Flybig — Cancellation and Refund

Address:Killa No. 13, 3rd Floor, Begumpur, Khatola, Gurugram - 122001, Haryana, India
Website:www.flybig.in

Dear Sir, I had booked the above ticket for my 81 yr old mother and one companion, on your website on[protected]eTicket attached). However due to the increase in the pandemic situation I did not want to take the risk for such an aged lady and wanted to cancel my above booking. I have tried to cancel my booking on your website and was alarmed to note that the refund amount shown was only Rs 578/- whereas the total cost of booking was Rs 6578/-. (as in the attached ticket). Kindly note that the booking was for[protected] and today is[protected] days in advance). However even though I felt looted by FLYBIG I went through with the cancellation, but an on screen pop up appeared saying that the PNR was not valid. After a few minutes when I tried again the onscreen pop up now says PNR is already canceled. Also there is no option on your website for customers to verify the cancellation details or even see the cancellation details. Also no mail alert has come for the cancellation as it came for the booking ? This amounts to gross manipulation of your own terms of carriage which is tantamount to fraud.The above amounts to looting the customers by keeping them in the dark and making the cancellation process very complicated unlike other major airlines operating in India.I would request DGCA to take cognizance of this issue and issue mandatory guidelines to M/S Flybig so that they run their operations within the purview of the land.An acknowledgement of this mail would be highly appreciated.RegardsD Barua

"Dear Mr. Barua,

Greetings from flybig!

Thank you for taking the time out to communicate with us.

Reference your email, we would like to inform you that the booking has been made in lite fare (W lite), which is a non refundable fare. Hence, when you cancelled the booking, only the tax component (INR 578) has been initiated as a refund value.

For any further assistance with flights, fares and bookings you can contact our guest helpline number +91 [protected] or alternatively visit www.flybig.in.
Regards
Team flybig"

My reply to above mail from party;
"Dear Mr Nodal officer/Team Flybig,

Do you realise that what you have written in your trailing mail is totally against your Terms of Carriage. You have said only tax component Rs 578 is refundable however from the tax invoice attached to the ticket there is no tax charged in the appropriate columns leading to purposeful ambiguity and deception.

Further since you have at least admitted to refunding the tax component kindly arrange to do the needful as I have not received any credit to my bank account from which the inward transaction was done.

Also kindly look into the fraudulent practice of wiping off and not maintaining any record on your website of cancelled transactions so that it cannot be retrieved at a future date for any dispute or Litigation purposes which may arise. All major international and domestic airlines maintain financial transaction history which can be retrieved for a minimum of 5 yrs from date of transaction. Kindly adopt these good practices.

Kindly arrange to refund the Rs 578/- ASAP, and at least have the decency to communicate the same.

Regards
D Barua"
