Ngokusho kwe-Federal Aviation Administration, ukuphuza kwesimo sezulu ezikhungweni zezindiza ezintathu ezinkulu eNew York City - i-Newark, iLaGuardia ne-Kennedy yizona eziphakeme kunazo zonke kuleli zwe, okulibazisekile okungaba ngu-60 000 kwemizuzu engu-15 noma ngaphezulu ngo-2013. Chicago O'Hare neMidway, Philadelphia, eSan Francisco nase-Atlanta.
Kodwa isimo sezulu kuphela asikho ekubambezelekeni okukhulu, kusho i-FAA.
Uma isikhumulo sezindiza sinomthamo omkhulu ngokweqile, izindiza ezibambezelekile zingashintshwa ezikhathini ezingezona zezulu ngaphandle kokuthinta uhlelo. Kodwa izindiza zezindiza ezinokulibaziseka kwesimo sezulu zibuye zisebenze kakhulu eduze kwamandla ezingxenyeni ezibalulekile zosuku, okusho ukuthi izindiza ezibambezelekile kungadingeka ukuba zilinde amahora ukuhamba noma ukuhamba.
Uma indiza yakho ikhanseliwe ngenxa yezenzakalo zezulu - kufaka phakathi izinkanyamba, iziphepho, amabhiliza, inkungu nokukhukhula, ukubiza izinkampani ezimbalwa - izinkampani zinezinqubomgomo ezikhona ukuze zihambisane nabahambi. Into yokuqala okumelwe ukwazi ukuthi awuyikuthola isinxephezelo noma izindlu zokulala ezivela e-airline yokukhansela ngoba yilokho okubhekwa njengoMthetho kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle komphathi wenkampani. Futhi uma kwenzeka izenzakalo zezulu zenzeke, ngokuvamile kuvame ukuba nezindiza ezindizayo, ngakho-ke awusodwa.
Ngakho yiziphi amalungelo akho? Hlola ngokuqondile ne-airline yakho, kodwa nansi izinqubomgomo eziningi:
- Izinguquko eziguquguqukayo kumathikithi: izindiza zezindiza zizoyeka ukukhokha intela yokushintsha amathikithi futhi zivumele izindiza ukuba ziphinde zibuyiselwe ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa kusukela ngosuku oluhleliwe oluhleliwe.
- Shintsha ithikithi lakho ngokuphelele: izindiza zingakuvumela ukuba usebenzise inani eligcwele lethikithi lakho elingasetshenziswanga ekuthengeni indiza eya endaweni ehlukile.
- Shintsha ithikithi ngaphandle kwezijeziso : izithuthi zingavumela ushintsho lesikhathi esisodwa ngaphandle kwemali uma uhlala endleleni efanayo.
- Ukubuyiselwa kwembuyiselo kanye nokubuyiselwa imali okuyingxenye : uma isimo sezulu sibi kakhulu futhi sishaye indiza kuyinkinga, izindiza zezindiza zinganikeza ukubuyisela ithikithi lakho elingasetshenzisiwe futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nengxenye engasetshenzisiwe ithikithi lakho uma uqale ukuhamba.
Ungasingatha kanjani kangcono ukukhansela okuhlobene nesimo sezulu?
- Shayela phambili noma hlola inthanethi ngaphambi kokuya esikhumulweni sezindiza. Uma imigwaqo ikhohlisayo, imigwaqo izoba nayo.
- Bhalisela insizakalo yokuthumela imibiko yendiza yendiza yezindiza yezindaba zakamuva kakhulu ekuhambeni kwakho. Futhi ubhalisele okuthile okufana ne-Flight Aware, iwebhusayithi kanye ne-app enikeza ukulandelela kwendiza yesikhathi sangempela.
- Thola uhlelo lokusebenza olulandelayo lwe-Flight ku-smartphone yakho. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza likuvumela ukuba useshe izindiza kwezinye izindiza uma kwenzeka ukhansela indiza yakho. Uma uthola i-ejenti efonini noma esikhumulweni sezindiza, ungabanika izinombolo zendiza ezitholakalayo ukuze zifakwe kwenye indiza.
- Qinisekisa futhi ubhukimise lolu hlu lwezinombolo zezindiza zezindiza ezihlanganiswe umchwepheshe wezokuvakasha uJohnny Jet ukushaya isixuku salabo abazama ukubuyisa izindiza. Uma usesikhumulweni sezindiza lapho indiza yakho ikhansela, ungangena phezulu ukuze ubone i-ejenti yesango noma ithikithi lethekithi, kodwa weqa umugqa, shaya i-smartphone yakho bese ushayele indiza ngqo noma uye kwiwebhusayithi yayo ukuze ubuyekeze indiza yakho.
- Kubalulekile ukwazi amalungelo akho. Izindiza eziningi zineSivumelwano Sokuthutha esichaza ukuthi yiziphi amalungelo abagibeli uma kwenzeka izinto kufaka phakathi ukubambezeleka nokukhansela. Hlola lolu hlu oluhlelekile oluhlanganiswe yi-Airfarewatchdog ngezixhumanisi esivumelwaneni sezinkampani ezinkulu ze-US nezamazwe ngamazwe.
- Uma usesikhumulweni sezindiza lapho indiza yakho ikhansela, hlola izikrini zombili zokuhamba nokufika. Kungenzeka ukuthi uma izindiza ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kunezinkampani zakho zingasebenzi, indiza ephindaphindiwe kamuva ngosuku olulodwa ingase iphele ukukhansela. Ukuhlola ibhodi lokufika kuzokunikeza umqondo wokuthi ngabe izindiza ezanele ziza ukujika futhi zisebenze njengenye indiza.
- Uma usesikhumulweni sezindiza lapho indiza yakho ikhansela, futhi ungumgibeli oxhumayo, cela i-ejenti yesango uma kufanele uqondise etafuleni lethekithi noma uma kukhona ideski yokuxhuma abagibeli. Nakuba kungenakuphoqeleka, izindiza ezindiza eziningi zizokhathalela abagibeli abahambayo, ikakhulukazi uma isimo sezulu sibaphuza / ukukhansela akuzange kuboniswe noma kuneluleka lapho uqala uhambo lwakho.
- Ukuhlola isimo sezulu lapho uya khona kungakunikeza inkomba yokuthi indiza ingahamba yini.
Yiziphi izinketho zakho uma unamathela endizeni ngesikhathi sokulibazisa kwezulu?
Imithetho yabathengi eMnyangweni wezokuThutha yase-US ivimbela izindiza ezindizayo zase-US ezihamba ngezindiza zasendlini ekuvumela ukuba izindiza zihlale endaweni engaphansi kwamahora angaphezu kwamahora amathathu ngaphandle kokuchitha abagibeli, ngaphandle kokuvunyelwa kuphela ukuphepha noma ukuphepha noma uma ukulawulwa kwezithuthi zomoya kuyala umshayeli ngomyalo wokuthi Ukubuyela ekubulaleni kuzophazamisa ukusebenza kwesikhumulo sezindiza.
Izindiza zezindiza kudingeka zinikeze abagibeli ukudla okwanele namanzi okuphuza okuphuza angakapheli amahora amabili ezindiza ephuzelelekile ekudleni futhi egcina amakhompiyutha asebenzayo futhi, uma kunesidingo, anikeze usizo lwezokwelapha.
