| service-based companies should be on the lookout |
i havent travelled much by plane since i got back from Europe and so all i know about how bad all these budget airline carriers are are from stories of friends and from whatever is trending on my feed. the few times i have flown on these budget airlines(in the Philippines), i really had no problems. i usually just charge it to experience if ever i do encounter anything and keep the story as a warning for other travelers i meet on the road for them to be on the lookout. usually, i am just on the lookout from the get-go like i always put extra sets of clothes on my handcarry luggage just in case the airline loses my checked in luggages, or that i am usually just game to explore the airport if ever my flight gets delayed and i need to sleep on the floor/luggage cart/conveyor belt. of course, i wouldn't say no to compensations from the airline. it's all about how you perceive things, i guess. this is another reason why i prefer to travel alone. not everyone is game to do the things i would do for travel.

| saw this sleeping girl in hk airport, i think i can travel with her |
anyway, i do realize that i am a very lax with letting all the comforts of home be taken from me while travelling and that there are those who travel for pleasure, business or for other more urgent reasons. the concerns of these travelers are finally protected by the new bill of rights of an air passenger! the passing of this bill also opened my eyes to my rights as a passenger which is essentially a good thing! haha
read more about the Air Passenger Bill of Rights here. This Bill of Rights is for the Philippine based carriers though and I am unaware of the other passenger rights outside of the country.
I am glad that this bill is finally passed which means more people can travel hassle-free! Let's hope for way cheaper travels in the future! Go and Wander, everyone! :)
Next thing to work on is the visa requirements for Filipinos! It still is a dream to just wake up and want to fly to Europe or some other continent without having to worry whether you have all the clearances needed.
