Bad SA experience.
Flying with SA since 1989 I always was very fond of the company. My last experience however was very bad. It started by booking ?a Singapore Stopover and flying to Singapore on the 15th of march 2012(SQ323)
Arriving at Changi the personal at the desk was very inpolied , not interested and lazy. More hanging on the phone than taking care of the customer. After a 12 hrs flight we had to wait for almost aan hour before someone could take us to our hotel.?
Arriving there we had to wait again for some hours before we could enter our room. I have the opinion that a company that advertises a stopover, has to take care, that customers arriving at 5.55 in the morning, don't have to wait untill 11.00 before they can take a shower. (Carlton Hotel). Also the food arrangement was very poor. The transfer to the airport was very late, so we had to race to Changi (averige speed 90 to 100). I got up in the morning at 4.30 to be in time !!
From hereon we flew on to Bali, to go on with our holidays.
On our flight back (16th of april) it started all over again on the ?flight from Singapore to Amsterdam(SQ324).?
I don't mind if a flight has a delay, wich it had, but take care to have ? big enough staff abord to service your guests. Again during the 12 hour flight during the night we almost did ?not see a cabin attendant. The plane was very hot and there were no drinks. To have a glas of water I had to go to the kitchen myself. The breakfast was very late and wen it arrived the choise was none. I had my breakfast at the Delifrace at Schiphol Airport.
This is the worst ?experience with SA I ever had and I think I fly KLM next time.
