These are the world's worst airlines!
1. TACA AIRLINES (PERU BASED)
Taca Airlines are based in Peru. On my South American trip in 2010 - 2011, I stupidly booked a flight with Taca because the flight was SO CHEAP. They are a real budget airline and I ended up booking a flight from Cuzco to Lima which would have been cheaper and faster than the bus at the time. It wasn't so in the end. They cancelled my flight and refused to put me on another one. A horrible few days of travel
2. Jetstar a budget Airline
Jetstar are atrocious, they completely cancelled one of my flights in 2011 even after I had already got on the plane. Their flights are always delayed and they hate their customers a lot. They don't even offer any type of compensation and just take money off people and give nothing back!
3. Aerolineas Argentinas
A very strange company Aerolineas as they scheduled a flight for me before my initial flight was even due to leave. It was all a bit weird and I wasted a few days in Ushuaia sat in their office trying to sort the flights out.
- changed the time of my first flight THREE times
- changed the airport of my first flight (from Jorge Newberry to Ezeiza, Buenos Aires)
- cancelled an entire flight
- the next flight was then delayed
- they blamed computer error
4. Cathay Pacific Airlines
They lost my bag in 2012 on a long haul flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow. When my bag didn't arrive in Heathrow I had no time to waste as my connection to Belfast City Airport was in 55 minutes so I had no time to even complain. Again I have to thank my girlfriend who sourced my bag in the end. It was still in Hong Kong 3 days later and was found. Cathay Pacific offered NOTHING in compensation, but eventually delivered my bag (safe and sound) to my parents home where I was staying for a week.
5. AIR ASIA
I hate Air Asia - they are a horrible airline company and I urge you all not to fly with them. The cancelled, delayed, changed lots of my flights down the years. When they did that they didn't even offer an apology or a free cup of tea or coffee. A hotel room would have been nice but we ended up sleeping on the floor at the airport.
- Air Asia are terrible
I worked on car ferries dealing with customers day in day out for 2 seasons (Sorry for the delay, here's a free coffee), I have worked in countless bars and restaurants where the customer comes first. (Your beer isn't good? No problem I'll get you another one) and I know how to do Public Relations (I've done a year working with top brands in London and I've got a degree in the subject!!).
It's a life of ups and downs and I want to give you the good and bad stuff from my journeys.
