Ilungu elilodwa Lomhlaba Qatar Airways ingenye yezindiza ezihamba phambili engake ngahlangabezana nazo, kodwa akufanelekile ukubhekana nelungu layo le-One World Airlines i-American Airlines.
Ngemva kokuchitha cishe u-$65,000 kumathikithi, ngilahlekelwe u-$13,000 ngesikhathi ngisaqhubeka futhi ngase ngisondelene nokuphazamiseka kwemizwa. Ngimoshe amahora angu-3 ngokwesilinganiso ezinsukwini eziningi lapho ngishayela inkampani yezindiza ukuze ngingaxazululeki lutho.
Ezikhathini ezi-2, inkampani yezokuvakasha yakwamanye amazwe yangikhiphela ithikithi futhi yangibhukha imali yokugibela yendiza engu-$6,750 yezinga lokuqala ukusuka e-Honolulu ukuya e-Los Angeles.

Ngenza izingcingo eziningi ku-American Airlines ngibambe amahora amaningi, ama-agent avala ucingo kimi, nabaphathi abenza izithembiso ezingazange zenziwe.
Ngesinye isikhathi, ngayalwa ukuba ngiye esikhumulweni sezindiza sasekhaya, e-Honolulu, ngiyolanda ivawusha, kodwa ngathola ikhawunta ye-American Airlines ivaliwe ngo-11 ekuseni phakathi namahora omsebenzi.
Ngemva kohambo lwesibili, ama-ejenti angu-2 asebenze ikhawunta atshala amahora angu-4 kodwa awazange anikezwe amandla okukhipha le voucher yekhredithi yendiza.
Angibange ngisakwazi ukuma, ngakho ngaya ekhaya ngingenalutho, ngishayela phakathi nesikhathi sokugijima.
Ukundiza ngendiza encane ye-American Airlines i-Airbus Neon isuka e-Los Angeles iya e-Honolulu ngenkokhelo yendiza yezinga lokuqala engu-$6,000 yendlela eyodwa akujabulisi kangako.

Lapho ngilandela amakhredithi ohambo lwami, ngachitha amahora amaningi ngishayela amasonto amaningi futhi ekugcineni ngathola ucingo olubuya oluvela kumphathi we-American Airlines.
Ngaphinde ngathumela ama-imeyili ngagcwalisa namafomu, ukuze ngithole izimpendulo ezivamile ezingitshela ukuthi i-American Airlines ithatha umlayezo wami ngokungathi sína ukuze ithuthuke - kodwa ngaphandle kwesixazululo, akukho mpendulo emibuzweni yami, futhi akukho khredithi yendiza.
Ngatshelwa ngumphathi we-AA kuvoyisimeyili engayithola phakathi nobusuku ngomhla ka-25 Mashi 2023:
“Igama lami nginguDeedee. Yebo, Mnu. Steinmetz, lo nguDeedee we-American Airlines. Ngishayela kulayini orekhodiwe. Ngike ngakhuluma nawe ngaphambilini mayelana nevawusha oyitholile.

Ngiyaxolisa ngokudideka, futhi ngethemba ukuthi lokhu kuyiphendula eminye yemibuzo yenu. Siyabonga ngokushayela i-American Airlines; ujabulela ubusuku bakho bonke.”
Ngangithole impendulo efanayo kumanxusa asesikhumulweni sezindiza, kodwa akuzange kufike lutho.
Ngemva kwamahora ezingcingo ezengeziwe, alukho olunye ulwazi olwalutholakala.
Ibhange lami lokuhamba libonise ikhredithi yendiza engu-$450 ngohambo olukhanseliwe olungahlobene ngesikhathi se-COVID ngo-2022.
Angikwazanga ukuyisebenzisa ku-inthanethi futhi ngingenaso isikhathi sokuzama ukuyisebenzisa phakathi nazo zonke lezi zinxushunxushu. Angikwazanga ukukuhlanganisa namathikithi abizayo abehlanganisa neQatar Airways.
Ekugcineni, ngafona futhi ngenza ukubhuka ngisebenzisa ikhredithi yendiza yangoMeyi 2023 esuka e-Honolulu eya e-Las Vegas. Imali yokugibela ibishibhe kancane, kodwa bengilungile ngokusula umehluko.
Lokhu kubhukha kuqinisekiswe kimi nge-imeyili futhi kwathunyelwa ngaphansi kokuthi “izindiza ezizayo” kuphrofayela yami ye-American Airlines. Ngenze lokhu kubhuka ngoMashi nomenzeli wesikhungo sezingcingo.
Ngesonto eledlule ngithole i-imeyili eqinisekisa ukuthuthukiswa komkhakha othile kulolu hambo.
Njengoba le ngxenye ihlanganiswe nokubhukha okuzimele ukuze ngifike e-Frankfurt nge-IMEX ngesonto elizayo, futhi isikhathi besingesihle, ngishayele i-American Airlines ukuze ngenze izinguquko ezincane.
Ngamangala lapho ngitshelwa ukuthi ngibekile kodwa anginalo ithikithi. Ngatshelwa ukuthi i-ejenti kuzofanele ibale kabusha ithikithi, futhi angikwazanga ukusebenzisa ikhredithi yendiza yangonyaka odlule njengoba yayiphelelwe yisikhathi.
Umenzeli uthe noma ubani owayengibhukhele ukubhukha ezinyangeni ezingu-2 ezedlule akazange akunike ithikithi, futhi manje isikhathi sesihambile. Ngangingenayo indlela yokwazi noma yokukusola lokhu.
Ngangithukuthele futhi ngacela ukukhuluma nomphathi osebenza kwamakhasimende ePlatinum. Ngemva kokulinda imizuzu engu-92, umphathi wathi akukho angakwenza. Uma bengifuna ukubhukha, bekuzodingeka ngikukhokhele futhi ngenani lamanje.
