Air India Complaints & Reviews

I travelled on 28 feb from madrid to Delhi by AI 136, seat no. 33D, on requesting for whiskey, after one peg, i was denied for further drinks by the senior air hostess stating as company policy, that she can not serve another drink until 4 hours.
This us the first air line which has this policy or that is what she said. In the other Airlines they never deny, as I have travelled a lot.

Dear Sir,

With Due respect I would like to bring to your notice the unprofessional conduct of your organization. With so much competition for customer centric industry as airlines the experience I had with you was a nightmare.
I had a flight from Surat – Delhi – Leh. I had booked the luggage from Surat (AI-490)to be delivered at Leh. Delhi – Leh flight (AI-445) on 14-01-17 @ 5:55 AM from Delhi reached Leh @ 7:15AM, The Luggage supposed to come with the Flight didn’t come. I was made to wait a full day at leh in such cold conditions without any warm clothing (packed in my luggage). I had to make my own arrangements to stay back at Leh and due to which I missed my reporting at my Trek camp for ChaddarTrek. I had to manage on my own without any help or concern from your airlines. Hope in future your men are more human to other unlucky travelers who chose to travel with you.
It should have been your duty to accommodate and arrange my baggage at the earliest. I received my belonging the next day[protected] @ 9:00 AM.
Firstly I think your should feel sorry and ashamed for your conduct.
Secondly I want my cost to be reimbursed and compensated for the harassment faced for your deeds.
Cost:
Hotel Stay – 6, 000/- (Stay at Leh from 14th to 15th morning 1 day)
Food -Rs. -900/-
Transport 2 times (Airport – Hotel – Airport) – Rs.900/-
Harassment – Rs. 10, 000/-.

Hope you don't bargaining on this and be bit shameful to pay for your deeds.

I attached Property Irregularity Report.

I was travelling from New Delhi to Frankfurt on 22nd Feb 2017.
Flight No:AI 121
Seat No:17F
The unprofessional behaviour of the air hostess shocked me on two occasions:

1) I am a slow eater and so I was eating even after most passengers had finished.Hence indicated the air hostess to pick my tray later.However to my surprise, she came after a while and directly pulled my plate while I was eating the sweets and chatting with my neighbour. This was so rude and unprofessional.

2)I asked for napkins twice but she never came back to attend me. Later I went to the toiled and grabbed some tissue papers.
I could not note the name of the airhostess as she did not wear her name tag.

I am really ashamed that I have to lodge a complaint against Air India because I am an Indian.I am not sure if I could recommend AirIndia to my colleagues from Germany...

I bought a Hansen magnetic sunglass and gave it for powered glass change but th frame gave away. MRP is 4900. The item was bought from Kolkata domestic terminal in Nov 16 and it was Brand new while giving for the spectacle glass change into the frame here in Delhi! Regret that my 11000 spent for the spectacles glasses also is under stake for the want of a frame. Kindly advice for replacement!

Highly dis-satisfied with the behaviour of ground staff in check-in counter in kolkata airport. I m travelling from mumbai to silchar via kolkata. My PNR number is YEVSD.. My name is Somhita Bhattacharya.

Kolkata Airport is not having any baggage drop in counter. Even after having my boarding pass in hand I had to wait 45 mins for dropping my luggage. I am travelling with my laptop, tab & foods for my family.Because the bags are very small in size and so that the bags do not get tear off during my journey, i am carrying 3 hand baggage. There has been no issue in Mumbai airport, as we all know that a purse & laptop bag is not counted as a baggage.. However the same became a issue in Kolkata Airport. Here the staffs became so much rigid on d number of luggage, that my hand baggages had became a big issue.. They are not ready to listen to me. Not only this, they even said me that if I want to go for any competitor's airline, its not their problem.. It has been really very insulting, the misbehaviour the staffs did to me in front of all other passengers.
Is this the way, the staffs of Air India talks with its passengers?
Not only this, I was threatened at the end saying that if I travel in this way next time I will will not be allowed to travel.
There was one lady who was leading the argument & the other staffs were on her support.

I am travelling with Air India since many years, but every time I get this sort of behaviour from the ground staff in Kolkata Airport.

With this sort of insults, i would really prefer to travel with some other Airline instead of Air India.

I am doing service, and do belong to service industry. In our industry if any customer comes with any complaint or feedback, we try to solve the issue on immediate effect as it effects our brand image. Today the behaviour & threatning I got from Air India, i am compelled to think about the quality of service it holds. Is this the meaning of Alliance????

Will be looking forward for a reply

Air India the so-called prestigious airline of India. Till the time you were disrespecting the passengers it was okay but now you are stealing money from your passenger's baggage. I know because of demonetization you are in problem but that doesn't mean you will steal the money from the baggage of your passenger. My Rs12000 of new 2000 notes were pilfered from the baggage. It is not a petty amount. Take responsibility.
Worst airline ever!!!

Myself and my wife were carrying ok tikets
Feb 13, 2017 from Kolkata to Blr. We were abruptly told at the chk in counter that the plane AI 774 was cancelled and they canceled our tsk and told us they will reimburse the 22000 freq flyer mileage.
No they refused to endorse the tickets.
We had to purchase tkts on jet airways and leave for Blr that day; cost us Rs 16000 plus
Another Rs 3000 for 14 kg excess baggage
That jet does not allow. Air India runs a shamefully inept airline. Deserve redress.

I have been interacting with Garga from AIr India Mumbai about the replacement regarding baggage damage.
It was inspected by Air India third party repair center and it is confirmed that the bag Skybags New York 72 Cm Spinner Trolley, cannot be repaired and has to be replaced.

Now Garga from AIr India is offering me some other company's TakeOff bag.
The cost of both these bags does not match at all and even the durability and looknfeel is also different.

As a customer I am only looking for Skybag, which was damaged.
But now there is no response from Air India which is wrong from customer prospective. They have been treating us if we want something from their table even if I am not worth it.

Can you please help me in this consumer grievance.
Its almost more than 2 month and still there is no conclusion.

Details are mentioned below:-
Baggage which was damaged :-
Skybags New York 72 Cm Spinner Trolley, Purple

1. Ritesh Chaurasia - Self
2. Vishala Gupta - Wife
3. Raahil Chaurasia - Son 6 months old

On 8th of January, 2017, I booked ticket[protected] for travel cok-del on 13th Jan and del-cok on 24th Jan 2017. later on 12 january, I cancelled the ticket through toll free number as the timing was not suitable due to extreme cold in del. I was advised to contact the cok airport counter for a ticket for another flight. I had to pay full fare for the fresh ticket and I was advised to contact cok office for refund. The cok office in turn advised me to contact del office. On approaching the del office gave a Bombay office number. They told me to approach del office again. I am a frequent traveller on govt. work and am thoroughly disappointed with the response from air India office when a ticket is cancelled
I request that steps are taken to refund the ticket to my account of which debit card is used in this case, or through any other means.

I am really disappointed with jetairways. My friend booked ticket for me from makemytrip but god knows what happened at the time of booking the traveller name was my friend's name instead of mine. I called makemytrip to change the name but they told me to contact Air India (since the carrier was Air India). I called but they refused to do so and said it doesnot come under their policy. Why the hell can't you change the name??? Whats the big deal... Atleast you can give some kind of relaxation if not full money. E ticket no.: 098-[protected]

I am lodging another complaint against Air India due to them double charging me and my husband for our excess luggage. I had prepaid 8480 ruppes for the excess luggage and upon reaching the airport, the attendant at the counter says you have not paid for any excess luggage. They then hold our luggage behind the counter and do not give us our boarding passes. They say we need to wait at the airport counter until the manager comes in and that the Air India customer service line is not reachable so they cannot call to verify if we have paid. We show them the credit card statement showing that we have already paid for the luggage and they refuse to acknowledge that it is the luggage payment. We waited until the last minute and then they said either you pay an additional 20, 000 rupees if we want to board our flight otherwise we will miss it. After repeated emails and arguments with the customer service reps they have now refunded the 8, 480 rupees when they should have refunded the 20, 000 rupees. I need a refund ASAP. I am sick of the horrible behavior and the way you treat your loyal customers. I had been traveling with Air India for years but after this experience of being cheated and deceited I will NEVER AGAIN travel with you. I expect a refund and an apology as soon as possible. This matter has been lingering for too long and I do not have anymore patience to work with you politely. I am going to call my credit card company and explain your deceit and get all my money refunded whether you give it back to me or not. You should not harass your customers and hold them at ransom in such a manner. You are degrading the value of our country along with your own company's reputation.

I am expecting a refund immediately. Please let me know what information you require to do the needful. PNR: YNW0T

Thanks,
Manleen

I have a flight from delhi to blore AI 174 on 30th nov. I got the message from customer care that flight was delayed 15 mins. I already done web check in and reached at for bagage drop at 5:10 before 35 mins just to drop bagage. But there was attendent Mr. Gandhi did not allow me to board the flight and said boarding gate closed. And forced me to book another flight. I requested number of time but he did not allowed and talked bery rudely. I got the call from gate at 6:30 and flight was take off at 6:40. Why they did not allow me to board the same flight? Was that the intentionally did to me? Why that guy does not know how to talk to girl? Why they insulted me and forced me to go in another flight? Pl

My total checked in baggage was 26 kilograms and hand baggage was 0kg. The guy assisted me with boarding pass has said my checked in baggage allowance is only 15 kilo and I have to pay for additional 10kg. It's totally unfair and misleading the passengers as air india website provides the information that the domestic checked in baggage allowance is 25kg.

Please revert my additional payment of rupees 2, 650.

Even ticket no: 098-[protected]

I am therefore seeking the fixed compensation as specified in EC 261/2004.

Additional refund or compensation sought: Departed LHR to RAJ (India)
on Air India on 15/06/2016 at 12:30 arriving Delhi next day early

I had travelled on an Air India flight (AI-803) on 1st January, 2017. After landing, I noticed a rip in check-in my bag which could have only been caused by mistreatment/mishandling of the baggage by airport/airline staff. I accordingly registered a complaint by sending an email to the customer service cell of Air India as per the information provided on their website (email - call.[protected]@airindia.in). I even attached a picture of the damaged suit-case along with the email.
After about 9 days I received a response from Air India customer cell, Bombay, asking me to forward my query to either of the two below mentioned email addresses:
- del.[protected]@airindia.in
- del.[protected]@airindia.in
I followed the instructions and forwarded my complaint to the above mentioned IDs. On 15th Jan, i.e., 6 more days later, my query was forwarded to BLR airport manager's email ID to investigate and respond.
That was the last communication I received from Air India. Since then, even after repeated reminders, I have not received any response from any of the teams or persons concerned to handle this matter. I am not even sure if they (Air India) look into such matters thinking they may be trivial. It was a brand new suitcase that was damaged in its first travel and there is no acceptable excuse to explain this.
Please help.

I have booked 3 Tickets (2 Adults & 1 Infact) from Mumbai to Dibrugarh with PRN no. ZBSV7 via Kolkatta on Aug'16 through yatra.com.

Travel date: 22nd Jan'17

Mumbai to Kolkatta flight details AI-675 departure at 6.10 and Kolkatta landing at 9am. Next flight from Kolkatta AI-709 departure 10 am and arrival Dibrugarh at 12.55pm.

Airline has rescheduled the Kolkatta filght from AI -709 to AI-705 timing to 6.10 from Kolkatta instead of 10 am as booked earlier.

On the date of depurature at Mumbai Airport when we have asked Air India Manager to change the flight according to Mumbai Flight, they denied saying they cannot give as there is no flight available from Kolkatta to Dibrugarh after 6.10 flight. They asked to stay at Kolkotta and can give accomodate next flight which was on 24th Jan since Monday they donot have any flight to Dib.

As I had to reach Assam, I asked them to accomodate Guwahati Tickets instead of Dib as there was no option and we were travelling with an infact of 1 year old.

I want Air India to answer and compensate on our mental trauma which we had to face with an infant. And ask them how same PNR flight can departure at same time i.e. 6.10 am from two place. Mumbai & Kolkatta.

This has been a serious issue and want everyone to be aware what service they provide.

Please compensate my loss.

Flight details
EWR- DEL 15th Dec 2016
AI 144

DEL- EWR 7th Jan 2017
AI 191
E ticket no.[protected]

On 15th December I had my flight by EWR (Newark) to Delhi. We were told because of bad weather conditions the flight which was coming to EWR from India landed in JFK and we have to board the flight from JFK. There was no prior information provided to any of the passengers of the change of airport and everyone had to be transferred to JFK to board the flight. Because of the change of airport we were told that flight is delayed by 4 hours. When we arrived at the JFK airport they were checking in for the flight from JFK to Delhi AI 141, and they did not start the check in process till every passenger checked in for that flight. So all the passengers had to stand in the que with all the luggage for 2 hours. Once they started checking in passengers for AI 191 they realized that they cannot check in any of the passengers since the JFK computer system cannot check in for EWR passengers. All the staff was clue less about the solution and all the passengers were standing in the que for 9 hours just to get their luggage checked in at the JFK airport. There was no food and water provided to any of the passengers for all this trouble and none of the passengers were allowed to leave the que of the checkin to buy something of their own. Once we were checked in every passenger was issued a boarding pass of Mumbai instead of Delhi. I prebooked my seat allocation at the time of booking the seat, however at the time of checking in they failed to provide any of the passengers the prebooked seat and allotted random seats.

After 9 hours of long wait when I boarded the flight completely tired of the mental and physical torture to sit and relax, I realized that entertainment system is broken and can't even charge my mobile phone which was completely discharged being standing in the que for 9 hours. There was no entertainment center to pass my time pass for long 14 hours flight.

After the 14 hours of flying time and completely drained out of energy we reached Mumbai where we had to get our immigration done and claim our baggage despite booking the flight directly to Delhi. There was no prior information provided by crew or any of the staff for people who had to take a connecting flight to Delhi. We reached Mumbai around 1 Am in the morning despite the flight which we came was flying to Delhi we had to get down and claim the baggage and immigration in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night all the passengers taking connecting were completely clue less about the connecting flight were roaming inside the airport and finding air India crew to get a connecting flight. After 1 hour of waiting at the Mumbai airport we were given a flight for 17th morning 7am to Delhi. For overnight they allotted us the Lounge instead of providing with the hotel. All the passengers were completely drained out after long wait of 9 hours at the JFK airport standing and 14 hours of flight. When we tried accessing the Lounge, we were told that the lounge access is only for 5 hours and thus we cannot enter the lounge for another 2 hours. The Mumbai airport air India crew failed to understand any of the passengers misery. Reaching to Destination Delhi almost took me 40 hours which was supposed to take only 16 hours. We booked this flight on a premium and pod approximately 2000$ for the ticket for a physical, mental and financial torture.

This whole process caused a lot of physical and mental harassment to all the passengers and a perfect case to be taken to Courts on harassment. If a suitable compensation is not awarded by Air India for the physical, mental and financial torture we will be forced to take this to the Consumer Court.
