You recently went on a business trip to another country and you faced an issue at the airport. Write a letter to the airport management and include ● what the details of your flight were. ● what the problem at the airport was. ● some suggestions for improvement. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service at your
airport
. I was flying from Tan Son Nhat Airport
in Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang on the 23rd of October 2015 with my wife and child. We arrived a full three hours before the flight to be sure of catching the flight on time.
I must say that your staff’s control of customers in the airport
, particularly queuing, is appalling. People
were freely jumping the queue, and both the check-in staff and the security staff did nothing to prevent them or to restore order when arguments broke out between passengers about this
issue.
I would like to suggest that you put proper barriers up that show people
the correct way to form a line and also
train your staff to tell people
when they are breaking the rules. I know it is not in your culture to scold people
, but international standards must be maintained in an international airport
.
I look forward to hearing your response.
Yours faithfully,
Chris PellSubmitted by majumdarnilesh21 on
