Flight delays

Last week so many domestic flights in the Philippines were delayed. It was not about the typhoon.

My brother's flight from Surigao to Manila was delayed because of some engine trouble. They were already on board. A couple of minutes before they flew, they were asked to go down. Apparently, the plane had engine trouble!

My other brother's flight from Butuan to Manila was also delayed due to some technical matters. Our flight from Butuan to Manila (the following day after my brother's flight) was also delayed for 4 hours. I didn't bother to check what the reason was.

Usually when I travel domestic I don't buy travel insurance. I thought I have no use for them. But now I am rethinking this practice. With so many engine and technical troubles, I want/need to be safe and secured.

Yaiks, that was scary. On board na sila nung malaman na may engine trouble. Better safe than sorry. I don't take travel insurance din pag local flights dyan.
