Disappointing Experience Flying ValueJet

I had a very disappointing experience flying ValueJet from Abuja to Lagos. My flight (VK207) was delayed for more than an hour without prior notice, and passengers were left waiting with no explanation or apology. When boarding eventually began, we were unexpectedly told we would be flying with a different airline, Cally Air, which I did not book. This sudden change caused confusion, as no clarification was provided.

Although a change of aircraft should not normally be a problem, the plane used was extremely small, with steep and narrow stairs that made boarding and disembarking difficult. Several older passengers needed assistance, and even for younger passengers, the stairs felt unsafe and posed a risk of injury.

ValueJet owed its customers clear communication and an apology, but neither was offered. The handling of the situation suggested a lack of regard for passengers. This was my first time flying with ValueJet, and it was a deeply unsatisfactory experience. I will not be flying with ValueJet again.
