Thumbs down pasajeros se quejan de no recivir equipaje "spanish article"

Cientos de pasajeros procedentes de Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico continuaban esta mañana reclamando en los mostradores de varias aerolíneas la entrega de sus equipajes que llevan más de dos semanas rezagados en los puntos de embarque.
Entre los viajeros figuran turistas y criollos que vinieran al país para festejar con familiares y amigos las festividades de Navidad y Año Nuevo, pero llevan más de dos semanas y no le han hecho entrega de sus maletas.
Las aerolíneas que presentan retrasos en la entrega de equipajes son American Airlines, Aeromar, Continental, Air Santo Domingo y American Eagle, que conectan a Santo Domingo con Miami, Nueva York y San Juan Puerto Rico, desde la terminal de Las Américas.
Dulce Altagracia Moquete, Miguel Amparo Hernández y Maribel Trinidad Encarnación, quienes llegaron al país en vuelos separados procedentes de Puerto Rico y Nueva York, denunciaron que desde hace dos semanas están viajando diariamente al AILA en procura de sus maletas pero el personal de las aerolíneas le dice que vuelvan al día siguiente.
Dijeron, además, que en esos equipajes se encuentran sus pertenencias, la ropa de sus hijos que viven en el país y varios regalos para la familia ‘‘Mi hermana y yo embarcamos tres maletas y un bulto en el vuelo 903 de Aeromar y sólo nos llegó una maleta y tenemos ya más de 10 días dando viajes’’, sostuvo la señora Altagracia Moquete.
De su lado, el Consorcio Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (AERODOM) y las diferentes compañías aéreas que operan rutas desde esta terminal, habilitaron un área para depositar el equipaje rezagado.
Asimismo, las autoridades de la Dirección General de Aduanas en el AILA instalaron un personal en la referida área para verificar las maletas y dar las facilidades de lugar

Post pasajeros sex quejan

Tipicamente normarl en todo latinoamerica.

Muchas aerolineas optamos por rentar un avion de carga para mover equipajes y cargo.


Feliz navidad para todos.

This surprises me, since Continental switched from a 737 to a 757 out of Newark to alleviate this problem several years ago. It looks like the problem is back. There is some info in the archives about this practice.

CO still flts a 737 800 series on one of its flights to SDQ, so you will still get weight embargos in hot weather

I didn't know anything of flying a 767, though it is a very profitable route, i don't see filling that "tank" and from experience, turnaround time will be horrible with the ensuing boarding problems at Newark

Thumbs up Continental

Continental Airlines has some years 2 daily flights on the route Newark - Santo Domingo in B757-200 and B737-800 in the night.

Continetal has upgraded the B757 flight to a B767-400ER for the high season.

But they have announced that the B767-400ER will stay on this route and will be 1 daily flight on B767-400ER.

Why? Ther is not enough space/gates at Santo Domingo Las Americas Airport, For more aircrafts thats 1 Big B767-400 on this route.

Also USA 3000 Airlines have 2 to 3 weekly flights on this route Newark - Santo Domingo.

That going to cause a lot of travel problems, that 767 leaves at 08:55 and almost none of the feeders can get a legal connection. CO is still going to fly the 737 through at least march, on the evening departure

Default Thats right

But we cant find a second flight, Continental need to add a second flight or change the departure time from Newark to 16:00
But their is a night flight from Newark operated by USA3000 Airllines but only 3 flights a week.

The Boeing 767-400ER will be deleted on this route on a later stage and will be changed to the old schedule

Morning : B757-200
Night: B737-800

Default Part of the "Problem" rest with the Dominican passengers!

They are told that there is a baggage restriction in force when they book.They still show up with "Extra" and overweight bags! Then they blame the airlines! Typical! CRIS
