Tell us about your tragic experience of plane delays?

Every year during the Chinese New Year, there are always a few days of bad weather, resulting in the delay of the plane, according to their eagerness to go home, dragging the suitcase outside the drift, waiting for the time of the plane to take off, and telling their parents to be late, so that they can rest assured that this time is the most uncomfortable.

In June last year, I flew from Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province to Shenzhen, because it was the rainy season, and the sudden weather made the plane make a forced landing in Hefei shortly after takeoff, which was originally a flight of about 5 hours and flew out for 12 hours, and finally got the airline's compensation, 1000 air tickets, but what is the use of this, I missed the best time to keep my girlfriend abroad.

I wanted to fly to Beijing before, but then the plane was delayed, and I wanted to run errands, but it was over, and I couldn't do anything.

It's a business trip. Then I booked a point to another city's company, and then the ticket I bought happened to be the kind of pinch, who knew that the plane was late. Then I was late when I got there and was criticized.

I think the flight delay is a very sad thing in my opinion, because it not only wastes a lot of time, but also makes me wait for a long time, it is very long, it is very lonely, so I think the flight delay is very sad.

I once flew home and needed to rush home because of something at home, but my flight was delayed, which caused me to not see my loved ones for the last time.

I remember going home for the New Year last year, and I could have taken off at three o'clock in the afternoon, but I don't know why, it was delayed until eight o'clock in the evening, and it was early in the morning when I got off the plane, and I was really unhappy at that time.

Catch the plane at half past seven, get to the airport at six o'clock, and don't fly until twelve o'clock....But if the plane is delayed or grounded, the staff doesn't count, right? No matter how helpless and angry we are, we will not speak ill of a woman or add punches and kicks to a woman! How to drop?

Are you awesome? What can you do? Are you happy after doing this?

The plane took off like a thunderbolt because of you?

The plane took off late because the plane was broken and needed to be repaired. Soon the passenger was told that it was time to board, and the passenger asked how it was so fast. Flight Attendant: We got a different pilot who dared to fly this plane.

I had planned the trip, and I had been waiting for a flight at the airport for a long time, and suddenly said that it was late, and I felt very uncomfortable and very unhappy.

Once a typhoon was coming, I waited at the airport for hours and told me that all the flights in the past few days had been cancelled, and I went home in disgrace.

Reasons for the delay of the plane:

1. Weather reasons: Bad climate often leads to delays in aircraft take-off, because complex weather often has uncertain factors and cannot ensure safety. Therefore, the plane cannot take off, which will cause delays.

2. Air traffic control.

There are thousands of planes flying in the sky every day, and they all fly on the specified civil aviation routes, and when the number of planes is too large, the control tower needs to be controlled at zero hour. Delays or even cancellations.

3. If there is dangerous information, if there is a passenger joking or seriously saying that there is dangerous information on the plane (there are ** items and the like), the aircraft will feedback to the command tower to make corresponding instructions, resulting in a delay in take-off is certain and posture.

4. If an unknown object appears near the route, the aircraft will also stop or detour for safety reasons.

Yes. Anything that affects the safety of the aircraft will delay take-off until the hazard is removed. Even the phrase that there is a gun on the plane can cause delays.

5. Even if the plane takes off, if there are passengers who suddenly feel unwell, the plane is very likely to land nearby or return to the original route, causing the delay of the aircraft.

There are many reasons for flight delays, some of which are irresistible natural factors. It is worth noting that some human factors have become a "new growth point" for flight delays. According to statistics, flight delays due to passenger reasons account for 3% of irregular flights, which is almost the same as the number of delays caused by aircraft failures.

Generally speaking, an aircraft has to perform 6 to 10 domestic flights a day, and it has to fly in the sky for about 10 hours, plus the plane on the ground to get off passengers, cleaning, loading and unloading, routine inspection and other transit time, generally running for about 16 hours a day. The flight schedule of each aircraft is pre-scheduled, and there is not much room for manoeuvre. Any omission on the previous flight can trigger a chain reaction on subsequent flights, often with longer delays later on.

Airplanes are the same as cars, there are many reasons for delays, the most untrue thing I have ever heard is that the flight is cut in line, the airline shouts that it is the victim of the flight delay, and the factors that can control the delay are only 10%, and I don't know who is responsible.

I think the weather is the main reason for the flight delays. The simple four words "weather reasons" actually encompass many situations: the weather conditions at the airport of departure are not suitable for take-off; The weather conditions at the destination airport are not suitable for landing; The meteorological conditions on the flight route are not suitable for flying, etc.; The key meteorological factors affecting the weather are visibility, low clouds near the airport's take-off and landing paths, thunderstorm areas, strong crosswinds, and the weather in front of you is clear, but it is normal for flights to be delayed due to weather reasons.

Thunder (i.e. lightning), which is often the case when the plane is delayed in the summer. The plane can land in the pouring rain, but as long as there is a little lightning on the route, the plane will not dare to come down. There are many thundershowers in the summer, so planes are often delayed.

Many reasons, such as the weather, such as the plane failure, the weather is okay, the failure is unstable. Once the aircraft fails during the flight mission, the maintenance personnel should carry out the necessary inspections in accordance with the maintenance procedures, make judgments, analyze the fault phenomenon, find the source of the fault, and then carry out the corresponding troubleshooting work, such as replacing the faulty parts, etc., after the fault is eliminated, it is necessary to fill in the relevant maintenance records, and may also have to carry out certain test work to determine whether it is repaired. The whole troubleshooting process takes a certain amount of time, even if it is a small fault, there must be a strict set of maintenance and inspection procedures to do, which are to ensure flight safety.

Blocking planes, planes piled up to fly to the airport, and the airport can land a limited number of flights per hour, so the last arrivals have to be blocked in the sky. Similarly, if there are many planes to land, it will also affect the ground take-off, so there will be many planes waiting to take off on the taxiway on the ground.

Qingdao to Harbin, a flight at 7 o'clock in the morning. I woke up at four o'clock and saw the white fog outside, and I thought I was going to be late today. But as a person who lives by the sea, the fog is too common, and the sun is gone as soon as it comes out, so it doesn't delay things.

I drove to the airport at half past four on the road with visibility less than a few dozen meters, and as soon as I passed through the tunnel, there was no fog, and I thought that there was no problem. When I got to the airport, I got my boarding pass, and I said it was late to nine o'clock, and when I went to the boarding gate, I asked and said it was because of the weather. But at that time, the weather in Qingdao was already good, and the plane was flying out, so I asked again, saying that the plane did not come back the night before yesterday, and the fog was forced to land in Yantai, flying from Yantai at eight o'clock, and arriving in Qingdao at nine o'clock.

Okay, that's reasonable, two hours anyway, wait. At nine o'clock, everyone began to line up, and after waiting for twenty minutes, the notice was late to half past ten, because the weather in Yantai was not good. The crowd was a little commotion, and someone called ** to Yantai Airport, and Yantai Airport replied:

Everything works fine. Everyone is not doing it now, just go to find the ground ride, this guy is a talent, one person carries more than 100 people's questions, and righteously says that it is the weather reason. After everyone made a lot of noise, the airline brought a boxed lunch.

I guess I'm tired of the noise, so I'll eat first, and I'll be there at half past ten. At half past ten, everyone lined up again, the notice came again, the plane just flew out, and the plane boarded at half past eleven. At half past eleven, the plane landed, just outside, not allowed to get on, saying that the ticket was cleaned and checked.

Okay, clean and check, it's half past twelve. I didn't let it go, saying that it was time for the plane to be overhauled, and it had to be maintained today, and I waited for another two hours, to half past one. Everybody's already going to fight.

The staff also said that because of the order of take-off, wait another hour, take off at half past two, and I was so anxious about this trip that I had made up all the reasons for the delay of the plane.

1. Military reasons:

It is well known that the sky of our country belongs to the Air Force. When there are military exercises or general military training, the operation of civil aviation will be affected to a certain extent. National air defense security is above all else, and this is what every citizen should obey and understand.

2. Weather reasons:

Weather causes are the most common cause of flight delays. Moreover, the weather is not only rain, but also snow, fog and low visibility, route turbulence, route ice, and large-scale lightning cumulonimbus clouds are all important factors affecting the safe operation of civil aviation.

3. Reasons for air traffic control:

That is, the reason for air traffic control or flow control that everyone often hears. Similar to the traffic police directing ground traffic, our air traffic police, the air traffic controller, directs the safe take-off and landing of aircraft, and flow control accompanies any situation that may affect safe operation.

What to do if your flight is delayed:

1. Call the insurance company immediately

If you have insurance, whether it is a cancellation or delay, you should call the insurance company as soon as possible, keep the ticket for the flight cancellation delay, the airline's flight delay cancellation certificate, and apply to the insurance company with all receipts and information afterwards to pay for the flight delay.

2. Confirm whether there is any follow-up shift

In the unlikely event that a flight cancellation is announced, please check immediately if there is a follow-up schedule. If not, please go to the ticket office to see if you can change to another flight (changes are not limited to the same airline), remember! It's the ticket office, not the manager on duty counter!

3. Confirmation of subsequent flights

If you are sure that there is a follow-up flight, you must check with the airline about the time of the follow-up flight, whether there is any accommodation or compensation, etc. If there is no accommodation arrangement, the airline will generally give a certain amount of compensation, but not much.

What you don't know: Why are planes often delayed?

1. The reasons for flight delay are divided into airline reasons and non-airline reasons.

Common airline reasons: flight schedule, maintenance reasons, mechanical breakdowns, transportation services, crew, etc.

Common non-airline reasons: weather, emergencies, flow control, air traffic control.

Public safety, passenger reasons, etc. Wu Shen.

2. What should passengers do in case of delay?

1) Don't be late.

Flight delay cannot postpone check-in, because a late flight does not mean that the airport service is also late, and the check-in time will still be carried out according to the original plan. If you don't need to check in and have already checked in online, it's best to contact the airline staff to confirm if you can go late. In the absence of exact notice, it is advisable not to arrive late.

The estimated departure time of the aircraft and the dispatch of the airport, as well as the queue of the airline, are all related to the situation, so the flight dynamics are constantly changing and changing. Flights may be delayed due to weather conditions, or they may be changed earlier when the weather returns, which can cause a no-show if your itinerary can't keep up with the dynamics of your flights.

2) How to claim for delay.

According to the regulations, when the flight delay caused by the airline meets certain conditions, there will be corresponding economic compensation: in addition to the relevant provisions of the "Civil Aviation Rules for Domestic Transport of Passengers and Baggage of China", in addition to the service work under the condition of abnormal flights, passengers shall also be compensated according to the actual situation of different delay times such as flight delay of more than 4 hours (inclusive) and no more than 8 hours, delay of more than 8 hours (inclusive).

Financial compensation can take a variety of forms, and airlines should honor it in cash, ticket discounts, mileage and other means, according to and respect the passenger's own wishes and choices. Specific compensation methods and schemes are developed by each airline according to its own circumstances within this framework.

In this case, in addition to applying for a free refund and change, passengers can also negotiate with the airline to endorse them.

Flights to other carriers.

Delays or cancellations caused by non-airline reasons can usually only be rebooked on the original airline's flight free of charge, and the airline will not provide financial compensation.

There are five main reasons why aircraft are delayed:Air traffic control, weather conditions, airline reasons, airport reasons, mechanical breakdowns, etc.

Let's briefly popularize some background on each reason:

(1) Air traffic control

In my experience of flying over the years, flying to or from Beijing is the most common reason for delays. Some people wonder why the sky is infinitely vast, and why is the term air traffic popular. This kind of thinking is very unreasonable ha, becauseEvery flight has its own fixed route, and the number of planes in the air needs to be controlled.

For example, before the 100th anniversary, there were a lot of rehearsals in the air, and there were often delays for this reason during this period.

(2) Weather conditions

This situation is also quite common, and the delay of this situation is sometimes more dependent on luck. And there is,It is not that the plane will be delayed on a rainy day, but when there is a relatively strong convection, it will be delayed.

Because airplanes pass through the troposphere during take-off and landing, if the troposphere turbulence is too strong, the aircraft is prone to turbulence during take-off and landing. If you encounter super strong convection, it can lead to an air crash.

So in general,In summer, it is easy to be delayed due to weather conditions. But now aviation weather monitoring is still very powerful, and generally will not continue to make everyone wait after the take-off conditions are met.

(3) The airline's own reasons

This situation is relatively rare, because it is the airline's own problem, so the probability of delay in this case is relatively small. And, highlight the point:In the event of a delay in this case, you can find a claim from the airline

(4) Airport reasons

This probability is also not large, and it is generally airplaneWhat could have gone wrong with the runway, resulting in no way to glide or there may be uncontrollable factors in the gliding process. In this case, in order to ensure the safety of the taxiing process, the delay will also be notified. After the airport maintenance personnel have taken care of it, they can take off.

(5) Mechanical failure

This is a man-made reason, and generally it is necessary to wait for the maintenance personnel to deal with it before taking off. Some friends may be worried about whether there will be problems with the repaired plane flying in the air? The answer is to rest assured, the maintenance personnel on duty will not be able to go to the air traffic control bureau if their skills are not up to par.

The other thing isMechanical breakdowns are also claimable。But this is only theoretical, because the CAAC does not seem to have a detailed explanation of this claim standard and understands it.

Finally, what should I do if the plane is delayed? You tell me? People are knives, I am fish and meat, wait patiently.

Generally speaking, if the delay is not long, there will be no benefits. If there is a long delay, some meals may be given (although it is difficult to eat).
