as Lion Air ("We make people fly")and its Sister airline Wings ("We make flying cheap") have turned delayed flights into an ART FORM.
They have over-utilised their fleet to the point where they try to squeeze extra sectors into their schedules which inevitably mean protracted delays, particularly at the end of each day.
Hopefully legislation may cause them to amend their ways - if not, compensation could mean cancellation of a couple of the additional 60+ Boeing 737-900ER's which they just ordered at Singapore Air Show.
Having said that, am off to Bali tomorrow (until 2nd March) to attend the 2008 Food, Hotel and Tourism Expo - first time since last August so really looking-forward to catching-up with old friends - and flying Garuda Indonesia - definitely NOT Lion Air both ways!
Cheers
