Safety and Comfort are our Priority in Vueling

Filed In: Airlines, Been There Done That, Carlos Melia, Overated

TweetSafety and Comfort are our Priority in Vueling, that’s what the crew member voices over the speakers after having us waiting on board on the ground for over 20 minutes. The reason… funny they have on the planes more passengers than supposed. That’s is when everyone around, started getting a bit impatient and concerned, and we realize that neither Safety or Comfort were being delivered nor prioritized.
To make the story short, how did this incident ended… well first they plane took off as if nothing had happened, of course 30 minutes later than scheduled. Second, I, nor any of the checked passengers saw anyone get off the plane. Then my conclusion came to… were they wrong from the beginning and they delayed the flight because the agent at the gate does not know how to count or check the boarding passes, or are we flying with a mystery passenger on board that could make all of us blow up in the air any time soon… maybe that is a question that either the captain of the plane or the authorities of the company could explain to me or the IATA.!!!!
In the meantime I am seating at my 8 centimeters pitch seat enjoying both the comfort and security of our flight. In the end all I wanted is to get from Venice to Madrid on time to enjoy the Gay Pride Weekend. Stay tuned for more… CM
