Ingabe uyahamba nezingane ukuya endaweni oyivakashela kuyo? Ngokuya ngeminyaka yabo nokuthi yikuphi ukushayela kwezindiza oyikhethile, ungakwazi ukugibela indiza ekuseni bese uhlala izihlalo zakho ngaphambi kokubiza izinkomo zabagibeli.
Qaphela ukuthi izinqubomgomo zingashintsha kwabathwali bezindiza abahlukene. Ezinye izindiza zicela imindeni ukuba igibele phambi komunye umuntu ngenkathi abanye bevumela imindeni ukuba idilize endaweni ethile phakathi kwabagibeli abahamba phambili kanye nabaqeqeshi abahamba njalo.
Kungani zonke izindiza zezindiza zinikeza inqubomgomo efanayo? Izindiza zezimoto zifuna ukugibela abagibeli ngokushesha kodwa zifuna ukuvuza ama-flyers abo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindiza zezimali zithengisa abagibeli kuqala amalungelo okubheka.

Khumbula ukuthi lapho abagibeli begibele, indiza isadingeka itekisi emgwaqweni bese ilinde emgqeni ukuze ihambe. Ukubhukuda kusenesikhathi kungasho ukuthi ingane yakho iboshwe emaminithini angu-45 ngaphambi kokuba indiza isemoyeni.
Ukunciphisa isikhathi ingane ivalelwe esihlalweni sezindiza, imindeni eminingi isebenzisa lobu buqili obuvivinywa: Ikhodi elilodwa lomzali kusenesikhathi futhi lithola izikhwama zokuthwala umndeni kanye nezinye izinto ezigciniwe kanye nesitulo semoto sezingane.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, omunye umzali ulinde egumbini lokuphumula nomntwana kuze kube yilapho isikhathi sokugibela esijwayelekile. Lokhu kunikeza abantwana nezintambo ezisemakhaya isikhathi esiningi sokuhamba ngaphambi kokuba bahambe ngendiza.
Into eyodwa imindeni engadingeki ukukhathazeka ngayo ukuhlala ndawonye, ngenxa yokudluliswa kwemali ye-Federal Aviation Administration yokugunyazwa kabusha ngoJulayi 2016, okudinga izindiza ukuba zibeke imindeni nabantwana abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-13 ndawonye ngaphandle kokuphoqa ukuba bakhokhele izihlalo ze-premium.
