Ukubambezeleka, ukukhanselwa kanye nezinhlelo zokuhamba ezicekeleke phansi: Unyaka ka-2018 ube ngomunye weminyaka emibi kakhulu mayelana nokuphazamiseka kwendiza, nenombolo erekhodiwe yezinhlelo zokuhamba ezingahambi kahle. Nokho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini engahambi kahle, uzilungiselele; lapha I-Airhelp ichaza imiyalo engu-10 yokuhamba ngendiza odinga ukuyikhumbula njalo uma indiza yakho iphazamiseka.
1: Uzoba nokudla namanzi: Yini engaba yimbi kunokulinda indiza ebambezelekile? Kufanele ulinde indiza ebambezelekile endaweni yetiyela! Abahambi abaningi abazi ukuthi empeleni banikezwa amalungelo athile kulezo zimo ezicasulayo. UMnyango Wezokuthutha wase-US udale isethi yemithetho mayelana nokulibaziseka kwetiyela okusebenza ekubambezelekeni okwenzeka ezikhumulweni zezindiza zase-US. Ngemva kwamahora amabili, izisebenzi zendiza kudingeka ukuthi zikunikeze ukudla, amanzi, izindlu zangasese ezisebenzayo kanye nokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha uma kudingeka. Ngemuva kokulibaziseka kwetiyela amahora amathathu, abagibeli kufanele banikezwe ithuba lokuhlehla. (Nakuba abagibeli abathola ukubambezeleka okunwetshiwe kwetiyela esikhumulweni sezindiza sangaphandle ngenkathi bendiza beya e-US bangase bavikelwe ekubambezelekeni okunwetshiwe kwetiyela ngemithetho yesinye isizwe, abavikelekile ekubambezelekeni kwetiyela okunwetshiwe ngumthetho wase-US.)
2: Uzoba nehhotela elihle elihlanganisiwe: Umbuzo wokuthi kufanele ukhokhele noma cha yini indawo yokuhlala ehhotela ongahleliwe kulandela ukuhamba kwendiza ephazamisekile kuyinto leyo ngisho nabavakashi abavamile abangaqiniseki ngayo. Eqinisweni, ngaphansi komthetho waseYurophu EC261, inkampani yezindiza kufanele inikeze abagibeli bezindiza zase-Europe izinto zokuhamba eziya ehhotela noma izindawo zabo zokulala, kanye nokuhlala ehhotela.
3: Uzonxeshezelwa ngomthwalo owonakele: Ziningi izinto ezingase zingahambi kahle uma kuza emthwalweni wakho. Ngakho-ke kuzoba umculo ezindlebeni zakho ukuzwa ukuthi kunomthethonqubo obizwa ngokuthi UMhlangano WaseMontreal lokho kukunikeza ilungelo lesinxephezelo sezezimali uma ipotimende lakho libambezeleka, lilahleka noma lonakale ngemva kokungena endizeni yakho. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhamba ngendiza e-US noma kwelinye lamazwe angu-120 agunyaze i-Montreal Convention, uma uhlangabezana nezinkinga zemithwalo ngenkathi usohambeni, ungase ube nelungelo lokunxeshezelwa. Ngaphansi kwemithetho yamalungelo abagibeli basemoyeni yase-US kanye ne-Montreal Convention, isinxephezelo esiphezulu esivela kunkampani yezindiza ngomthwalo ohloliwe olahlekile noma owonakele ngu-$1,525 - $3,500. Uma umthwalo wakho wonakele, qiniseka ukuthi uthumela umbiko zingakapheli izinsuku ezingu-7, futhi izikhalazo zomthwalo obambezelekile kufanele zifakwe phakathi kwezinsuku ezingu-21. Umthwalo ongafiki phakathi kwezinsuku ezingu-21 uthathwa njengolahlekile – ngemva kwalesi sikhathi asikho isikhathi esinqunyiwe sezikhalazo. Qiniseka ukuthi uhlale ubambelele kumarisidi akho, ngoba ungakwazi ukubuyiselwa nganoma yini elahlekile noma emoshekile obuyidinga ukuze uthole ithiphu yakho. Isibonelo, uma kufanele uthenge isudi yomhlangano obalulekile, ungathola imbuyiselo yesudi ukuze ukwazi ukuyishintsha.
4: Ungamshiyi uFido ekhaya: Abathandi bezilwane akudingeki beqe amaholide abo, inqobo nje uma bezenza bajwayele imithetho yezilwane ezifuywayo zezinkampani zezindiza. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu uma kubhekwa izinhlekelele zakamuva. Uma ufisa ukuhamba nomngane wakho omkhulu onoboya, sikweluleka ukuthi ucwaninge imithetho yenkampani yezindiza. Isibonelo, ezinye izindiza zivumela kuphela usizo noma izinja eziqondisayo ukuthi zihambe ekhabetheni. Abanye basekela izidladla zabo kusayizi nesisindo sesilwane sakho esifuywayo, kanye nezilinganiso zenkampani yenethiwekhi. Lapho wenza isinqumo sokuthi uzoletha isilwane sakho, kufanele ucabangele: ubukhulu besilwane sakho; umthwali wesilwane esifuywayo; izimali zokuthwala izilwane ezifuywayo/izinja; isimo sengqondo somngane wakho onemilenze emine; kanye nokutholakala kwendawo yomgqomo ongaphezulu wenkampani yezindiza.
5: Uyophindisela ukulimala kwakho: Uma uhlushwa uhlobo oluthile lokulimala ngenkathi usendizeni, unelungelo lokunxeshezelwa ngokwezimali. Ngenxa yokuguqulwa kumthethonqubo wamazwe ngamazwe, i-Montreal Convention, ungakwazi manje ukuthola imali efika ku-$138,000. Kuyafaneleka futhi ukwazi ukuthi uma icala lakho lidinga izinyathelo zomthetho, ungase ukwazi ukuliyisa enkantolo ezweni lakini, uma inkampani yezindiza isebenzisa izindiza lapho.
6: Uzosiza abanye abagibeli: Kwenzeka ngaso sonke isikhathi kuma-movie: umgibeli uhlaselwa yinhliziyo, abasebenzi bayabuza ukuthi "ingabe ukhona udokotela ogibele?" kanye noGeorge Clooney bayangena ukuze bonge usuku. Kodwa kuthiwani uma ukuphuthuma kwezokwelapha kwenzeka ekuphileni kwangempela? Kuhle ukwazi ukuthi unelungelo lokusiza, okusho ukuthi noma ungeyena udokotela, ungakwazi ukusiza omunye umgibeli oswele, futhi uvikelwe ngokusemthethweni uma wenza njalo.
7: Uzongena endizeni: Ukuthengisa amathikithi endiza amaningi kunezihlalo ezitholakalayo kuwumkhuba ovamile embonini yezindiza, ngezinye izikhathi okuholela ekutheni abagibeli banqatshelwe ukugibela, nakuba befika esangweni ngesikhathi futhi sebelungele ukugibela indiza. Njengoba lesi kuyisimo esikhungathekisa kakhulu, inkampani yezindiza ayikwazi ukukuthembisa ivawusha yokudla njengenduduzo. Uma ushaywe kanzima, futhi ungavolontiya ukudiliza noma ukuthatha enye indiza, ungafaneleka ukuthola isinxephezelo esingafika ku-$1,350, kuye ngevelu yemali yokugibela ithikithi lakho nokubambezeleka kokugcina ekufikeni endaweni oya kuyo yokugcina. Uma undiza ngaphakathi e-US futhi ufakwa endizeni efika phakathi nehora elingu-1 – 2 lokufika kwakho okuhleliwe, unganxeshezelwa ngo-200% wemali yohambo lwakho lwethikithi lokuya kuphela efika ku-$675. Uma ukubambezeleka kungaphezu kwamahora angu-2 endizeni yasekhaya, ungafuna kufikela ku-$1,350. Uma uya phesheya, futhi ukubambezeleka kwendawo oya kuyo uma kuqhathaniswa nendiza yakho yokuqala kuphakathi kwamahora angu-1 – 4, ungathola isinxephezelo esingu-200% wemali yakho yendlela eyodwa efika ku-$675. Ngokubambezeleka okungaphezu kwamahora angu-4, ungase ube nelungelo lokuthola u-400% wemali yendlela eyodwa efika ku-$1,350.
8: Uyophathwa ngokulinganayo: Uma unokukhubazeka, uhlangabezana nemithwalo eminingi nehlukene lapho uhlela uhambo lwakho. Ikakhulukazi ngenxa yalokhu, akekho umuntu okufanele avunyelwe ukubeka izithiyo eziningi endleleni yakho. Ngakho-ke, ayikho inkampani yezindiza enganqaba ukukuhlalisa. Eqinisweni, bafunwa ngumthetho ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi izindawo zokuhlala ziyatholakala. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi I-Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), umthetho owenza kube semthethweni ukuthi izinkampani zezindiza zicwase abagibeli ngenxa yokukhubazeka kwabo. Izinkampani zezindiza nazo ziyadingeka ukuthi zinikeze abagibeli abakhubazekile izinhlobo eziningi zosizo, okuhlanganisa izihlalo zabakhubazekile noma olunye usizo oluqondisiwe ukuze bagibele, bahlehlise, noma baxhume kwenye indiza; usizo lwezindawo zokuhlala oluhlangabezana nezidingo zabagibeli ezihlobene nokukhubazeka; kanye nosizo lokulayisha nokufaka izinto ezisizayo.
9: Uyokhalaza: Ukuhamba ngendiza bekuyilungelo eliwubukhazikhazi, kodwa sekuyinto evamile njengokugibela isitimela. Nokho, lapho izinto zingahambi kahle futhi nohambo luphazamiseka, abagibeli abavamile ukukhononda noma bafune isinxephezelo ngobunzima abadlule kubo. Isizathu esikhulu salokhu ukuthi ngaphezu kuka-90% wabahambi base-US abakawazi amalungelo abo njengabagibeli bezindiza. Ngaphandle kwelungelo lakho lesinxephezelo, ungakwazi njalo ukukhononda uma inkampani yezindiza ingafezi isevisi eyithembisile - abanye bangase bathathe impendulo yakho ngokungathi sína futhi bazame ukuthuthukisa isevisi yabo.
10: Uyonxeshezelwa: Uma usendizeni oya noma usuka e-Europe, futhi ufika endaweni oya kuyo nokubambezeleka okungaphezu kwamahora angu-3, ungase ufaneleke ukuthi ufake isicelo sokunxeshezelwa. Inqobo nje uma indiza yakho ingabambezeleki ngenxa “yezimo ezingavamile” njengesimo sezulu, ubushokobezi, imikhawulo yokulawulwa kwethrafikhi yezindiza, noma iziyaluyalu zezombangazwe, ungase ufune imali efikela ku-$700 enkampanini yezindiza ngaphansi komthetho waseYurophu EC 261, ohlanganisa abagibeli ezimeni lapho ukuphazamiseka kuyiphutha lenkampani yezindiza, futhi isikhumulo sezindiza sokusuka singaphakathi kwe-EU noma inkampani yezindiza izinze e-EU futhi indiza ihlala e-EU. Uma ungenaso isikhathi sokufaka isimangalo ngaso leso sikhathi, ungakhathazeki, njengoba usalelwe iminyaka emithathu yokufaka isicelo sokunxeshezelwa. Thola Izindiza kanye ne-AirHelp inikeza isheke lokufaneleka lamahhala nge- iwebhusayithi noma iskena sephasi yokugibela ehlanganiswe nohlelo lokusebenza, ukuze uhlole ukuthi uyakweletwa yini usasesangweni.
