a license in Nigeria.

NB: It is funny how people are defending United Nigeria. No wonder Nigerian consumers are treated like pieces of shit because they can tolerate anything. MTN, DSTV, you name it--they do nonsense and get away with it because of unsolicited and unpaid public defenders we havegrin

Thanks for heeding my advice to check the name of Arik air owner.

You will be so surprised that both the initiator and 90% of the people contributing in this thread are all Igbo people using assorted monikers.

Offline, they use ESN and UGM to kill and hound Anambra people out of their own state.

Online they use Igbo Amala etc to attract hatred from other tribes against Anambra businesses and celebrities.

Their hate against Anambra people is fuelling all tribal wars on Nairaland just to make sure they uproot Anambra people at home and abroad.

Yorubas and Hausas as well as other Nigerian tribes cannot understand the dynamics of South East politics.

Anambra people are facing the most hateful people that God created and only God can save us.


The crime of Anambra is that they try to be successful.

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


You just had to bring in your tribal attitude to this , how do you feel now?

Booked an impromptu flight from Lagos to Asaba via United Nigeria to Asaba from Lagos. Booked the flight at 9:33am, it was a 1pm flight that cost ₦86,956.52. landing 2pm. Aim was to travel back same day .

Got to the airport at 11:30am. Checked email, no cancellation, so I walked up to the check in counter.

Flight AC75Z0

If you didn't book the flight yourself, you won't be able to get any notification of flight cancellations or reschedulings.

You must be a paid spokesperson for this fraud of an airline. Can you see how you are justifying illegality?quote author=Administration1 post=129677777]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.

Hmmmm. Thank you for mentioning me to this thread.

I've been seeing this airline for a while now, and bookmarked to try it.

I'd just stick to my Max Air and co.
They're not bad. I've entered them before.

The problem was that the OP booked an afternoon weekend flight which has less passengers.

And it was very obvious that more than half of the passengers had Anambra as their destination that's why they dropped them off at Anambra and offered to convey them by road to Asaba.

The rule of the thumb when booking local flights in Nigeria is to avoid booking afternoon flights. If all their 7am flights are booked, look for another airline or postpone your flight.

The wahala of mid-day flights no be here.

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.

.
And who told you Anambra isn't secure?
