What is LCC (Low Cost Carrier), a low cost carrier is flying at a low cost or an airline that provides air fares at affordable prices by reducing some of the common services for passenger aircraft such as catering services, minimalist reservation so reduce the cost of flights and cost it can be reached by the public.
Weak aviation regulator to provide education to the consumer to make consumers Indonesian airlines be dumb since birth and in the end had to be self-taught learning itself, including choosing which airline to use. It's as if the impact of the Government , in this case the Directorate General of Civil Aviation Ministry of Transportation, not only as a regulator as instructed Law. 1 of 2009 on Aviation but also as an operator and "projector".
Consumer knowledge gap resulting in the high cost of public protests to airline operators, airport, ground handling, aviation security officers and so on. One of the frequent complaints by consumers is often scorching flight passenger tickets low cost airlines ( LCC ) for late check-in.
Often we read the consumer complaints since forfeited his ticket and must buy more if you still want to fly Readers Letters columns in various print media, cursed in social media and LCC airline websites, and so on for various reasons that it makes sense. So let us review a little the principles into consumer LCC flight.
LCC's Airlines born by minimizing unnecessary expenditure without reducing safety and aviation security and maximize revenue, such as reducing the use of travel agencies, print boarding passes at cheap paper, ticket prices do not include baggage fees and eating / drinking, ticket prices can change every minutes, narrow cabin space as much as possible because it is optimized for transporting passengers, if late check-in ticket charred, all aircraft must operate so that if the delay is very long.
Complaints scorching of ticket issue and delay are two issues often raised to LCC airline operators. Internationally (both LCC and full service) must check in counters close 30 minutes before the aircraft door is closed. LCC often impose 45 minutes before the aircraft door is closed. Schedule is written in the LCC website or boarding pass is printed in an hour plane door closed and the aircraft is pushed backwards (push back) to get ready to take off, or so-called aviation with ETD (Estimated Time Departure).
So consumers who come after 30 or 45 minutes (can be read on the website of each LCC) and the ticket is certain that the charred remains will have to buy a ticket to fly new, it is definitely more expensive. Tickets scorch is one source of revenue optimization. This case is most cases. So once again, flight hours listed on the site when we bought the tickets online is the best hour closed door to get ready at the push back and take off.
Aircraft instead of public transportation all the time we could get in and ride while not departing. Before take off, a lot of things that must be prepared in accordance with aviation safety regulations made by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation orgnization). So consumers safe domestic airlines should have to report to the airline check in counter at the airport one hour before the plane door closed.
As for the issue of delay in the LCC are often over 3 hours due to technical reasons resulting in the LCC business all aircraft must be fully operational and leaves very little spare aircraft. In LCC airline in a single day each aircraft must take off and land in a multi destination. So when the destination late landing, for example due to bad weather, then surely these will be further delayed, due to lack of spare aircraft.
