Following up to this incident, I had ben told I would have to call the call center to get on the next flight. Upon waiting for it to open, I called and they told me there was no seat available on any plane in my category (economy) for the next 3 weeks! There were plenty of seat available in higher classes, even in business but they would not upgrade me.. Even though they admited it was their falte, they would not upgrade my seat and repair their mistake... They said I would need to go standby all the way to Brunei and show up every flight untill I can go on a flight, which could also occur extra charges! This in unbeleivable... they acknowledge it was their falte, however they dont want to upgrade me to repair their mistake.. Letting me having to wait 3 weeks for a seat... With NO compensation.
Adding to the curse, As I told them I was in the process of complaining about this whole situation, the lady at the contact desk of Royal Air Brunei in Bangkok would not provide me her name and would hang up the phone! I would call back, and she refused each time, hanging up the phone a total of 6 times! Unacceptable. I later learn from the check in desk that her name was SUCHADA, and called to make sure it was her.. In fact, it was... At first another staff answered and said she "was at the toilet"... (very professional)... I called again later, I confirmed it was her, She even hung up again...
I showed up to the check in at the airport on march 5th, to see i I could get on stand by, and again, this time I was told I could go to Brunei on this flight, but I would not have a seat in Brunei to Manila and I had to pay for all expenses and accomodation for all the days I had to wait on standby in Brunei, that it could take up to 3 weeks... This is ridiculous, I was not going to board this place. I Told them I would ask for refund, and would continue with the complaint over all they have put me through! I have overall lost over 700$ in expenses in this case!
They said I will get refund for this, even though I have to go do it myself through travelcity... But anyway, I want justice over this, they have had the most unprofessional attitude and this can not go without notice! Other travellers will face they unprofessionalism and will go through hell because of them, so will make sure who has been responsible for this get what they deserve, I dont think royal air Brunei wants their reputation ruined by the attitude of their staff at Bangkok Airport.
