Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mombasa county governor Hassan Joho on Friday, May 21 caused a stir when he opted to air out his grievances with a local airline after he missed his flight.<\/p>\n

Taking to social media, the county head expressed his dissatisfaction with the service after he was unable to commute to Nairobi.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the airline explained that the Governor was not allowed to board the plane for showing up late to the check-in counter.<\/p>\n

“Our scheduled flight from Vipingo Ridge, to Nairobi, departs at 4: 00 p.m., and the check-in counters close 30 minutes before the flight departs.<\/p>\n

“We understand you arrived at Vipingo Airstrip at 4:04 p.m. which is part of the departure time. As a premier airline, we offer an on-time service for all our flights. We also need to respect our other customers who were on time and onboard,” the airline responded.<\/p>\n

The airline added that even though the governor had not registered his complaint with them, they were willing to rebook him on a different flight.<\/p>\n

“It is unfortunate that you were unable to make our flight on time but we are happy to rebook your ticket to another date without penalties,” the airline service noted.<\/p>\n

Airport rules dictate that passengers on domestic flights produce some acceptable form of identification at check-in.<\/p>\n

They are required to check-in at least one and a half hours (irrespective of class of travel) with counters closing 30 minutes to departure.<\/p>\n

Many airlines have adopted an online check-in system that allows one to jump the long queues at selected airports and choose their preferred seat.<\/p>\n

At the airport, one only needs to drop off their luggage at the dedicated online check-in drop-off point and proceed to the boarding gate.<\/p>\n

Pre-boarding is for passengers who require extra assistance for example wheelchair users and those with children under two years.<\/p>\n

If one wishes to use the pre-boarding service, they should contact the boarding gate staff in advance but the service may not be available in some cases depending on flight status or for other reasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
