Ngisho nabahambi abahamba kahle kakhulu badinga indawo ethile yokubiza ekhaya. Akukho okwenza ikhaya lizwe liphelele kunokuba nomngane wakho onamagundane amane alinde. Kukhona isibopho esiyingqayizivele ukuthi izivakashi zanamuhla zinezilwane ezifuywayo: kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziya kuphi, othile uzohlale ehlala elinde ukubingelela ngothando olungathandeki nomzwelo.
Ngaso sonke isikhathi ngesikhathi esifanayo, kubonakala sengathi kufanelekile ukuletha abangane abanomsoco ohambweni olulandelayo.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yizimpelasonto echibini noma uhambo oluya emkhatsini wezwe, izilwane ezifuywayo zingaba umngane wemvelo futhi oduduzayo ukuba abe eceleni. Kuye lapho ufika khona, abanye abahambayo bazothenga uhlelo lwe-inshuwalense yokuhamba ukuwafihla uma kwenzeka ukulimala, ukugula noma umcimbi ongalindelekile. Uma ngabe kwakubi kakhulu okwakungenzeka, ingabe izilwane ezihambahambayo nazo zingahlanganiswa?
Ngeshwa, izilwane ezifuywayo azinawo amalungelo afanayo namazinga wokubambisana njengabangane babo abangabantu. Labo abahlela ukuhamba nezilwane ezifuywayo nge-tow kudingeka bacabange zonke izimo ezibathinta ngenkathi behamba-kokubili endleleni eya endaweni oya kuyo nalapho bekude nekhaya.
Abathwali banemithetho ehlukile yezilwane ezifuywayo
Kulabo abahamba emoyeni, izinqubomgomo zezilwane ezifuywayo zingahluka kakhulu. Njengombuso jikelele, abahambi badinga ukuxhumanisa nabathwali babo ngemithetho yokuhamba yezilwane zabo futhi bahlele amalungiselelo esikhathini eside. Izinja ezincane namakati ahamba esithwaleni esisezingeni elihambahambayo angakwazi ukuhamba nomnikazi wazo njengemithwalo yokuthwala.
Uma isilwane esingenakukwazi ukulungele kahle endlini, noma kukhona izilwane ezifuywayo eziningi kakade egumbini elikhulu, kungenzeka ukuthi zihanjiswe njengemithwalo ehloliwe.
Ukuze uhambe njengemithwalo ehloliwe, izinja zingadinga indawo yokuhlala ekhethekile, kuhlanganise nobudala obuncane, i-crate yokuhamba, nesitifiketi sezempilo esivela kudokotela wezilwane.
Izindiza zezindiza zingase zibeke imali ekhethekile kubangane bezilwane ngenkathi behamba; le nqubomgomo ihluka phakathi kwezindiza.
Okokugcina, nakuba i-airline ingathutha izilwane ezifuywayo, ngayinye inezinga elihlukile lokuzibophezela empilweni yesilwane ngenkathi iphathwe kumthwali wesithwala. Njengoba kuboniswe enkantolo yangaphambilini, ezinye izindiza zezindiza zizokwehlisa imithwalo yabo emingceleni efanayo enikezwe ukuhlolwa kwemithwalo, okwamanje isethwe kumaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-3,300 ngezindiza ezindizeni. Uma isilwane sasingalimala noma sifa ekunakekeleni kwezindiza, izindiza zezindiza zingabhalela kuphela ukulahlekelwa kwemali eshiwo, kuze kube sezingeni eliphezulu.
Ukuhamba Umshuwalense Akuhambisani Nezifuyo Ezifuywayo
Abahamba ngamazwe bazothenga inqubomgomo yomshuwalense wokuhamba ukumboza impilo yabo ngenkathi bezwe langaphandle. Ingabe lezo zinkululeko ezifanayo zinezilwane ezifuywayo nazo? Impendulo inzima futhi inzima.
Uma isilwane sifike endizeni singahlolwa noma senzeke, khona-ke ezinye izinqubomgomo zomshuwalense wokuhamba zingabheka isilwane njengemithwalo. Ngenxa yalokho, umshuwalense wokuhamba ungase ubheke ukuthi kwenzekani esilwaneni sakho njengesiphumo esiqondile sokuphatha kusuka endizeni yezindiza. Uma isilwane silimala ngesikhathi sokuhamba, inqubomgomo yomshuwalense wokuhamba ingakhetha ukumboza lokhu ngaphansi kokulimala kwemithwalo. Uma kwenzeka okungenakwenzeka, khona-ke inani elithengisiwe lezilwane lingase liphinde lithathwe njengokulahlekelwa kwemithwalo.
Ngaphambi kokuthenga inqubomgomo yomshuwalense wokuhamba, qiniseka ukuthi ubuze ukuthi izilwane ezibukwayo zibhekwa kanjani nenqubomgomo.
Ingabe ukuhamba ngomshuwalense uzohamba ngokukhansela uma uhambo lwendiza lungenakuthola isilwane? Ngokuvamile, izinqubomgomo eziningi zomshuwalense wokuhamba azibheki izimo zezilwane njengezimo ezamukelekayo zokukhansela uhambo, kuhlanganise nokuhlela kabusha uhambo ngoba i-airline ayikwazi ukwamukela isilwane. Laba bahambi abathintekayo ukuthi indiza ingaba "i-pet-overbooked" kufanele bacabangele ukufaka i-Cancel nganoma yisiphi isizathu kuhlelo lwabo lomshwalense.
Ingabe umshuwalense wokuhamba ubheka ukulimala kwesilwane ngenkathi ephesheya? Ngenxa yokuthi izinqubomgomo zomshuwalense wokuhamba zilinganiselwe kubantu abahamba ngezinyawo, abaningi ngeke bavale ukulimala noma ukugula ezifuywayo ngenkathi behamba emhlabeni jikelele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye izindawo, njengeHawaii , zinesidingo sokuhlukanisa izilwane ezifuywayo.
Njengendleko eyaziwayo yabashayeli, umshuwalense awukwazi ukumboza ukubambezeleka noma ukulahlekelwa njengomphumela. Kodwa-ke, labo abahamba nezilwane zabo ezifuywayo ngaphesheya kwe-United States kufanele bacabangele uhlelo lwe-inshuwalense yezilwane ezikhethekile, olungabheka izindleko uma isilwane silimala ngenkathi sihamba.
Nakuba izilwane ezifuywayo zingavamile "zimbozwa" ngumshuwalense wokuhamba, abahambi bangathatha izindawo zokuhlala ezinengqondo ukuze banakekele abangane babo abavuthayo. Ngokuqonda ukuthi yimuphi umshwalense ozokwenza futhi ngeke uhlanganise, abahambi bangenza izinqumo ezingcono mayelana nokuthi bazohamba nini nezilwane ezifuywayo, nokuthi nini ukuzoshiya ekhaya.
