Merpati

Description: Country: Indonesia

Newest Review: ... but this for the same amount of money. I simply call this “cheating customers”: Merpati offers a certain quality (Fokker 28) for a certain fare (Rp 721.000), but after having paid, the passenger realises that he has been seated in an “air-bemo”. Delays of more than 4 hours or even cancelled flights are the rule. Besides of that, an absolute rude and impolite ground staff (namely a Ms Rit) at ... more
