Ngokwe-Federal Aviation Administration, imozulu ibaleka kwiindawo ezintathu zeenqwelo-moya ezinkulu eNew York City, iNewark, LaGuardia kunye neKennedy zizona ziphakamileyo kweli lizwe, kunye namaxesha angama-60 000 okulibaziseka kwemizuzu eyi-15 okanye ngaphezulu ngo-2013. Chicago O'Hare kunye neMidway, Philadelphia, eSan Francisco naseAtlanta.
Kodwa imozulu yedwa ayibangela ukuba libaleke kakhulu, i-FAA ithi.
Ukuba isikhumulo sezindiza sinamandla amaninzi, iindwendwe ezilibazisekayo zingatshintshwa kwixesha elingezangexesha lemozulu ngaphandle kokuchaphazela inkqubo. Kodwa ii-airports ezinokubambezeleka kwemozulu zibuye zisebenze ngokusondeleyo kwimiba ebalulekileyo yosuku, oku kuthetha ukuba ukubambezeleka kweenqwelo zeenqwelo-moya kunokufuneka ukuba zilinde iiyure ukuhamba okanye ukuhamba.
Ukuba i-flight yakho ikhutshwe ngenxa yeemeko zemozulu - kuquka iindwangu, iziqhwithi, i-blizzards, inkungu kunye nezikhukula, ukubiza amagama ambalwa- iinqwelo-moya zinemigaqo-nkqubo yokulungiselela abahambi. Into yokuqala omele uyiyazi kukuba awuyi kufumana nayiphi na imbuyekezo okanye indawo yokulala evela kwinqwelo-moya yokukhansela kuba oko kwakubonwa nguMthetho kaThixo ngaphandle kolawulo lomphathi. Kwaye xa iimeko zemozulu zenzeke, zihlala zikhulu zeenqwelo zomoya ezichaphazelekayo, ngoko awuhlali wedwa.
Ngoko ke ngamalungelo akho? Hlola ngokuthe ngqo nge-airline yakho, kodwa nantsi imigaqo-nkqubo jikelele:
- Ukutshintsha kwe-Flexible kwiikiti: ii-airways ziya kubakhokhela iindleko zokutshintshela ithikithi kwaye zivumele iindiza ukuba zibuyiselwe kwakhona kwiintsuku ezisixhenxe ukusuka kumhla obekiweyo.
- Tshintsha ithikithi yakho ngokupheleleyo: ii-airlines anokuvumela ukuba usebenzise ixabiso elipheleleyo lekiti lakho elingasetshenziswanga ekuthengeni kwendiza eya kwindawo eyahlukileyo.
- Tshintsha ithikithi ngaphandle kwezigwebo : izithuthi zingavumela ukutshintsha kwexesha elilodwa ngaphandle kwemali xa uhlala kwindlela efanayo.
- Ukubuyiselwa kwembuyekezo kunye nokubuyiselwa kwemali emiselweyo : ukuba imozulu iyimfuneko kwaye iishedyuli zendiza ziyinkathazo, iinqwelo-moya ziya kunika imali yokubuyisela ithikithi lakho elingasetshenzisiweyo kwaye ngamanye amaxesha nxalenye engasetshenzisiweyo yetikiti yakho ukuba uqale ukuhamba.
Unokusingatha njani kakuhle ukukhansela okunxulumene nemozulu?
- Shayela phambili okanye ukhangele i-intanethi ngaphambi kokuya kwisikhumulo sezindiza. Ukuba iindlela zikhohlisayo, le mizila iya kuba.
- Bhalisela inkonzo yokuthumela imiyalezo yendlela yokuhamba ngeenqwelo zeenqwelo zendiza zeendaba zakutshanje. Bhalisela into efana ne-Flight Aware, iwebhusayithi kunye ne-app eyenza ukulandelwa kwexesha langempela.
- Fumana i-App Next Flight kwi-smartphone yakho. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza lukuvumela ukukhangela iindiza kwezinye iinqwelo-moya xa kwenzeka ukukhishwa kwendiza yakho. Xa ufumana i-arhente kwifowuni okanye kwisikhululo se-moya, unako ukubanika iinombolo zendiza ezikhoyo ukuba zibekwe kwenye iindiza.
- Qinisekisa kwaye ubeke uphawu olu luhlu lweenombolo zeefowuni zeenqwelo zeenqwelo-moya ezihlanganiswe ngumcebisi wehambo uJohnny Jet ukubetha isihlwele sabantu abazama ukubuyela kwiindiza. Ukuba uhlala kwisikhululo sezindiza xa uhamba ngeenqwelomoya, unako ukukhawuleza ubone i-ejenti yesango okanye kwi-counter counter, kodwa unqamle umgca, utyhoboze i-smartphone yakho kwaye ubize i-airline ngokuthe ngqo okanye uye kwiwebhusayithi yayo ukuze ubuye uphinde uyibale.
- Kubalulekile ukwazi amalungelo akho. Iinqwelo ezininzi zeenqwelo zeenqwelo-moya zineNkontileka yokuThuthwa okuchaza ukuba ngabaphi abagibeli bamalungelo xa kwenzeka izinto kuquka ukulibaziseka kunye nokukhanselwa. Khangela olu luhlu oluchanekileyo oluhlanganiswe yi-Airfarewatchdog kunye neziqhagamshelwano kwiikhontrakthi ezinkulu ze-US nakwamanye amazwe.
- Ukuba uhlala kwisikhululo sezindiza xa uhamba ngeenqwelo zokurhoxisa, khangela iinkcukacha zokuhamba kunye nokufika. Amathuba ukuba iinqwelo ezizayo emva kweyakho azisebenzi, inqwelo-moya eyabuyela emva kwangomhla ngaloo ndlela iya kugqiba ukukhansela. Ukuhlolisisa ibhodi yokufika kuza kukunika ingcamango yokuba ngaba iindiza ezaneleyo ziza ukujika kwaye zisebenze njengenye indiza.
- Ukuba uhlala kwisikhululo sezindiza xa uhamba ngeenqwelomoya, kwaye ungumgibeli wokuxhuma, cela i-arhente yesango ukuba ufanele uye etaweni yetikiti okanye ukuba kukho idesksi yokudibanisa abagibeli. Nangona kungenakunyanzeliswa, iinqwelo-moya ezininzi ziya kuzinyamekela abagibeli abahambayo, ingakumbi ukuba iimeko zokubambezeleka kwemozulu / ukukhansela akuzange kuboniswe okanye zicebise xa uqale uhambo lwakho.
- Ukuhlolisisa imozulu kwindawo oya kuyo kunokukunika isibonakaliso sokuba ingaba indiza ingahamba.
Ziziphi iindlela ongakhetha kuzo ukuba unamathele kwinqwelo ngexesha lokulibaziseka kwemozulu?
Imithetho yabaThengi beSebe lezokuThutho yase-United States iyalela ii-airline zase-US ezihamba ngeenqwelomoya zangaphakathi ukuvumela ukuba iinqwelo-moya zihlale kwi-tarmac ngaphezu kweeyure ezintathu ngaphandle kokuchitha abagibeli, ngaphandle kokuvunyelwa kuphela ukhuseleko okanye ukhuseleko okanye ukuba ukulawulwa kweendlela zomoya kucebisa umqhubi-myalelo ukuba ukubuyela kwisiphelo kuya kuphazamisa imisebenzi yesikhululo-moya.
Iifayili ziyafuneka ukuba zinike abahamba ngokutya okwaneleyo kunye namanzi okusela okuselayo kwisithuba seeyure ezimbini zeenqwelo zezilwanyana ezilibazisekile kwi-tarmac kwaye zigcine ii-lavatories ezisebenzayo kwaye, ukuba kunyanzelekile, zinikezela ngonyango.
