First Time Traveler?

Well, it's not exactly the first time that I've traveled. But it's my first time to board the Air Phil Express airline and I was so excited. And most importantly, it's the first time that I've experienced a CANCELLED FLIGHT!

If I were alone, I'm sure I'd be teary eyed and wouldn't know what to do. I'm so lucky that I was traveling with beau so hard situations seem easier to handle. =)

I was disappointed upon learning that our flight was cancelled. Negative thoughts came pouring in: like, what if we were not really meant to go to Coron? What will happen to the promo fare tickets we purchased since 6 months ago? What are we going to do?


Chaos was everywhere when some passengers were demanding explanation from Air Phil Express. We were told to go to the arrival area to get our bags and for further instructions. It was even more chaotic in the  passenger's assistance area because unfortunately, the company did not have a working system to accommodate the irate passengers. For the record, I wasn't among the irate guests. I patiently waited and listened to the Air Phil Express staff for instructions, even though they were somewhat unclear. I just hoped for the best.


Air Phil Express offered us passengers with accommodations at the Palm Plaza Hotel. Not bad since I really wanted to go to Rustan's. Hehehe! So, our hotel and meals were paid by the airline, our airport transfers were also provided. Getting a cancelled flight is not a beautiful situation and it was such an unnecessary stress but I'm still thankful that the compensation we got was decent enough, it was actually really comfortable. I just hope that every airline company should be well prepared with situations like this. And please, separate the complaining passengers from the conformists! Honestly, it was really stressful listening to the irate and complaining passengers and some are even shouting. Arggghhhh! Anyway......

The next morning we again went through all the check-in process at the airport. We used our previously-issued terminal fee tickets from our cancelled flight. When I heard about our confirmed flight, I was excited again. Our flight to Busuanga was smooth and the views during the airport approach were very beautiful!

Below are some of the photos we took at the Busuanga airport. =)

Just alighted from the Air Phil Express 76-seater Q400 turbo propeller plane.

Busuanga, finally!

Stay tuned for more posts related to Coron. =)

AirPhil Express Free Baggage Allowance

I was a little stressed earlier today when I reviewed our flight itinerary for our Busuanga trip tomorrow. I have booked two promo fare tickets from Air Phil Express several months ago and it's actually going to be my first time to fly in this airline.

When I noticed that there was no indication on whether we had baggage allowance for our trip, I went www.airphilexpress.com to add baggage but it cannot be found anywhere in their Manage Booking tab or anywhere in their site. The Davao ticketing office won't answer my telephone call so I had to call long distance to their Cebu reservations office.

The customer service representative informed me that ALL AirPhilExpress tickets, whether promo fare or otherwise, includes 15 kg of baggage allowance. I was so happy to hear that! Wow! I think I'm gonna be flying Air Phil more often because of this!

Busuanga, I'll see you tomorrow!

App Crash

What would you do when your Windows Explorer would always crash and you don't know why it happened?

I'm stunned. I don't know what has been causing this app crash and I don't exactly know what to do. Maybe I really need to get the anti-virus soon. This app crash started around three days ago and it has been bugging me specially when I'm looking for files.

I want an affordable but reliable anti-virus software. I think I should call Tierracycle and ask what's the best anti-virus software for me.

Overtime

Hello! It's almost 6 in the evening and I'm still in the office. I haven't finished my work yet but I think that I've done a lot today. I will just finish my work tomorrow. =)

I'm tired but I'm happy. It's a Friday so I'm going out tonight with friends. I feel weird writing this post. Before, I would normally have a grumpy attitude whenever I render some overtime work. Maybe it helped that I had an angel with me earlier here in the office. =)

I've got to get ready now 'cause I'll be having dinner with my friends. I hope you're not too cramped up with work right now. Take it easy, and smile! =)
