Never Fly Air Blue (aka Airport Episodes)

Never fly Air Blue unless:

1. You are the pilot
2. You are the cabin crew
3. You have at least a 24-hour buffer for any engagement oyu might have at your destination
4. You have no will to live outside the airport
5. You like being kept in suspence bout terminally delayed flights

Oh, the list could go on, but let's cut to the chase and just say: "DON'T!"

Well, we did, for lack of availability of seats on other flights, and boy, did we suffer. I shall recount more in detail later, as I now have to proceed to skive off work for the last few hours.

Before you judge me, please be aware that I am one of the only handful of people crazy enough to be working today.

Read the posts below from the bottom up, starting from #1 (obviously!) ....

Happens with all airlines.

Have had delays on PIA, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, BA, Air Lingus etc.

Emirates has 8 hours delay (ask Hina for full story) and there was a time not so long ago that we got two free tickets because our flight was delayed going and then coming back :).

I wish those delays happened more often.

As long as the service is good, the staff pleasant and the bathroom clean make the most of it.

Had a very good experience this time flying PIA. Was pleasantly surprised by the service and friendly staff.

Omair

PS if you ever travel by Aero Asia avoid using the washroom. Actually this is one air line which you should avoid all together.

Well, thank your stars you didn't travel by PIA. Friends of mine came from dubai to karachi on a cargo plane courtesy PIA .... charged the regular fare ofcourse.
