Review of emirates

Emirates discriminate against packaged…

Emirates discriminate against packaged tour passengersSeveral records were broken for me as a flight passenger on Emirates in 2 days. First I was separated from my wife of 35 years and then despite my plea of a stiff shoulder I was given a window seat in all my 42 years of flying.Emirates seem to treat its tour group passengers as 2nd class passengers without any rights.My wife and I flew to Spain and Portugal from Singapore on a packaged tour with a travel group. On our return flights first from Madrid to Dubai on EK142 on 9 Oct 2023 and from Dubai to Singapore on EK 354 on 10 Oct 2023, my wife and I were placed on window seats on the opposite sides of the aircraft. When I enquired at the check in counter for an aisle seat for the 2 flights as I am a tall bloke with a stiff shoulder (which has been affecting me for the past 5 years), the staff gave me an aisle seat further back and my wife in a window seat 6 rows ahead. She said she tried but could not see the connecting flight seating plan from Dubai to Singapore and advised me to approach the boarding gate in Dubai for help. When we reached Dubai, the tour manager, my wife and I, another another couple who had been in opposite ends of the aircraft made a beeline for the connecting help desk close to B18 boarding gate.The guard refused to let us into the queue even though there was no one queuing and the 2 counter staff were helping a couple of the passengers at the counter. He told us to use the self-help kiosk computer even though we said we needed help with changing the seats. The computer did not do the latter and directed back to the counter. The guard was still reluctant and finally allowed my wife and I in the queue. However, our tour manager and the couple were kept outside the line even though they had legitimate business to speak to someone at the counter. There was a couple talking to a group of the staff outside the counter near the queue and the man was gesticulating wildly in a heated discussion with the staff. Eventually one of the staff involved in the 'conversation' told the guard to admit all of us and 'royally allowed' us to talk to him behind the counter. He told us in no uncertain terms that we were given our seats as 'non-paying' passengers and it was tough luck that we had to be separated. Our tour manager protested that the tour passenger list with familial/partnering connections was given to the airline beforehand but he said we were given a block of seats from rows 81 to 83 and he could not help in any way. My question to the airline is this: if the passenger list has been provided with the different familial/partnering groupings could it not be more accommodating and doing a slipshod job of seating willy nilly without regard for the families and couples travelling together. What happens if there are families with young children? Furthermore if the airline has given a block of seats (say rows 61 to 63 or 81 to 83 and not all window seats or not all middle seats) in advance why can't it have the good sense to pass them on the tour manager beforehand so the tour manager can help to allocate the seats according to the passengers' preference and needs? Even in times of profit squeeze when corporations try to extract every cent from its passengers, how much money can you make to justify discriminating/alienating your passengers just because the 25 of them are travelling as part of a package tour? Would it make more sense to block up say 3 rows of seats when the tour company has booked and confirmed with the airline if the tour is going ahead (package tours are usually confirmed 2 weeks ahead of departure). Why make packaged tour passengers scramble for seats and create all that unhappiness for them against the airline?I am really disappointed with Emirates as I used to fly Emirates between Australia and Singapore. As much I deem its cabin crew to be on par with the best in the industry, its booking and check in handling do leave such a bad taste that I feel like a sub passenger to want to boycott the airline.

It is important to be cautious and skeptical when dealing with these individuals

This emphasizes the importance of being alert and reporting any unusual or suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities. By taking swift action, serious consequences, such as severe burns, can be avoided. It is crucial to always prioritize safety and be proactive in preventing potential dangers.

Review of booking

Don’t use booking.com

It is horrible having to deal with the agents working for booking.com a group of incompetent, entitled and poorly trained employees who give you a hard time for absolutely no reason. I have had to consistently ask them for a refund and they have taken all the possible time to return the money. Don’t use this app/company is pure trash. Refunds are not being taken seriously, agents are rude and after waiting for 40 minutes on the phone, an ignorant lady with broken English hangs up my call like my time is worth NOTHING. If I could I would give 0 stars to such a pathetic costumer service. It’s been a month calendar since I processed the cancellation under “free cancellation” policy and look at where we’re at now. Yikes

Complete waste of time complaining to this crew if you are an individual. They are only interested in going after large bodies where big fines can be imposed, would be my guess. The rights of individuals will not be upheld and companies probably know this. Not fit for purpose. And there should be the option to give zero stars on Trustpilot.

Review of disneyplus

Wokism

Hello, I am writing this email to counter the ideas received about regulation, vaccines, racism, wokism. Indeed, I like to watch marvel and star wars films at the cinema and on disney more, unfortunately in your series and films there are more and more ideological shortcuts which are often unfounded. You are going to tell me that it is important in a democracy that everyone gives their opinion to raise the debate, but that you need facts to have an opinion. It is for this reason that I took 1 hour of my time to collect articles to justify what I think of these subjects.Don't worry, the words in the links are in French, but when you click on them, it translates them into English.sentence heard in falcon and the winter soldier at the bank when the loan was refused: "it always gets complicated for black people."correction: regardless of skin color, the banker receives the order not to lend money if the customer does not have a certain amount of money in his account. It would have been the same with a white man who has no money because a bank is profitable only if they are sure to be paid.phrase heard in marvel: "if you're black, you don't have the same jobs"correction: the United States has made enormous progress on the integration of minorities. Indeed, on the bus, at the cinema, at work, we are all together. The CEO of google was born in India for example. This is allowed thanks to capitalism, indeed, if your baker is racist you can go to another, if you work regardless of your origins you will end up having the job that suits you. Treatment of conspiracy:Conspiracy theories are not necessarily true, but we cannot be sure that they are false.Indeed, governments around the world have so often lied that you can't blame some people for going with certain theories.Examples of conspiracy: the state hid the harmfulness of tobacco for 40 years. They also deliberately lied about other things to reduce costs or to protect an industry: asbestos, deaths in France because of the contaminated blood affair (hidden for 20 years by the French government used the blood of those who had AIDS to give them to operating theaters), h1n (the French senate proved that sanitary measures were useless), the mad cow affair (the united kingdom fed cows with corpses to reduce costs , there were deaths)...I will continue to see your movies only if you remove the wokism and choose the best actors (no matter their skin color), but don't put quotas(we want so many blacks...) because the movie will be bad.Otherwise I won't give you another cent. Why is it that the marvel movies from the beginning to the endgame are good and then they go bad? The role of a good company manager is to say, this year what didn't work? to improve the service or the product.Stop with the equal opportunities and redistribution. All the public services are in a lamentable state compared to where it is delegated to the private sector. The State invests in profitable projects, it will not take out the check so that everyone has the same salary.

Review of healthcare

I can't afford the high taxes I have to…

I can't afford the high taxes I have to pay every year. Not sure if it's the economy or because of the pandemic that changed everything for me. I applied for Obama care through the Market place years ago and when I went to claim my taxes It was always affordable. After the pandemic I went to claim my taxes and was charged over $2,000 without understanding why except maybe this is the way the government is going to get all the money back they handed out during the pandemic. It could be that being charged $2,000 may not be much for those that make so much money a year but, your reading a story from someone that barely makes $16,000 yearly. Imagine that? So even though I qualify for healthcare through the Marketplace I cannot afford it! It's just so ridiculous! What's happened? My income has not changed. I was paying a lot less in taxes at one time. Was it the Pandemic? Or is it simply that the government has and is still failing us because with the new year approaching and new people taking office I simply just do not see it getting any better! My sympathies to anyone that is going through the same situation.
