Awọn ọjọ wa nigbati a nilo lati mọ Ọlọrun loye awọn ifiyesi wa – especially when it comes to taking care of aged parents. My wife and I encountered two unexpected surprises.
29/June/2015. Iyawo mi nilo lati gba lati Sydney lori ohun sẹyìn flight ni awọn gan kẹhin iseju. Mo ni lati yi ilọkuro rẹ flight ojo kan sẹyìn láti 1 Keje si 30 June. The ticket was a simple lowest cost economy class that was originally booked in April. I requested for the change less than 36 wakati ṣaaju ki ilọkuro. Get this. Mo ni a ijoko, but here’s the amazing thing…I also got a $7.90 ìdápadà. I can understand we have to pay a changing fee (eyi ti mo ti ṣe) but I got a shock of my life when I received a refund from Qantas Airways. Mo ti ko konge ohun àpẹẹrẹ ibi ti mo ti ni a fun ìdápadà iyipada ofurufu!
Kini ki significant nipa sunmọ ni kekere kan $7.90 ìdápadà? Nla ti yio se ọtun? Well it was a big deal. Iyawo mi ti a se eto akọkọ lati lọ si Sydney lori 1 July lati lọ ebi kan igbeyawo. An unexpected incident happened where her mum suddenly suffered a stroke, and my wife had to rush to see her before 1 Keje. Awọn kikorò-dun ni imolara ti lọ si iranlowo ti a fẹràn kan, ki o si ṣe ayẹyẹ kan igbeyawo ni kanna ọsẹ wà nira.
27/Jul/2015. My wife was now back in Singapore. My wife planned to go back to Sydney to see her mum and family again. Her desire was to go on 3 Oṣù. Flights to Sydney were very expensive at this time of the year. I had been monitoring the airfare on Scoot, Qantas, Singapore Airlines over 2 ọsẹ. All expensive. Using my Singapore Airlines frequent flyer points to redeem a seat on the cheapest Economy Saver class at the end of July/early Aug was extremely difficult, to say the least. Frequent flyer seats were available, but they were on a higher class.
On that morning, I logged in to the Singapore Airlines website. What were the chances of getting a Economy Saver seat to Sydney on 3 Oṣù? I proceeded to check. Lati mi amazement … lo and behold, there was one available seat at the 8:15pm flight using the Economy Saver class on the 3 August to Sydney. Just one. This was just one week before departure and God provided that one seat needed. I was very encouraged because it is very difficult to redeem frequent flyer seats in general 1 week before departure! I quickly booked the seat. The flight on the A380 was nearly completely full as I was selecting seats for my wife. Once that was done, I checked the Singapore Airlines website, and there were no more Saver seats. 3 days later, I rechecked and basically all the Saver, Standard seats were gone (see below).
Orin Dafidi 18:6 wí pé, "Ninu ipọnju mi emi ke pe Oluwa, Mo si kigbe si Ọlọrun mi fun iranlọwọ. Lati tempili rẹ ti o gbọ ohùn mi; igbe mi wá niwaju rẹ, sinu rẹ etí ". Awọn $7.90 refund and the ability to get a Saver class seat on the exact day we wanted to go, one week before departure helped my faith fly. Ẹkọ kẹkọọ: Pray to God for help when you need it. Olorun le dahun o ni awọn julọ airotẹlẹ ọna.
