Sat in office thinking of how best I can use this mamaJz especially for my children at home. I think I will use it to keep my children informed and updated on certain issues. Issues like how to handle annoying people, how to remain composed when deep inside you need to shout out loud, and so many other hows and whys.

I do hope it works out.       

Its 2012, approximately four years since I last published on my own site! Time can really run...Hullo everybody and welcome back. Let's go back to reading our posts. Karibu

Business or Economy?

I had a terrible experience with one friend who wanted to travel to Kilimanjaro for the weekend but her travel agents had erroneously booked her into Economy instead of the usual first class/business class that she normally travels. Kilimanjaro is about 1 hour's flight from Entebbe right?


The Good Samaritan I am, I offered to drop her off at the airport. Upon reaching the airport, I asked her whether she had her ticket, passport and all the necessary baggage she needed for this trip and she confirmed she had everything.


I asked her to check her ticket before we got to the check-in counter, when she gave a small exclamation....!

She had been booked in Economy class.

"I cannot travel economy, I just can't!" she insisted.

"Well at least you will all get to Kili.." I told her "Just for this once travel economy then you can sort out your return on the way back. After all, it's hardly an hour's flight and there's not much of a big deal" I continued.

"I am entitled to a business class seat and so I have to get one today... someone is going to pay for this," she replied

Personally I found nothing wrong with her taking the economy class seat/ticket and enjoying her one hour flight to Kilimanjaro. As a matter of fact, the flight itself was not so full so if she can sweet talk the Purser on board the aircraft to upgrade her to business that would also help.

Alas, my dear friend did not share the same thoughts and insisted on a business class seat. I could only see a spoilt brat in her. I quickly said my goodbyes and drove off.

Thinking about it, when it comes to going to Heaven to meet the Big One, will she have the choice of a business class seat?
