Sometimes, it’s due to bad weather conditions, plane mechanic problems and other objective reasons. Sometimes, the flights are delayed for no reason (the airlines don’t tell the passengers why the flights are delayed). Whatever reasons are given, Chinese passengers become irritated and take extreme actions. Some destroy the check-in counters. Some even run to the runway to stop the plane. What do the airlines do? Many Chinese airlines don’t handle flight delays properly. They don’t tell the truth to the passengers immediately and can’t do their best to take care of the passengers. Perhaps, they are afraid of the furious passengers. In fact, the stewards, pilots and other crews are worried about the flight delays too. Look at these two stewards! They are praying the flight can depart and arrive on time. But I don’t know which God they are praying to.

When the flight delays happen, they should inform the passengers immediately and tell them why their plane is delayed. If the plane was delayed too long, they should provide food and accommodation to the passengers. If they can treat the passengers fairly well, the passengers won't take extreme actions.

Usually when I travel, I would find flight that has transit for more than 8 hours then I would have a choice, to stay in the hotel provided by the airlines or go out and visit the city. Wan

My colleague who travels a lot by air told me that she bought an insurance every time when she bought the air ticket. If the plane is delayed too long, she will be compensated with a certain amount of money.

When I flew to Yiwu from Shenzhen, there was a 2-hour delay, and then also a transit in Xiamen. A few days ago was also a delay for my flight from Guangzhou to Xianyang. Funny thing is they can provide excuse such as due to air traffic control, etc. and passengers have to accept. Wan

The air traffic control excuse will not work. Wan, You may not know that some officials even have the privilege to let all the passengers wait for him.

Wan,

Unfortunately, some people do overstate themselves. They don't have such a privilege but they insist on enjoy the priority.

A girl just wreaked havoc at Baiyun Airport not long ago. She didn't follow the instructions to pass the checkpoint and then she was refused to board the plane. She screamed "If I have an accident here, the governor of Guangdong Province and the mayor of Guangzhou city will definitely be replaced." At last, she was taken away by the security men at the airport.
