The adventure of flying
And I am back in Lux. Without my luggage again. They lost it on the way there and on the way back. I am getting tired of "we are sincerely sorry, hope you will fly with us again". Nope Delta /KLM. Not after hours of delays and time spent filling in lost items report, flights overbooked, check in mistakes and running like in the 100m Olympics between terminals. I am done trying. I am handing in my passenger resignation.
Below, two samples of cabin crew infinite wisdom.
Allergy announcement:
"We have identified that one of the passengers suffers from a peanut allergy. Therefore we have decided not to serve any peanuts during this flight. In addition, we kindly ask passengers who have peanuts not to eat them during this flight".
I´m sorry, what?! If you have identified the allergic, then just don´t serve him/her peanuts, right? Why is everyone banned from having some? And why nobody should eat their own peanuts? I mean, what is the concern here? Are you afraid that the individual will not be able to help him/herself and jump to the fellow passenger and eat his nuts? The hunger is too strong? "I ..NEED.. PEANUTS" will he say in zombie like fashion, trying to reach out for a bag?
And then what are we doing about the lactose intolerant? I´m sure that on such a big plane there is somebody who swellst like a baloon when ingesting lactose. We should forbid any related products, right?
What if you have a muslim on board - no more pork for anybody, no? Now that I think of it, Delta/KLM should forbid serving any type of food on board. Too bad stupidity cannot be forbidden..
Choice of meal
The stewardess comes by my side, all smiles:
- "My name is Cindy and I will be your server tonight. What would you like to have for the main course"?
- "Thank you Cindy. I´ll have the fish please" I smile back after couple of seconds of reflection.
- "Excellent choice sir" she says and she scuttles back to the front of the plane.
"I´m sorry sir" I hear her voice all of a sudden "we have gave away all the fish. What would you prefer instead? I hear the chicken is excellent"
- "Ammmm, no I´ll have the beef stew thank you" I say annoyed after a quick run through the menu.
- "Umm, aaaa.... In fact, sir we have only chicken left I´m really sorry".
- "Then I guess I´ll take that" I mumble a wtf trying to contain my excitement.
- "I do apologise for the inconvenience - we can offer you some miles" she says full of hope thinkin that the perspective of making some additional flights with Delta will sound irresistible to me.
- "No thanks. Let me know if you do find some fish though".
The name of the stewardess has been changed for her own protection. On the other hand the name of the airline, wasn`t.
