Comfortable flight conditions, polite service of the aircraft crew, understanding from the airport staff and showing respect for the client - isn't this what airline passengers need in order to form a good opinion about them and continue to use their services in the future? However, unfortunately, for many of those who often use the services of air carriers, the negative experience outweighs the positive. Why such unpleasant impressions?
As a rule, customers are outraged by the rude attitude of the staff, the pressure at the time of the offer to purchase additional services, the lack of informing passengers about a change in the schedule of their flight, the inability of the airline staff to provide assistance in an emergency, or an elementary unwillingness to help the passenger. All this has an extremely negative impact on the reputation of airlines. How should you act so that your flight does not become the main stressful situation of this month? It is necessary to devote some time to the process of choosing an airline, cooperation with which will bring you extremely pleasant emotions. What needs to be done for this? Carefully study not only information about available offers for selecteddates and destinations, but also reviews from real airline customers who can tell the truth about the level of service and the condition of the aircraft. Many, having done this, opt for the carrier "Siberia" (airline). Reviews of 2015 and 2016 will help you get the most complete picture of the current affairs of the company and the methods of its work with passengers. This information will be discussed in more detail later in the article.
