Sivuyisana nawe ngokufumana i-ADvantage Executive Platinum® ukufumana amanqaku eNtembeko ali-124,296 kwiSigaba soku-1 seSimo sokuPasa ngoko nangokoTM. Uyakonwabela esi simo ngoku ukuya kutsho ngoAgasti 25, 2023.
Lo yayingumyalezo endiwufumene ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka emva kokuhamba ngeenqwelo-moya ezintathu ezijikelezayo ndihlawulela amatikiti eklasi yezoshishino ukusuka e-Honolulu ukuya kuMbindi Mpuma kwi-American Airlines kunye ne-Qatar Airways kwiinyanga ezine ezidlulileyo.
Ndenze ukuba akukho nqanaba ukuya kwephezulu kwiAmerican Airlines nakwi Inkqubo yeHlabathi enye.
Ndikwayi-1K 3 Million Mile flyer kunye ne-United Airlines kwaye ndonwabela iwonga eliphezulu kwi-United Airlines kunye nenethiwekhi ye-Star Alliance ubomi bonke.
Ndandichulumancile ukuzama iinzuzo zesimo se-American Airlines Executive Platinum ngaphandle kokuphulukana nobomi bam be-United Airlines 1K.
Ilungu elinye leHlabathi Qatar Airways yenye yezona nqwelo-moya zibalaseleyo endakha ndazifumana, kodwa ayikufanelanga ukujongana nelungu le-One World Airlines yaseMelika.
Emva kokuchitha kufutshane ne-65,000 yeedola kumatikiti, ndaphulukana ne-13,000 yeedola kwinkqubo kwaye ndandikufutshane nokuphazamiseka kwengqondo. Ndichithe iiyure ezi-3 ngokwe-avareji kwiintsuku ezininzi xa ndifowunela inqwelomoya ukuze ndingasonjululwa nto.
Ngezihlandlo ezi-2, i-arhente yokuhamba kwamanye amazwe yandikhuphela itikiti kwaye yabhukisha i-$ 6,750 yeklasi yokuqala yenqwelo moya enye indlela phakathi kwe-Honolulu ukuya eLos Angeles.
Ndiye ndafumana iAmerican Airlines ukuba ndiphinde ndibhukishe intlawulo ka-F ukuya kuRhoqo lodidi lokuqala lwe-$780 indlela enye.
Ndaxelelwa kwiinyanga ezininzi ezidlulileyo kuya kubakho ikhredithi kwiprofayile yam ye-American Airlines. Ndaxelelwa ukuba ndingayisebenzisela olunye uhambo. Ndavuma, kodwa andizange ndibonise tyala.
Ndenze iminxeba emininzi kwiAmerican Airlines ngeeyure zokubamba, iiarhente zixhonywe kum, kunye nabaphathi benza izithembiso ezingazange zifezekiswe.
Ngesinye isihlandlo, ndayalelwa ukuba ndiye kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya sasekhaya, eHonolulu, ukuze ndifumane ivawutsha, kodwa ndafumana ikhawuntara yeAmerican Airlines ivaliwe ngentsimbi ye-11 kusasa ngamaxesha omsebenzi.
Emva kohambo lwesibini, iiarhente ezi-2 ebezisebenza kwikhawuntara zityale iiyure ezi-4 kodwa azizange zinikwe igunya lokukhupha le vawutsha yekhredithi yenqwelomoya.
Andizange ndikwazi nokuma, ngoko ndagoduka ndilambatha, ndiqhuba ngexesha logqatso.
Ukubhabha i-American Airlines Airbus Neon encinci ukusuka eLos Angeles ukuya e-Honolulu nge-6,000 ye-$ XNUMX yohambo lwenqwelomoya yodidi lokuqala akukho mnandi kakhulu.
- Izihlalo zokulala: Hayi
- Omnye umlindi wenqwelomoya kuyo yonke indlwana yodidi lokuqala
- Ukutya okukumgangatho ophantsi
- Indlu yangasese encinci kangangokuba awukwazi ukujika
- Akukho ukufikelela kwigumbi lokuphumla nanjengelungu eliphezulu elinetikiti elihlawulweyo leklasi yeshishini lamazwe ngamazwe
Xa ndilandela iikhredithi zam zokuhamba, ndichithe iiyure ezininzi kwiifowuni kwiiveki ezininzi kwaye ekugqibeleni ndafumana umnxeba obuyayo ovela kumphathi we-American Airlines.
Ndaye ndathumela ii-imeyile kwaye ndazalisa iifom, kuphela ukufumana iimpendulo eziqhelekileyo ezindixelela ukuba i-American Airlines ithatha umyalezo wam ngokungathí sina ukuze iphucule - kodwa kungekho sisombululo, akukho mpendulo kwimibuzo yam, kwaye akukho tyala lokubhabha.
Ndaxelelwa ngumphathi we-AA kwi-voicemail endiyifumene ezinzulwini zobusuku nge-25 kaMatshi 2023:
“Igama lam ndinguDeedee. Ewe, Mnu. Steinmetz, lo nguDeedee kunye neAmerican Airlines. Ndifowuna kumgca orekhodiweyo. Ndikhe ndathetha nawe ngaphambili ngokubhekisele kwivawutsha oyifumeneyo.
“Uye wacetyiswa ukuba ivawutsha ithunyelwe kuwe nge-imeyile. Ndiyaxolisa ukuba awuxelelwanga kakuhle. Ndiyabonisa ukuba yivawutsha yezothutho. Inombolo ondinike yona ichanekile 001-042-488-xxxx. Loo vawutsha yezothutho iya kuthunyelwa kuwe. Asiyonto. Iza kuthunyelwa nge-imeyile. Iza kuthunyelwa kuwe ngeposi, ke yivawutsha eya kuthunyelwa kuwe, ke kufuneka ulindele ukuyifumana kungekudala. Ndiyaxolisa ngokubhideka, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba oku kuphendula eminye yemibuzo yakho. Enkosi ngokufowunela iAmerican Airlines; uyonwabele yonke ingokuhlwa yakho.”
Ndandifumene impendulo efanayo kwizikhululo zesikhululo seenqwelo-moya, kodwa akuzange kufike nto.
Emva kweeyure zokufowuna ezongezelelweyo, akukho lwazi lungakumbi lufumanekayo.
Ibhanki yam yokuhamba ibonise ikhredithi yenqwelomoya ye-450 yeedola kuhambo olunganxulumananga olurhoxisiweyo ngexesha le-COVID ngo-2022.
Andikwazanga ukuyisebenzisa kwi-intanethi kwaye andinaxesha lokuzama ukuyisebenzisa ngalo lonke eli xesha lesiphithiphithi. Andikwazanga ukuyidibanisa namatikiti abiza kakhulu aquka iQatar Airways.
Ekugqibeleni, ndafowunela kwaye ndenza ugcino-ndawo ndisebenzisa ikhredithi yenqwelomoya kaMeyi ka-2023 ukusuka e-Honolulu ukuya eLas Vegas. Imali yokukhwela ibisezantsi kancinci, kodwa bendilungile ngokuwucima umahluko.
Olu bhukisho luqinisekiswe kum nge-imeyile kwaye lwathunyelwa phantsi “kweenqwelomoya ezizayo” kwiprofayile yam yeAmerican Airlines. Ndenze olu bhukisho ngoMatshi kunye nearhente yeziko lonxibelelwano.
Kwiveki ephelileyo ndifumene i-imeyile eqinisekisa uphuculo oluncomekayo lwecandelo kolu hambo.
Kuba le nxalenye idityanisiwe kunye nogcino oluzimeleyo lokufika eFrankfurt kwi-IMEX kwiveki ezayo, kwaye ixesha lalingafanelekanga, ndafowunela iAmerican Airlines ukwenza utshintsho oluncinci.
Ndothuka ndaxelelwa ukuba bendibhubhile kodwa andinalo itikiti. Ndaxelelwa ukuba i-arhente izakuphinda ibale itikiti, kwaye andinakukwazi ukusebenzisa ikhredithi yenqwelo-moya kunyaka ophelileyo ekubeni yayiphelelwe lixesha.
Umenzeli uthe nabani na ebendibhukishele indawo ebekelwe iinyanga ezi-2 ezidlulileyo akazange ayinike ithikithi, kwaye ngoku sekusemva kwexesha. Bendingenandlela yokwazi okanye ndiyikrokrele lento.
Ndandinomsindo kwaye ndacela ukuthetha nomphathi osebenza kwi-Platinum customer service. Emva kokuba elindile kangangemizuzu engama-92, umphathi wathi akukho nto anokuyenza. Ukuba bendifuna ukwenza ugcino, bekuya kufuneka ndiyihlawule kwakhona ngexabiso langoku.
Uxolo iAmerican Airlines, iiarhente zakho zenkonzo yabathengi azinamandla okubonelela ngenkonzo yabathengi, kwaye inkqubo yakho yenzelwe ukucaphukisa kunye nokuqhatha abathengi.
Ndiyaxolisa, United Airlines, ngokukuqhatha ngeAmerican Airlines.
I-United Airlines, undimoshe iminyaka engama-35, kwaye ndiya kuqhubeka nokubonisa ukunyaniseka kwam kuwe.
Ndiyonwabele imeko yam yePlatinam yeSigqeba kwiAmerican Airlines ngenxa yamava am okubhabha iQ-suite Qatar Airways.
Nangona kunjalo, ukugcina i-American Airlines ukugcina le meko akuyi kufanela, nangona iChampagne eninzi ephantsi kwi-American Airlines ebizwa ngokuba yiklasi yokuqala.
Mhlawumbi kukho ithuba lokuba Emirates ukujoyina i-Star Alliance?
I-United Airlines - ndiza kunyaniseka kwakhona!
Ndikhumbula umnxeba wenkonzo yomthengi we-United Airlines 1K.
