Last evening I departed from Abuja, Nigeria for a night flight to Amsterdam with a landing in Kanu.
Right after departure the senior purser and one flight attendant got into a fight! They were arguing a lot and they could not solve the issue.
Eventually they continued their work so the passengers would not notice anything and at the airport they would continue the discussion.
But another colleague had a cold and was pretty sick. During the descend in Kanu, she had problems with the air pressure. She almost
cried of pain in her head because of the pressure changes and she almost fainted during the approach.
She took good medication and could continue to Amsterdam (we didn't want to leave her in Nigeria all by herself).
After take-off from Kanu, the passenger who was sitting in front of me started to talk to me. He said he was pretty nervous about flying
because of a scary experience in the past. He said: If the plane just starts shaking I just want to get out, I feel like jumping out! (He was
seated at the overwing exits of the A330!!). And did I tell you that this was a BIG african football player? We gave him Valeriaan to be calm
and reseated him to the center of the cabin, away from the doors.
In the meanwhile, the assistant purser was addresses by a passenger who had a problem as well. His driver brought him to the airport
of Kanu and this passenger received the message that his driver was shot and killed right after he delivered that passenger at the airport.
He wanted to make a phonecall, but he didn't have a credit card! Using the cell phone has no use, as there isn't any network available on
that altitude.
Finally during this night flight I was alone in the galley, reading a newspaper when a passenger entered my galley and just fall down on a
chair. I asked him:' Are you okay?'
Well, he wasn't. He was dizzy, had stomache ache and was about to faint as well. I quickly got the oxygen bottle and called colleagues for
assistance.
The passengers was feeling ok, pretty quickly. We gave him some medication for his stomach.
I'm a bit tired now.
Anastasios.
