I purchased a ticket bearing PNR no. A2HYLX from INDIGO Airlines on 01/6/2009 at Rs.2230.00 and cancelled the same on 03/8/2009. The Airlines did not give me any cash or card refund and instead they kept the refund amount Rs.1480.00 (RS.2230.00 -750.00) as ‘’ credit shell ’’under their control for future booking within one year. I rebooked a ticket on 03.8.2010 at Rs.3782.00 bearig PNR no.M6SQBE by using credit of Rs.1480.00 & cash/card of Rs.2302.00. and cancelled the same on 11.9.2010. The Airlines has refunded me Rs.1552.00 (2302.00 -750.00) instead of Rs.3032.00 (Rs.3782.00-750.00) . The matter has been brought to the notice of the INDIGO Airlines and the Airlines has informed me that the amount Rs.1480.00 can not be refunded as the same has expired after completion of one year.
I do not agree with the decision of the INDIGO Airlines as the same are contrary to the citizen charter. Because I have already used the credit amounting Rs.1480.00 within one year for purchasing the ticket bearing PNR no.M6SQBE and therefore it did not expire. Further this amount Rs.1480.00 has been merged with the total ticketed amount (Rs.3782.00) of M6SQBE and losses its separate identity. When the PNRno.M6SQBE is cancelled, the refund is to be granted on the total payment of the Itinerary-M6SQBE minus the calcellation charge.
The Kingfisher Airlines (erstwhile Airdeccan) in a similar case refunded me the total payment of the Itinerary (PNRno. BLULLA) where ‘credit shell’ was used during booking but losses its time limit during cancellation.
So the INDIGO Airlines is bound to refund the total payment amount minus the calcellation charge (Rs.3782.00 – Rs.750.00) of the Itinerary –M6SQBE at the earliest.

Indigo Airlines, the worst airlines I have ever seen, I will share my worst experience with you all passengers. I purchased my air ticket at 2:15 and I boarded at 3 o clock to the bus, as the traffic was high, I called the Indigo people stating that I will be reaching little bit late, please make an exception for me as I am having a medical emergency as my aunt was in the ICU. The passenger boarded at 5:15 and I reached at 5:20, and I requested them to make me an exception, but the ground crew member who used to handle the position at evening shift behaved me in such a way that, I was shocked. Even I begged on my knees in front of them, but the lady hostess was doing her duty and told me that nothing can be done.

I then spoke to someone else in Indigo, she was a hostess who was issuing the Air Tickets. I requested her also to please consider my situation and make me an exception, she told me that she will allow me reaccomodation in another flight in the morning, but I have to pay 1800 Rs for that. I was fine with the terms she said, and she referred me to next cabin crew member, I was just waiting for my turn to talk to the crew member, when I requested her, she told me the additional fare rate, I was fine with the rates and asked for 1 and half hour time pay the amount. First the crewmember refused me and said that she will not be able to wait. But after requesting her, she talked to someone else and said that as my Flight has boarded I can, t reaccomadate to the other flight. I know it is something technical terms, which I also din, t understood at that moment. My flight number was 6E-343 AND TRIP ID WAS [protected].

Does the rules are more important than life taking situation. I know what I am paying for the delay of 5 minutes.

I know you Indigo people are going review this and going to delete all these stuffs. but does not matters I have given all these information to show you all people the images of your poor Customer satisfaction. As I am Software engineer I bet you people this article will be found within few days in all the forums.
Very Well said
Dear Sir / Madam,

I had horrible experience with indigo airline.My friend who was suppose to catch his flight from Delhi to Dubai on July 22 2012 with indigo was not allowed to board the flight by immigration officials as he did not have immigration check not required stamp not there on his passport as a result the flight had to leave him behind which is fair enough.But my anguish is the immigration officials informed the indigo ground staff about all this ,so the staff should have cancelled his ticket right there and there for refund or given him credit for the same.but they did not do any thing.When i went to indigo office for the same the manager was helpful at all and did not hear me out .In short i was not allowed to use my rights as i customer.I would appreciate if some one from indigo could sort out this matter for me if they really want to stay in business.my contact is [protected] Mumbai.
My name is Sonali Nandi Bose. I had booked a ticket from Indigo Airlines for travel from Delhi to Kolkata on 19th April 2013 and a return journey from Kolkata to Delhi on 21st April 2013. My PNR is SRCMDN. I cancelled the ticket and had requested for a refund on 17th April 2013. Till today(07th May 2013), I have not received the refund of Rs. 16013=00(Rupees Sixteen thousand and thirteen only). I had requested for a Transaction ID from Indigo as they claim that they refunded the money on 23rd April 2013. Indigo could not even provide me with the Transaction ID. Every day I have been calling them up and following up with Indigo, but everyday they are asking for next 24 hours. I am really harassed by this and I request to take necessary action so that I can get back my refund.

Regards.

i booked a ticket with reference KUD7LS and by mistake i miss understood the date of booking as date of journey.therefore, i re-planned the flight. But i came to know that i re-booked the same flight dated[protected] and it took rs.3000 as changing charge, but actually there was neither change in flight nor on the date of travel i.e. the ticket was re-booked on same date and in the same flight.when i complained this to the customer care they said this is a normal case and only rs.2000/- can be refunded(i got rs.2000/- refunded).i just wanted to know can't i get full rs.3000/- as refund or not.
