<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->LAST Friday evening, my son and his associates were at the airport to catch a flight to Milan, Italy, as they are participating in the renowned Milan Furniture Fair 2009, which is scheduled to start this week.
Their luggage included a few bulky boxes containing designed furniture of various shapes intended for the exhibition and competitions. One was comparatively large and was not acceptable as a check-in item at the check-in counter.
The counter officer explained that as the size of the box exceeded a specified limit, it could not be accepted. The only way was for my son to get an air cargo handler to ship it separately.
My son was sad and disappointed as it meant the box might not reach Milan in time for the fair. That would also be disastrous for my son and his team of young designers as most of their essential furniture parts were stored in this box.
As my son and his team at the Milan fair are partly sponsored by the Government, they had spent months designing and building the furniture in time for the fair.
We pleaded with Thai Airways duty superintendent Ricky Lim. After listening to our pleas, he went to make a final attempt to explore avenues to help us.
He finally came back and told us he had found a way to transport the box, provided we indemnify the company against all damages, which we happily agreed to.
During the agony of waiting, we were comforted by the professional manner in which the airline staff went out of their way to listen to and help us.
I would like to thank the helpful and professional airline staff, namely Mr Lim, Jennie and Jessie Tan for their kind understanding and going the extra mile to help my son and his associates.
They made our day and deserve accolades for their proactive attitude in helping customers. Tan Chee Meng
