Not allowed to board

Hi,

I am Manoj Thorat and was supposed to travel by Kingfisher flight IT3181, from Mumbai to Chennai having PNR - CDUJVP.

I checked in with a seat no 28D. This flight was at 6.25 am at the International terminal. During the rush hours, there was a lots of rush at the security checking. After the security check in, I proceeded to the counter. With one of the person from Kingfisher Airlines, I was misled to go to Level 0 for boarding. Where as the flight was from Level 2. I had to come back to Level 2. I was at the counter at 6.04 am for boarding and the person Mr. Anit Trivedi recorded the time as 6.05 am and did not allow me to board the flight citing that it is an international terminal and we cannot allow further delays. As per the rule I was within 20 minutes at the Gate and I was yet not allowed. On the contrary there was nobody from the airlines at the security checking for speeding up or no announcements or call on my mobile. I have missed an important meeting at Chennai and I am at total loss. I look forward to a compensation from the airport authority and the Kingfisher airlines.

Thanks.

Manoj

Inspite of being one hour prior to my Chennai flight on 29th Oct 2010, me and my family of 5 members were not allowed to board the flight saying that we were late, by Kingfisher Red airlines..We were unnecessarily made to wait thereby delaying us further and later claiming that we had to report atleast 40minutes prior to the flight…This is a clear case of over booking and cheating done by Kingfisher Red airlines which claims to give good service but in true sense follows unethical business mehtods.This kind of disgraceful behaviour by Kingfisher staff will surely bring down the reputation of the airlines… These are good techniques to gain profit but will not last long and will give a severe blow to the airlines soon… I am entitled to receive the whole amount whereas Kingfisher Red airlines has deducted the basic fare amount which is just not acceptable thus saying it’s a ‘no show’…There are many such cases where my friends and relatives were not allowed to board flight even one hr prior to their departure…Such cases are coming across only with Kingfisher red airlines for which they will have to a pay heavy price some day. The staff of Kingfisher red is not only inefficient and slow in their work but also very shrewd in holding back their passangers deliberately and thereby delaying in giving their boarding pass.. They are very well trained in handling their passangers in a very inhuman way…Well done Kingfisher red airlines…Kingfisher Red Airlines Sucks…

Shame to the whole of Kingfisher Red airlines staff and Hon Vijay Mallya.

My connecting flight from Chennai to Port Blair also had to be cancelled.

This all led to my cancellation of all the bookings done for my Andaman Trip causing a heavy financial loss and mental stress…

If there is still some humanitarian feelings left within our country then my grievances will be heard to and resolved soon..
