A passenger who claimed to have been on British Airways has explained how a six and half hours journey of Abuja to London took 11hrs with many experiences.
The passenger (name withheld) explained that they took off at exactly 8:05 in Abuja with another pilot in order to pick the main pilot who would fly the plane to London.
She said the claim was that the pilot who was billed for the main flight had declined to sleep in Abuja due to fear of terror attacks.
According to the passenger, on getting to Lagos, one of the passengers in the plane fell sick and the rest passengers had to wait for the affected passenger to be escorted off the plane without any notification until a pandemonium erupted before they could be appealed to.
“I first have to thank the Almighty for journey mercy then tell my experience with my so called favorite airline British Airways.
“It was supposed to be a six and half hour flight from Abuja to London but it took almost 11hrs. Left Abuja on time 8.05 but because according to the airline, due to security alert in Abuja, the pilot refused to sleep in Abuja… Don’t ask me who flew the plane to Lagos,” the passenger wrote
She said with all passengers on board, “we had to fly to Lagos to pick up the pilot.”
“After touching down in Lagos, a passenger fell ill and we had to wait for he/she be escorted off the plain without no announcements made until a few of us exploded before apology came.
The passenger called on Nigerians to vote for a leader whose people’s welfarism both locally and internationally is top notch in his heart
“Why l’m l telling you this? Come 2023, we need a government that will stand for her people internationally.
The passenger further stressed that, British Airways had been her favorite since it was British Caledonian Airways
“I used to boast l only fly British Airways, been flying from when it was British Caledonian Airways but after the yesterday’s experience, will do a rethink,” she said
