Here is my list of the worst airline companies in the world!
1. Peru's Taca
Taca are from Peru and are a terrible airline company. They messed up our flight and have screwed up a load of other people's flights down the years. The bus would have been faster! They are best avoided!! Avoid using Taca if you are in Peru.
2. JETSTAR (budget airline owned by QANTAS, AUSTRALIA)
Despite initially loving their cheap kick-ass fares, Jetstar quickly proved their lack of customer service to me in 2011. I had started a new job and been lucky to be given a whopping THREE days off in my first month, just so I could fly all the way back to the UK to attend a wedding. One of my best mates as a child was Michael McClelland and so I wanted to be there in Belfast for his big day. It would also be my first time in Northern Ireland for some 800 days - my longest ever time away from my native land. So I booked 2 flights with Jet Star as it was just so cheap even with connections, I then booked another two flights with Air Asia and Easyjet meaning I could get home to Michael's wedding, but would have 4 flights to take, a half day in Kuala Lumpur and a full day in Paris on route. Two cities I'd been to before, but hey I could see family and attend a wedding and keep my job as a school teacher in Hong Kong. All the flights were cheap. All looking good.
3. Aerolineas Argentinas
OK so I'm including this company but they're the best of this bad bunch to be honest - the onboard stewards were friendly and they eventually sorted me out. BUT here's what they did during the only three flights I took with them:
- changed the time of my first flight THREE times
- moved me to a completely different airport in Buenos Aires
- cancelled one of my flights (the third flight)
- the next flight was then delayed
- and most ridiculous of all they later scheduled me onto a second flight which would leave before the first flight had landed. Their excuse for this was a computer error.
4. CATHAY PACIFIC
Cathay Pacific managed to lose my bag on a long haul flight then they claimed they had no record of me putting my bag on the flight. Totally crazy experience and no compensation offered when they finally found my bag and returned it to me five days later.
5. Cheap Company Air Asia
Where do I start - Air Asia are fucking atrocious! I have been on about 7 - 8 Air Asia flights down the years and they have never ever once been on time. They never offer you any kind of compensation and their customer service level is shocking. I can't begin to say how much I despise Air Asia. Please take my advice and NEVER use them. My recent Air Asia experience in Hong Kong Airport was actually the catalyst for this blog post. Here's a quick overview of what happened.
- Never trust Air Asia
So fellow travellers, please let me know what airline companies you think are terrible. This is my list of 5 shit airline companies, all from personal travel experiences. I won't be booking with them again or recommending them. And a travel writer and blogger is exactly the person they don't need to upset.
I will be doing a few more negative posts in future as all my travel stuff just seems a bit too happy and we all know that a lifestyle of travel isn't really like that!
