I could clearly see some sections had an open seat in the row but I was not permitted to change seats to have a functioning AC vent
My plane experienced a 2-hour delay last weekend, holding me up on my travels and already making me quite miserable. The lobby of the airline was crowded, the food was terrible, the bathrooms were disgusting, and the seats were uncomfortable. The heating in the building also left something to be desired, with that something being actual moderate air. Their Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C either wasn’t absolutely effective or wasn’t set to run high enough to matter. Travelling is stressful enough already, thanks to the conditions of the airlines and the fear of delays, layovers, and cancellations, and I was highly miserable by the whole experience! When the plane I was waiting for finally arrived I was among the last to be boarded because of my ticket number and was localed in the absolutely end of the tail part of the plane; Unlike the lobby, the airplane was rather warm, so I attempted to redirect the vent above me to blow the cool air directly on me, however nothing happened. The slots of the vent were open and yet no air was blowing out, and briefly passing my hand over the vent beside me proved the air was on, however i got ahold of a flight attendant to request a seat with a functioning air conditioning vent however she couldn’t move. I could clearly see some sections had an open seat in the row but I was not permitted to change seats to have a functioning AC vent. The best they could offer, which reflects rather poorly on them in my opinion, was a miniature cup of ice water. I was left to do my best putting up with everything until I managed to fall asleep. I’ll be looking for a better airline next time because the inconveniences I faced were too ridiculous to let slide.
