Amaflaya avamile asebenzisa amamayela ukuze anqobe amanani okugibela aphezulu

Amakhasimende ezindiza athola imiklomelo evame ukundiza kakhulu kulo nyaka, abheke ukugwema amanani okugibela aphezulu futhi akholelwa ukuthi amamayela awasabalulekile ngokufana.

Ngezindlela eziningi ezintsha zokuzuza amamayela - kuyo yonke into kusukela ekuqashweni kwezimoto kuya ezitolo - abahambi abanolwazi besaba ukuthi kuzoba nzima ukuya lapho zithanda khona, uma befuna mahhala.

“Ubukhazikhazi bomklomelo ohamba njalo sebufiphele,” kusho u-Jay Sorensen, owayephethe uhlelo lokwethembeka eMidwest Airlines futhi manje osengumeluleki wezindiza. "Abantu bayaqaphela ukuthi ukusebenzisa amamayela ukuya eHawaii kuwumgomo onzima."

Umnotho kanye nezindleko eziphakeme zokugibela nakho kungase kucindezele abantu ukuthi basebenzise amamayela abo.

URandy Petersen, olandelela izinhlelo ezivame ukundiza njengomshicileli kamagazini i-InsideFlyer, uthi ukunyuka kwemali kwamuva nje kuholela abagibeli abaningi ukuba bashise amakhilomitha amaningi ohambweni esikhundleni sokuya eholidini eHawaii noma eYurophu.

“Bazoya eBoise, Decatur naseBakersfield,” kusho uPetersen. "Bachitha amamayela ezimeni eziphuthumayo zomndeni noma bevakashela ugogo."

Izinkampani zezindiza bezilokhu zikhuphula izidingo zamakhilomitha futhi zibeka nezindleko zokuzisebenzisa, kodwa iningi labantu lisawafaka imali.

I-Continental Airlines ibika ukuthi ngoJulayi, amakhasimende athole imiklomelo eyizigidi ezingu-1.34 kulo nyaka, okukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-21 kusukela esikhathini esifanayo ngonyaka odlule.

E-Continental, okuwukuphela kwenkampani yezindiza enkulu yase-US edalula izibalo zokuhlengwa zanyanga zonke, izikhulu zibolekisa ngezinguquko kusizindalwazi sazo ezivumela amakhasimende ukuthi abone izihlalo ezitholakalayo ezinkampanini zezindiza ezingozakwethu, abangazibhukha ngamamayela ukusuka ohlelweni lokwethembeka lwe-OnePass lwe-Continental.

I-American Airlines inohlelo oludala nolukhulu kakhulu lokwethembeka embonini, i-AAdvantage, enamalungu ayizigidi ezingu-60 aqoqe amamayela ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-200 ngonyaka odlule.

Ukusetshenziswa kwemiklomelo kwabaseMelika bekuphansi kusukela ngo-2006 kuya ku-2007 kodwa kwenyuke ngamaphesenti ayi-10 kuye kwayi-15 kulo nyaka kuze kube ngu-Agasti, kusho uRob Friedman, umongameli waseMelika wezokumaketha kwe-AAdvantage.

Njenge-Continental, intuthuko ye-Web site yaseMelika ehlonishwayo eyenza amakhasimende abone shazi ukuthi angahamba nini umzila othile nokuthi uzobiza amamayela amangaki.

"Bangabheka ikhalenda bese benza ukuhwebelana," kusho uFriedman. "Zingakwazi ukuguquguquka futhi zithenge izindiza (ezidinga amamayela ambalwa), noma zingase zidinge ukusebenzisa amamayela amaningi ukuze zihambe ngedethi ethile."

Isibonelo, ngesonto eledlule Isizindalwazi saseMelika sikhombise izihlalo ezitholakalayo ukusuka eDallas kuya e-Honolulu ngezinsuku eziningi ezizungeze i-Thanksgiving ngamamayela angu-35,000. Kodwa uma ufuna ukuhamba ngoMgqibelo, kuzodinga amamayela angu-90,000.

Lokho kukhombisa ukuthi iMelika iqiniseka kakhulu ngokuthengisa lezo zindiza zangoMgqibelo. Izinkampani zezindiza zifuna ukugcwalisa izindiza zazo ngamakhasimende akhokhayo, kodwa kufanele zilinganisele lokho ngokumelene nokukhala kwabandizayo abavamile abafuna ukuhlenga amamayela abo ngohambo lwamahhala.

Cishe amaphesenti angu-6 kuya kwangu-8 abo bonke abagibeli bandiza ngamathikithi okuklomelisa, ngokusho kwemibhalo yendiza.

Iningi lezinkampani zenethiwekhi zase-US zikhuphule izindinganiso zemayela futhi zanciphisa izikhathi zokuphelelwa yisikhathi ezinhlelweni zazo zokwethembeka.

Manje i-Delta inikeza amalungu ikhono eliqinisekisiwe lokuhlenga amamayela ohambo lwamahhala kodwa ngezindleko zamamayela amaningi engeziwe. Kule nyanga, abaseMelika baqale ukushaja ama- $ 50 - kanye namamayela ayi-15,000 - ukuze bathuthuke kumqeqeshi wezomnotho endizeni e-United States.

"Lezo zinqumo azikaze zibe lula noma zidume, kodwa ngenxa yezindleko zikaphethiloli, bezidingeka," kusho uFriedman wase-American mayelana nale mali entsha.

Lezo zinkokhelo kanye nemithetho yokuphelelwa yisikhathi eqinile kungenzeka ukuthi iyona ebangela ukwanda kokuhlengwa.

UShaun Black, ongumeluleki we-software e-Atlanta, ushise wonke amamayela akhe e-Delta ohambweni yena nomkakhe abazolithatha beya eGreece entwasahlobo ezayo. Ubekise izihlalo ngaphambi nje kokuthi iDelta iqale ukukhokhisa uphethiloli emathikithini okuklomelisa ngo-Agasti.

“Besingabheke ngisho nokuthatha uhambo,” kusho uBlack. "Bekungaphezu kwalokho - bengingeke ngiyikhokhe leyo mali."

UBlack uthe ukhathazekile ngokuthi maduze iDelta izophinda kabili amamayela adingekayo ohambweni lwamahhala ngoba abantu abaningi manje bahola amamayela ngokusebenzisa amakhadi esikweletu, ukuqasha izimoto - konke ngaphandle kokundiza.

Uhhafu wamamayela kuphela otholwa abandiza abavamile baseMelika uvela ekundizeni, kanti ingxenye iphuma ekusebenziseni ikhadi lesikweletu elikhethekile le-Citigroup noma ukuthenga kubalingani benkampani yezindiza abayi-1,000.

Futhi leyo yiyona nkinga ngalezi zinhlelo, kusho u-Tom Farmer, ophethe inkampani encane yokuthengisa e-Seattle - amamayela amaningi kakhulu ejaha izihlalo ezimbalwa kakhulu. Iflaya yezinga eliphezulu lesikhathi eside, usenokwanele.

"Kunenhlekelele okholweni ngamamayela - ahlala ebukelwa phansi," esho. “Abantu abaningi, kuhlanganisa nami, banqume ukuthi umdlalo usufinyelele phezulu futhi bayaphuma.”

UFarmer uthe uchithe amamayela angu-450,000 eNorthwest Airlines ukuze abhukhe izihlalo zebhizinisi eholidini lomndeni ehlobo elizayo e-Australia naseTahiti futhi usalelwe ngamamayela angu-2,000 kuphela. Muva nje, uthathe uhambo oluningi ku-JetBlue, kodwa akahleli ukuhlenga amamayela ngaphambi kokuthi aphelelwe yisikhathi - "umdlalo" awusakufanelekeli, esho.

Izinkampani zezindiza zifuna izindlela zokwenza izinhlelo zokwethembeka zikhange nakakhulu. I-American and Southwest isanda kumemezela ukuthi izomisa imizila yokuhlola ehlukene kwezinye izikhumulo zezindiza ukusiza amalungu ohlelo ukuthi adlule kwezokuphepha ngokushesha.

“Kunikeza amakhasimende ethu usizo olukhulu, ikakhulukazi abahambi bebhizinisi,” kusho uRyan Green, umqondisi wokwethembeka kwamakhasimende eNingizimu-ntshonalanga. "Ucwaningo lwethu lukhombisa ukuthi izinhlelo ezivame ukundiza zisezingeni eliphezulu kubahambi bebhizinisi."

Futhi izinhlelo zivame ukufeza injongo izinkampani zezindiza ezizidalele yona - ukugcina amakhasimende azo angcono kakhulu angangeni kwenye inkampani yenethiwekhi.

U-Mark Pankow, isikhulu sezokuthengisa esivela e-Wisconsin, usebenzise amamayela e-American Airlines ukuze athole izihlalo eziyisishiyagalombili zesigaba samabhizinisi ukuya e-Germany ngoKhisimusi odlule, amathikithi ayisithupha okuya e-Orlando ngo-August, futhi muva nje ubhukhe uhambo olubili lokuya e-Costa Rica.

Ezinye izindiza ezinkulu zinikeza amashejuli ahlangabezana nezidingo zika-Pankow, kodwa uyasazisa isimo sakhe seplatinamu yokuphatha ne-American.

"Kuzongithatha umcimbi oshintsha impilo yami ukuthi ngishintshele ku-United," esho. “Kuzodingeka ngindize umqeqeshi unyaka wonke ukuze nje ngibuyele ezingeni eliphezulu.”
