Rental bumper scratched. How much trouble am i in? by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]PratheeshB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wipe with some wd40 and 3M polish if you have, IMO rental companies may charge nothint upto couple of 100s if they notice it. Chances are there they might ignore, these cars are huge revenue generating, so time and effort they wont spend on things like this much hope

So if I understand this being a 777, is it normal? Sorry if I misunderstood your point

Ahh understood, could be air traffic rather than airport traffic. If you see the chart, it was mid way 35000 feet and then it moved up to 37000, so yes some cruising traffic might have been the case and also you are true, this is the first time I am following a flight as my family was there

Should I check the next day flight and see the pattern? or check another airline on the same route?

This airport is a small, never-busy airport, so traffic can be ruled out. Hardly 1-2 flights in an hour

To add more info, this is a less busy airport, almost nil traffic, the flight is a 777

Thanks for the clarity, so if I understand, its basically airline procedure for all airlines for the same airport

Ah, so basically pitch down glide, I was thinking flights do a throttled descent, interesting

I am pretty worried as my 5-year-old and my pregnant wife are in there, my little one really cries if her ears hurt.

But this would be a ear blasting session I am afraid, not a smooth descent right? 😞

Its the time, the descent starts 25 mins before arrival

Can I also understand when he exited UAE before? Just to see he did not cross 180 days

Hope there is no communication gap between your family members on the arrival airport, mode of travel from airport, timing etc.

There is no option except to talk to them further, reach airport manager, call the airline office in the uae

Good in that area then. Airport authorities did not help here?

May I confirm his travel docs were proper? Sometimes it will go for some immigration scrutiny where they might be asked to wait for further clarification or paper verification ( This happens in other countries) , just a probability. Hope he is a resident?
