    Most disrespectful, upsetting and disgusting travel experience of my life. I and my husband traveled to india from melbourne via bangkok to see his family members in delhi and amritsar. We landed in delhi on 15 july and were to depart delhi on 17 july 2017 to go to amritsar via air india. We had booked the flight on 30 june for 12.15 to fly to amritsar on 17 july. My husband and i reached the airport at lrast 2 hours before check in. We were asked to pau an extra $100 for lugage as it was a domestic flight even though we are international tourusts. It took aur ubdya appxinateky 20 mins to sort out the extra luggage payment while taking my husband to a separate counter/place while i waited for checkin to be completed.
    The checkin officer checked our hand luggage and saw we had a delhi duty free bag and said nothing. I asked about the duty free items to carry on board and he said no problem as dury free is excepted.

    After checkin we went and sat down and had a green tea. After approximately another half hour we went through our other air india checkin and immigration ana security check and bodyscan. Immigration asked to confirm that my duty free bag held duty free items and i said yes and they didn't ask what and waved me through.

    Then all of a sudden at the final final security check i was pulled aside and the security officer called another security officer and told me i cannot take my duty free bag on the plane as i am a domestic passenger. And then another officer was called as i wanted to know why and stated that i was a international traveller and air india never informed me of any duty free no go and so on. I then got emotional and started crying and then said look im going to miss my flight. One security officer said there is a bottle of duty free alcohol i cant take and another officer said it was okay and then it went on with about 4 or 5 security officers speaking only partly in english. Another officer said u wont miss your flight as air india will call for me. The whole time there was no law/information showed to me about duty free and the security officers said it was duty-free staff and air india fault.in the end i went without my duty free items and when i arrived at air india gate to catch the flight it had already left. The staff at the gate said it was my fault as there was a phone call made to me and announcement over speaker - but there was no such thing and then they blamed the security and vice versa. One air india manager stated the duty free items info was on the dangerous goods and prohibited items signage but there was no such thing.

    Air india refused to put me and my husband on another flight and refused to give me a refund for the flight and a refund for my duty free items. I called the australian high commission but air india said it was security's fault.

    Then i asked for my luggage which they said was not on the amritsar flight and i can have it within an hour. After approximately 4 hours i got my luggage back and had to book and pay for a new flight. Air india kept on telling different stories and by the way my luggage had obviously gone to amritsar and back to delhi as it had the airline tags etc on it.

    Cost of my new flight booking from delhi to amritsar cost me inr4414 plus user development fee of 12inr air india flight no. Ai016 departing delhi at 5.15pm and arriving at amritsar at 6.20pm.

    I sought help from the airport centre mangement and asked them to help me get in contact with the australian high commission but nothing could be done as air india were still saying it was my fault. The whole time air indta staff kept in referring us to different staff.

    It was inhuman and inconsiderate behavior in a country tyat i thought would be nice to holiday in. It only shows that air indya don't care for their own customers and tourists.. I felt deeply upsey c and frustrated and that my rights were violated let alone the non custoner service with securuty stsff laughing at me also. Feeling frustrated... Wasted money and broken holiday.

          This has reference to the air ticket booked through makemytrip for boarding air india flight on june 22, 2017 from delhi (T3 terminal) to pantnagar. The relevant details of the booking are mentioned as under:

          Date of travel:[protected]

          Pnr 1: yyjwc e-ticket no. 098-[protected], 098-[protected]

          Pnr 2: yyjwj e-ticket no. 098-[protected], 098-[protected], 098-[protected]

          Makemytrip booking id: nf[protected]

          I request the authorities to take immediate strict action against air india for not refunding the complete amount paid by me towards the aforesaid booking through makemytrip.

          I had paid a total amount of rs 18263 to makemytrip for this booking. After boarding the flight, all the passengers were de-boarded from the aircraft citing the technical reasons. All the passengers were kept waiting for 4 hours and then it was announced by air india that the flight has been cancelled due to technical reasons. After wasting another 2 hours, the passengers were issued printed statements by air india mentioning that the pnr has been cancelled and the passengers are entitled for full refund as per the rules.

          The copy of printed statement issued by air india was forwarded by me to makemytrip and the entire situation was explained. Since the day the flight was cancelled i have been following up the matter with makemytrip (As air india doesn’t directly interacts since the booking was made through makemytrip) but no resolution has been provided to me despite forwarding them the copies of statements on more than single occasion.

          Out of total amount of rs 18263 paid by me, only rs 7163 was refunded by makemytrip. The makemytrip has been providing only one reply on consistent basis that the amount which was provided by air india has been refunded and for the balance amount (I. E. Major portion) they are taking up the matter with air india.

          During follow-ups on one occasion, i was also informed by makemytrip that there is some issue with database of air india as their website shows that flight departed on time. On this illogical response, i suggested them to cross-check the issue with various agencies like cisf, delhi airport authority, pantnagar airport authority, etc. That the flight was cancelled.

          I am now frustrated with the frequent and countless lengthy follow-ups (Telephone calls ranging from 30 to 75 minutes) i have had to make for getting my balance refund amount. I have failed to understand whether there is malafide intent of making money from the customer in refunding the payment or it is a case of abnormal procedural delay. Without losing faith in the system i now seek your immediate help in resolving my case so that the major portion / balance amount is refunded at the earliest.

            Dear concerned,

            I would like to let you know that my trolly bag is lost in ccu (Kolkata) airport yesterday while i was boarding the flight for yangon.

            I collected my boarding pass at around 9 am morning on 14th july 2017 from boarding pass counter. After informing about the check in baggage i kept the bag in conveyor belt. The belt started working and baggage went in without any tag.

            Also, i didn't asked about tag nor she gave by herself.

            Yangon lost & found section denied to lodge any complain file as they have checked and found no lagguage is linked with my boarding pass.

            The bag can be traced by cctv cameras near boarding pass counters which i hope are operatives.

            Seems Air India doesn't even bother to reply something. Or might be a case that they are habituated of such continuous and 100% genuine complaints. and that is the reason of customer satisfaction rating reflected in this website is just 1%. Proud Moment of Air India.

              Pathetic airlines and customer service! That's how i would like to start. Me and and my wife had a flight to chicago on june 14, 2017 from igi new delhi. Unfortunately, the air india servers were down that day which made us wait for almost an hour before we could check in our bags. Technical glitches are fine and they do happen but the thing that pissed me off that day was the customer service and unethical behavior by the air india staff.

              We had one extra luggage for which i was supposed to pay 200$. The lady at the counter directed me to another counter were i had to pay for the extra luggage. With taxes, the total amount came to 213$. Fair enough.. No worries. I gave the lady 220$ expecting 7$ in return. Apparently, she didn't have the change. She also said that they can't return back the money in dollars rather it would be in indian currency. That didn't make any sense to me. I paid in dollars, i expect the return in same currency.

              I offered her my credit card to charge 213$. Damn, now their credit card machine wouldn't work. She swiped my card twice and their stupid system didn't respond. I had only one hour or so left before my flight takes off and these # can't finish this simple task. Her co-worker was like we have 6$ in change, you can take that. It pissed me off more and i lost my temper. I felt so helpless then that i was like why did i chose this crappy airlines.

              Just like they told me to take back 6$ rather than 7$, i suggested why not you guys charge me 110$ instead.. Fair enough right.. Paying 3$ less wouldn't make much of difference just like 1$ doesn't. Its not about 1$ or 3$, it's all about ethics. The guy indirectly admits his mistake by saying make an invoice with 114$ so that if i complain, they still can be proved innocent. I collected back my 6$, felt helpless and i left the counter.

              After security checks and immigration, these crew members are like hurry up, the flight is gonna take off soon. Shut up you #, air india and their unqualified staff is responsible for all these delays. Damn, me and my wife lost our mental piece.

              I didn't pay 1500$ to deal with all these kinda stuff. There has to be some courtesy by you guys. I think your staff is not qualified enough to handle situations like this. They don't have any sense of customer service and hospitality.

              I wouldn't recommend anyone to fly airindia. It's the worst airlines to fly with.
              I request airindia to please return back the extra money they have charged (1$).. And show some decency next time someone travels with airindia.

              Document number :[protected]
              The total amount is 13650 inr on the invoice. The bill shows 13650 inr (213 usd). I didn't have time to check my invoice as i would have missed my flight arguing with the staff. They charged me 214$ instead of 213$ just because they didn't have change.

              Refund it back! Simple! Its not about 1$, its about the trouble i had that day.

                  To whom so ever it may concern
                  Please find attached the following documents
                  1. Air india mumbai-delhi confirm tickets of 3 passengers
                  Vikas jain ticket no.098-[protected] boarding pass issued
                  Akash jain ticket no.098-[protected] boarding pass issued
                  M. R jain ticket no.098-[protected] boarding card not issued
                  2. Certificate issued by air india for refusal to board on flight because of non availability of seats.
                  3. Taxi fare receipt of airport transfer.

                  Please note that the above 3 passengers were scheduled to board the air india flight no. Ai 101, flying time 09.00p. M on 12th of july. Web check in was done around 12 hours before the flight time and two boarding cards were issued, air india app was showing some technical error while trying for the third boarding pass. After several attempts we were not able to get the third boarding pass through the app, so we decided to get the third boarding pass from the airport. After reaching the airport around 6.30 p. M when we went to the air india counter, it was very surprising to believe that air india has refused the availability of seats to all three passengers and gave an excuse that due to some technical error a smaller capacity aircraft is operating on this route.

                  After sometime they offered us to fly through jet airways and one of the executive took us to the jet airways counter but they also refused as they didn’t had seats.
                  After coming back to the air india counter they offered us a next morning flight and told us that they will provide an accommodation for the night. Then they started searching the hotels for rooms and kept on telling us rooms are not available anywhere. After standing for more than two hours they gave us a hotel room and we had to accept that because we were standing like beggars without any choice.
                  During the whole episode all the staff members were very unfriendly, they were trying to push their duties on other member and no one was ready to face the situation.
                  Finally when we asked them to drop us to the hotel they told us we do not have any drop facility, you can go on your own and we will give u return taxi fare. When we agreed to take the return taxi fare from airport to juhu they gave us rs.300.00 which we refused and went on our own.
                  While standing over there for so long we also came to know from one of their crew member that there was no technical error on the aircraft. Actual reality was that some special preferences where given to some v. I. P guests who were not having tickets, to fly on our confirmed tickets during the end moment.

                  I want an urgent reply on this mail. How can u cancel a confirm ticket without any reason? How can u over book the flight? We have been harassed at the airport for almost 4 hours.
                  This matter will not stop here. We will go to social media and court.

                    Sir,
                    I went to the ticketing counter air india chennai on 28th jun, there were few people ahead of me. The staff manning the ticketing counter took little over one hour to clear those ahead of me. What shocked me was when my turn came the ticketing staff told me "you are a staff please wait" & started attending to the people behind me. I am 68 years old.

                          Hello,

                          This is to bring to your attention the issue about an open ticket that i am unable to re-book. Allow me to elaborate.

                          I booked my air india return flight for return on 24th of december from hyd - jfk 1 (E ticket number 098-[protected]). However, i converted this ticket to an open ticket sometime in the month of october 2016. No time during the whole telephonic conversations (Or written) was i told that my open ticket will get expired on 4th of june 2017 (The first part of the ticket was used on 4th june 2016 from jfk - hyd). You may check your records, i have contacted your customer care department numerous time inquiring about my ticket status and asked them to email a open ticket confirmation to me. They informed me that it wasn't a part of their policy to email any confirmation regarding conversion of a booked ticket to open. I have called your customer care department regularly to check the status of my tickets.in fact even until yesterday (6/15) the customer service department informed to to visit the air india city office and get the booking done after checking all the records of my ticket.

                          However, when i visited the air india office, i was taken aback when i was informed that my request to book the ticket from mum-jfk on 16th september 2017 cannot be fulfilled as my tickets have already expired.

                          I already wrote to air india about 10 time but got no response. Can you please look into this?

                          Thanks

                            Dear air india officials,

                            Air india is a pride of our country but the staff on board is running the complete reputation of the air line with its bad experience.

                            Recently we were traveling from delhi to maldives (5th july, 5.15am flight). Since it was an early morning flight, we slept in the plane. When i woke up i requested for a coffee form the staff and he refused saying they are not serving hot bevergaes on the flight. We paid for and took an international flight. This is something not expected form an international airline.

                            While coming back on 9th july from maldives to delhi (4.35pm flight from maldives), one of the staff mr. Vishal tomar was extremely rude. I have never experienced such bad behaviour of any airline staff before.

                            I was in the toilet and when i came out, he was serving food. I wait for him to serve 5 rows of people. He was looking at me that i am waiting. After five rows when he looked at me again and started serving people in the sixth row, i asked him to give me way to reach my seat and he started staring at me as if i have asked him to donate all his property in my name. I confronted and told him that he should have been courteous enough to ask me to sit for some while or should have gave me the way to go to my seat but he started talking in a very rude way. He was unapologetic till the end of 5.5 hours flight.

                            I shall in future never ever travel with air india if this is the kind of training given to the staff for handling clients.

                            Food quality was poor and irrelevant. We were served cold pieces of chicken in the morning breakfast with no hot beverages.

                            Air india its time to improve in a big way!!

                              I re-checked in my luggage at the air india counter and paid rs. 10, 500 extra for 25 kilos extra at the chatrapati shivaji international airport, mumbai on july 10, 2017. I had a departing flight to hyderabad from bombay at 1:55 pm, air india on flight number ai 617. I landed at 3 pm and returned home to find my jbl black speakers missing since, the checkin of my bags at air india. They cost me $100. If the conduct of the individuals responsible handling and checking the checked bags is questionable, what kind of security s guaranteed for the next time i travel in air iindia only to find something important and expensive missing, after i arrive home. Please do help me attain the compensation of the $100 lost. It's a lot of money. Please!

                                  Most horrified and torturous experience of my life. I booked a flight ticket to Pune for 6.35PM on the 9th June 2017. I reached the airport at 5.45Pm and immediately stood to check in. After almost 15 mins wait when I reached the counter I was told that boarding was stopped 45 mins back. Are we expected to board 45 mins early even in domestic travels? I then seeked the air India desk for help and begged them to help me. The lady at the counter was so super kind that at 6.00pm she told me that I will have to buy another ticket at 9.00am the next day morning to reach Pune. I told her I wanted to talk to the manager. He called someone on the phone and said nothing could be done... Let me reiterate that there were still 20 minutes for the flight to take off even then and he said that I could not get to the flight... I was almost in tears and your team there didn't even budge. Do you think that middle class people could so easily afford money that they could just book tickets whenever they feel like?... What do you expect that your customers reach the airport 3 hours early... So inhuman and inconsiderate behavior in a country like ours only shows that we don't care for our own people... If we just care a damm about our own people and have no slight consideration or customer service then humanity will just eventually fade away from the face of the Earth... Because of such instances people will loose faith on anything... Now am just at the airport... Spent another 8000 and booked another flight to Pune at 10PM... Which is delayed by 40mins... I've wasted 5 hours of my life sitting here at the airport... Feeling frustrated... Wasted money. I need help!

                                    I was traveling by AI 776 from Bangalore to Kolkata on 8th July 2009 (Etk:[protected]C1, Boarding No. 109) with my Otto Bock B 500 model (Made in Germany) power wheelchair (Tag No. AI313325 [protected]), which is designed for international air travel without removing the batteries (batteries are dry cell and sealed, do not need any maintenance). Being a faculty member of a Government of India funded educational institute I travel only by Air India and quite frequently. I have been traveling with this wheelchair by AI since 2012. I am based in Bangalore. However, this time the handling of my chair by the ground staffs (led by one whose first name starts with Priya and last name starts with P, wearing black coat). They didn't have any idea about how to security check this chair. When I tried to guide them from my experience how to get the wheelchair scanned in which big X-ray machine in the Bangalore air port they completely ignored me and made unnecessarily move from upstairs back to down stairs while boarding already started. When I assured them I had disconnected the batteries, they completely ignored me and forcibly tried to remove a cable, which could have seriously damaged the chair on which I am so dependent that in case of a damage even my going to toilet will become impossible. All these years I have been taking the chair close to the air craft door and then transferring to an aisle wheelchair leaving behind my own chair to be loaded into the cargo hold. There have been no security objections from the CISF (even I have been allowed to do so in case of Lufthansa or United Air in Germany or in USA respectively without any problem). Only this time these AI ground staffs refused me that practice as if they have more security responsibility than the CISF, while CISF personnel were quite sensitive and cooperative to me. These 'over learned' ground staffs even didn't know that most of the airport buses are equipped with wheelchair ramp and insisted that I leave my wheelchair behind to take on the wheelchair provided by AI (which are far poorer quality than mine, more over I have 85% handicap and my wheelchair is custom made) before boarding the bus. This way at each and every step they made journey hell and delayed the boarding due to their inefficiency, stupidity and insensitivity. Please take them to task.

                                      CMD Air India - Mr. Ashwani Lohani,

                                      I will like to first congratulate you for the recent revamping of Air India with better direct connections, allegiance with star alliance and the new fleet of Dream liners. I am a 1K member on United Airlines but have recently moved to Turkish Airlines due to sub-standard services o[censored]nited. I also am Sapphire One world Iberia which has been exceptional so far .

                                      I, Amit Lohana reference number YEFC2 was a passenger on a flight from Delhi - New York - Delhi last week and saw quite a number of pitfalls in the service . The food served was sub standard in quality and presentation . On my first leg the Roasted Almonds from Jabsons were rancid and the crew acknowledged the same but didn't have another batch to offer . The prawns were dried out and were being served from silver foil trays which is not very presentable . The seat 14H was having glitches when pressing the recline button and your crew which was resting 13J was making more noise than the passengers . The choices on the entertainment system were very limited and if one is a frequent flyer on Air India then no new additions are reflecting on monthly basis.

                                      On my return flight AI102 the service got worse, they served me Dal in flimsy silver foil which must be a mistake as Business class shouldn't be served in that manner . The remote and screen on the seat froze and after multiple resets was not operational making me go to the crew for every glass of water or any other service as the call sign button was not working . The nail on the coffin was the luggage damaged on the arrival at Delhi and the interrogation on the details of the luggage . On a frank note we don't expect to have high service standards like Emirates, Etihad or Singapore Airlines but at least basic business class services are expected from Air India . The entire journey becomes jinxed after the experience and you start doubting your loyalties . I recently saw an interview of yours and was greatly impressed with your openness and candor which makes me believe that you will surely take this in positive criticism and not junk the compliant into the system .

                                      Regards,
                                      Amit Lohani

                                        Dear Sir/Madam,
                                        1. I would like to express my disappointment from your unsatisfactory level of behaviour and services while travelling in Air India AI 820 Vadodara to Delhi on 27 Jun 17 (Seat nos. 4A, 4B, 4C, 6A, 6B and 6C). I had expected much more from a prestigious and reputed company of an inter national standard. Unfortunately, I can’t help but submit this letter of complaint hoping for a fast and adequate resolution.
                                        2. I had pre booked wheel chairs for my aged parents in their 80's and 90's. Further, at the time of check-in, the appropriate inputs are made in the system to ensure that same is reflected for the information and action by cabin crew other concerned officials.
                                        3. At Vadodara, at the time of boarding the flight, it was drizzling. My aged parents were wheeled out in open, in rain (not in any covered vehicle) on wheel chair through tarmac/apron/aircraft operating area to the aircraft ladder. I was not allowed to accompany them to provide some shelter from rain. I requested for an umbrella for them. My requests were not heeded to. By the time they were wheeled to aircraft ladder they were fully wet and drenched.
                                        4. On boarding the flight as their clothes were wet, I had out dry them with towels as not change of clothes were available in my hand baggage. In-flight they caught cold, started shivering and sneezing. This was followed by an attack of pneumonia on arrival at Delhi, for which they are undergoing treatment on date too.
                                        Due to their in flight condition and discourteous and gruff treatment at Vadodara, I requested the stewardess on the flight that proper wheelchair arrangement be made on arrival at Delhi.
                                        5. Unfortunately, Ordeal did not end here. On arrival at Delhi, the flight embarked at a ladder instead at aero bridge. Due to uncongenial treatment by your staff my aged parents were were fully drenched and shivering were in no state to walk down the ladder. I requested for an ambilift. One of the ground staff (if recollect his correct name) Mr. Ranvir Singh was too harsh and impolite, I requested the flight stewardess too, they confirmed that ambilift was NOT available.
                                        6. By this time, the Captain of the flight was de planing, he too instructed ground staff and the stewardess to more considerate and provide proper assistance. Regrettably, literally I had to carry my parents in my lap and limp with no help/assistance from your staff, who were mere spectator and just smiling and giggling.
                                        7. On ground, the wheel chair was made available, on reaching passenger coach, I requested bus driver to put/extend ramp so that wheel chair could be rolled inside the bus. He confirmed there was no ramp in the bus. I inquired as to why no ramp facilities were available in passenger bus. The driver's response too was terse, curt and unhelpful. He rusticity conveyed “Babu aap Air India me safar kar reho ho, koi firang airlines me nahi” (Sir, you are travelling in Air India not in any foreign airlines). I was appalled at such behaviour, felt humiliated and insulted. I couldn't believe my ears. He seemed to think it was funny. I don't know how many passengers he has offended in past.
                                        8. I hope you would personally look into the matter, and make sure such an incident is not repeated and my mobile is repaired at the earliest. Your company has been known to provide good services, and such events tarnish the company name, so please address this deficiency in service
                                        9. Sir, I request an apology from official responsible for this shoddy treatment/behaviour, plus an explanation of why I was treated so badly. I also trust that you will take the necessary precautions to prevent such incidents in the future. Further I request you immediately detail bus driver for curtsey training programme.

                                        10. I look forward to hearing from you.

                                        Yours faithfully,
