Air India Complaints & Reviews

Travel docs,
Please investigate this matter looks like some blunder has happened with me, someone using my frequent flyer number for their benefits.
Ff ai[protected]: this ff number has been assigned/logged to me at pune airport on 23oct2016 by air india check-in window agent. I was travelling to pune - delhi-chicago.
Now last week i was trying to log in using this ff number, it doesn’t allow me to log in to check my points status and other details, therefore i have called to air india customer care and came to know that credentials which are assigned to this ff number are far different, not matching a single word with my credentials (Name, b’date, cell phone number, address). Customer care asked me to send an email to flying-returns. [protected]@iclployalty.com to investigate more but didn’t get any reply back even after 48 hrs.

Recently, i have created new ff number which is[protected]. But i want my previous miles transferred to this new account, and need to investigate, that who was using the previous ff number to get benefits of my miles. Also i want complete statement of my previous ff number[protected]

I travelled from Newark to Mumbai (AI144) on 15th July and then from Mumbai to Delhi (AI888) on 16th July. The weather condition was not good so there were many jerks. During flight, screen of my office laptop got damaged. So, please reimburse me repairing cost of my laptop.

My name is ankit jain. i was travelling on the air india flight from london to hyderabad via new delhi (flight ai-116 and ai-560) on 9th july 2016 (new delhi to hyderabad on 10th july).

My luggage was initially misplaced at the delhi airport due to which i got my luggage 2 days after arriving at the hyderabad airport (complain number at hyderabad airport - "hyd ai 555 99"). when i got my luggage on 12th july 2016, i noticed that the suitcases weighed lighter. i mentioned a remark on the agent who dropped off my suitcases that they appear to be lighter and i will have to check them to confirm if there is anything missing.

When i checked my luggage, i noted that two watches, a bottle of wine (and a selfie stick) that i carried from london were missing. i am moving out of london and therefore, had a lot of luggage packed in my suitcase which i did not inventorise - therefore, at this moment, i am also not sure if there were any other items that were removed from my suitcase.

I also tried to raise a complaint with air india on the very same day. the executives and the senior staff i interacted with were clearly trying to dodge away my phone call - when i talked to them about missing luggage, they intentionally kept my call unattended and replied back to my angry shouts on the phone. i also lodged a complain on the air india helpline at both the hyderabad and new delhi airports as i was instrcuted by the call center team. the complaint numbers were "wb-idel[protected]" and "wb-dhyd[protected]".

I would want air india to look into this matter and to take an action against the ground staff. i would also want air india to compensate me for the loss. there were two watches - one, an armani exchange watch worth about inr 20, 000 and another fast-track watch which was worth about inr 1, 500. the bottle of wine was worth inr 3, 500 and i wouldn't like to mention the selfie stick here. i would also want air india to compensate me for the hassles that i had to go through for this nuisance and the time that i had to spend on this matter.

Air india is a reputed airline and indians outside the country really look forward to their service. these incidents only make us not to choose an indian airline when we wish to make a trip back to our country. i will be ashamed to tell about this incident to my colleagues back in the uk and i am glad it did not happen to a foreign tourist.

I am happy to share additional information with air india officials should they need to confirm any of the facts above.

Hello sir,
My brother had a flight today at 8:30 p. m from delhi to dubai (flight number ai 0995 and ticket number[protected] but because of delay in providing boarding pass he missed his flight and they reconfirmed his ticket and charged rs.3600 because of their own fault and moreover they broke his luggage as well and they didn't treat him well.

I flew by air india flight number ai 143 from chennai to delhi on 11th july.

I went through a pathetic experience with air india team when my baggage is misplaced by air india team, there is no sensitivity shown by the air india team during the incident, with huge difficulty in finding the complaint lost registration office at airport finally i registered a complaint with very busy air india customer helpdesk and finally after an hour my complaint was registered with giving no information, how my baggage will be traced and handed-over to me.

I did lot of follow-up with air india tem through toll-free number where i didn't get any information till 48hrs.

Finally, on 13th july, 9:30pm (After 60hrs) i received a call from courier agency delivery person that he bought a bag for me from air-india where he was asking my address for delivery which i have informed in writing at complaint dptt at airport and that was not given to courier delivery person, after delivery when i opened the bag i found my lot of personal stuff (Shaving kit, 4 shirts etc) from the bag were missing of amount inr 15, 000.

My file reference number is : delai81779

Based on my experience from this incident, i would like to recommend please never ever choose air india flight as option as far as possible.

Thanks and regards to all concerns.

We traveled in ai 112 on 13/07/16 from london
To shanghai pvg airport via delhi.
Our flight from london was late and arrived late in delhi and we were told that our connecting flight to shenghai pvg was missed.
We told the the staff that we are on bussiness trip and we have meetings with company's and have hotels booked and we have further transfers booked as well.
It will be heavy loss to our bussiness if we do not get there on time. but no helpful response from the air india staff.
As as the result we are here at delhi airport waiting for the next day flight.
We will be now late for our meetings and have to pay for all the. arrangements again.
I would like to make an official complain and request for the imburstments of all he losses incurred due to the flight delays.
We would want air india to pay compensation for this.

I booked 4 tickets on 4th july 2016 from hyd-mumbai-newark and newark-mumbai-hyd for the journey dated 13th september 2016 and back on 16th october 2016. The booking was confirmed
For the above tickets an amount of rupees 2, 67, 526 was paid by direct transfer from sbi account
Since the earlier transaction attempted for the booking of the above said tickets were declined when the payment was made through my sbi credit card. On 3rd july 2016 an amount of rupees 2, 67, 526 was debited in my card account
From the above it is seen that payment was recieved/claimed from both the direct transfer as well as credit card.
Further it is noticed that no receipt was issued for the amount received through credit card and tickets were issued for the payments received through bank transfer.In view of the above action needs to be initiated for the excess payment of amount rupees 2, 67, 526 may be refunded to my credit card.

I had received a message from mohit sharma ([protected]) mentioning that my job application has been accepted in air india in domestic airport.

He gave his ac number, when asked why he is providing his...

Dear sir,

I wish to register my grievance against air india airport staff mumbai. my flight was on 5th july 2016, from mumbai to bangalore, flight no. ai 603. boarding time was 5.45am and gate was mentioned 42a on my boarding pass.

The gate was changed to 40 a without any announcement. i was waiting on the gate assigned, when suddenly i came to know that the flight took off.

Nobody bothered to call me, or announce my name once, or either at least announce the change in gate.

Later on the air india staff misbehaved and didnot cooperate.

They could have, but they didn't arrange any accommodation in the next flight for me.

The flight ai 603 returned back from midway, due to technical issue. then also, the staff didn't inform me.

My money was also not returned.

I am hereby attaching my boarding pass with this mail.

I am expecting a resolution against my complaint.

Thanking you.

My last trevel is 27/06/16 dharamsala (gagal) airport to delhi airport 12:35 air india with connecting flight is delhi to abhu dabi jet airways 21:00
But air india flight is cancell and then miss my second flight. so dharamsala airport (himachal pradesh) air india from issue
New ticket in 28/06/16
I come to 28/06/16 in delhi but second tticket is not sanction in jet airways. then do not help in anybody from air india after i have purchase new ticket. i have atech fully tickets. can you check please.

I boarded ai 144 newark - bom on 11th may at 4:25 pm.
First of all the seat which i got 49 f, its entertainment system wasnt working at all. i was transferred to another place, in that seat the torch wasnt working and had to have my dinner in dark.

Than again for reading i had to move to other place, but in that seat the seat handle was so tight that even the crew members were not able to lift it.

I had to change my seat for like 6-8 times throughout my journey, believe me none of the seats were proper.

For the seats in row 50, none of the remotes for tv systems were working.

More over, when i informed the crew, they were like this is what you get for this much money.

Food as so bad, that i had to starve throughout the journey and moreover a self service kind of thing it was.

At the end, the most unprofessional thing which was done was: i was given a wrong membership number through air india.

Please guys improve the quality of flight, dont just read complaints, get results. i just saw that there are thousands of complaints regarding the flight ai 144, come on, do something.

What would a foreigner think about india after going through such a horrible flight for 15 hr!!!

You can contact me on: [protected]@gmail.com

Flight ticket of mr. vinayak b kulkarni & mrs. vandana v kulkarni was booked online via make-my-trip site. pnr no. j3fe4, eticket no.[protected].
By mistake name of mrs. vandana v kulkarni was wrongly typed as mrs. vanadana v kulkarni. i have request make-my-trip customer care as well as air india customer care to help me getting the spelling rectified as mrs. vandana v kulkarni. as they are a senior citizen they should not face any problem in travelling the airlines.
As per the update provided by the customer care, they have received a remark in their system which is circulated to airport mumbai stating that the name should be read as vandana v kulkarni instead of vanadana v kulkarni.
I sincerely request you to kindly help me with some confirmation to the passenger either on his mobile or email id for the same so that he can travel without any fear.
Request you to kindly help these senior citizen's ( they are director of the company ) & our company is a frequent flyer with air india airlines.
Expect positive response for the same at the earliest please.

I travelled by air india 2nd july 2016 flight ai 0144 newark to mumbai. this plane is too old. the seats are stiff and hard. the entertainment systems of most of the seats did not work. when we complained to the air hostess they acknowledged that there is a problem. would really appreciate if the quality is improved else will switch to another carrier for my trips to india.

Myself along with my 2 daughters travelled from Delhi to Kochi by flight no AI 048 dated[protected]. On arrival at Kochi at 9.30 PM they could not find their baggage (3nos) and complaint lodged with the airline staff. Today morning they got a message that their baggage is traced in Trivandrum and will be reached by the morning flight at 7.30AM and can be collected from Kochi. They went to Kochi Air port at 7.30 AM and they said their baggage is not reached and they could not trace the whereabouts. Their entire wardrobes are in the baggage they are without any changing clothes. Who will answer for this irresponsible handling of baggage and hardship facing to the passengers?

I am a regular traveller from mumbai to goa and bhopla every week in air india.

I had called the senior flight attendent mrs swathi, the snacks was served by ms yadvi, and there were 4 new boys as flight attandentwho were in the flight.

I m a frequent flyer of air India and I always preferred it above other airlines, but Friday the 17th June journey was one of the worst experience for me with this airline.
