Family Ordeal

Post by nutsforplanes »

My family were booked to return on Pk304 1500 dep time on Jan 7 from Khi. When I
had made the reservation on the website, the A/C was supposedly A321, therefore I got
seats 25 J,K,L assigned for them.
Upon reaching the airport they found out the PK304 had been cancelled
and combined with Pk306, 1900 dep. time. They returned home and reached the airport
again at 1730. Boarding for the flight finally commenced at 2000 hrs after the passengers
started to create a ruckus. According to my wife the reason for the delay was first 'Clearence'
then 'Catering' and finally 'Technical'. The A/C was 747 AP-BIC. and the seats assigned
to them was 48 A,B,C. PK 304-306 landed at Lhe at 2147.
At the baggage claim area there were very few trolleys available and no porters. My wife
called me from the inside and I had to grab a trolley from the parking area and returned it
to her.
Seems like all the porters were in the Int'l arrival to greet the returning haji's and make
good money.

We finally reached our house at 0015 hrs
