Recently, Vice Ganda expressed anger and frustration on his social media account regarding an unpleasant experience with Pal Airlines. In his post, he conveyed his concerns about the inconvenience and troubles he encountered during his trip, which was supposed to bring joy.
In his statements, Vice Ganda questioned the challenges faced by the passengers of the said airline. He criticized the disruptions and excessive ticket bookings, an issue that is gradually becoming common in many airlines. He also raised the question of whether the airline still had concern for their passengers or if it was all about making money.
Vice Ganda shared a harrowing experience that brought him to tears due to extreme stress. In his post, he described how he had to run to catch the plane, almost missing it due to overbooking. He also couldn’t help but recount the ordeal of his companion, Ion, who looked pitiful sitting by the plane’s door, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to board.
Philippine Airlines swiftly responded to Vice Ganda’s allegations. However, the comedian found their response unsatisfactory. He complained about the chaotic situation at the counter, where the airline staff claimed that his seat had been given to another passenger. This infuriated Vice Ganda, as it seemed like the airline’s explanation was inadequate.
In the end, Vice Ganda expressed his disappointment with Philippine Airlines and conveyed his sentiments through a sarcastic remark about the staff at the counter. He didn’t shy away from mentioning his hope to receive a free round-trip ticket via Cathay Pacific.
This incident highlights the need to address issues related to overbooking in airlines to prevent confusion and dissatisfaction among passengers. It also underscores the significant benefit of empathy and understanding from companies in the airline industry, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the happiness and safety of their passengers.
Hindi yan ang sinabi sakin sa counter! Ang sabi ng staff
