Dear Air India Officials, i am writing here as I am really disappointed with the irresponsible behavior from your employees.I recently came from Kathmandu, Nepal (AI216) to Delhi, India. I reached Delhi, India on January 12th. 5:00 PM, where I didn't get my baggage(Tag: AI900685) on belt. I was having three baggage with me and I received only two of them rest one is still I haven't received.There was no senior manager on the Delhi airport, who can help me to understand the issue. Some how when I got one person then he informed me that may be my baggage have been send in another flight. So I will get my baggage by next day, delivered to my home. He also create a irregularity report and provide me the authority number on that. Now since morning I am trying to call them to understand the issue and why I have not received my baggage? But no one is picking the call and answering the call.I have no idea where my bag is, all my belongings are in the bag, and the number which was given to me goes ringing and disconnects. With that i have no clue where my bag is, when it would be delivered... i cant call anyone.. the we tracker gives the status "item located, pending confirmation" - i have no clue what that means. Please help me! this is a lot of inconvenience and i am sitting clueless, i dont know who to contact

    Address: New Delhi, Delhi

    06th January 2015 The most horrifying experience and a perfect way to bring in the New Years – courtesy Air India. I had a flight back to Toronto from Delhi, after a few weeks of vacation with my family. I was supposed to fly back on 6th January 2015 at 06:50 am. I was to fly Air India – AI 115 – from Delhi to London and then Air Canada from London to Toronto. The tickets were booked and confirmed. As usual I was at the airport at 03:45 am - 3 hours before the flight time. Upon reaching the AI counters there was already a long queue because only 3 counters were functioning out of the 12-15. But we all waited for our turns patiently which obviously was taking forever. It was only around 05:15 am that we all started wondering that the queue has hardly moved, some officials made some calls regarding some other flights and took the passengers from the middle with them. But the people flying to London were still waiting and wondering. And when asked, sure enough, none of the officials had any answers and in turn in their rude and unruly behaviour asked us to stay in the line and wait for our turn. As I was unsure of what was going on, I called my parents and asked them to stay on until I was sure, who were still waiting outside the airport for almost 2 hours now. By now we all started realising that there was definitely a screw up and this is the reason why the officials that too hardly 3 of them catering some 100-200 people, had gone mute. So within seconds of their such behaviour the ‘so –called queue’ no longer existed, people started rushing in towards the 3 counters open to understand the situation, and in no time there was a chaos or in literal terms - a local fish market in front of the AI counters. I was a little lost, because I was travelling alone and I was in a fix, because either I could have taken care of my luggage or shoved it aside and somehow made my way to the counters through the crowd. But it dint take long for us to understand when the mum officials of AI finally broke their silence and told us how AI 115 was overbooked and they wont be able to send us on that flight, and will have to accommodate us on another flight. What’s surprising is that – it took them almost 2.5 hours to tell us something they knew all along. They were just playing us passengers. So what came next was not at all surprising - The reactions of the passengers. They were loud screams and shouts and loud voices and people hooting – ‘haye haye air india’ – from each and every side. And those AI officials still had the audacity to speak to us rudely and arrogantly. Anyway, somewhere around 06:45 am (mind you 06:50 am was the time of our actual flight), another official of AI came and asked the other officials to start issuing us the Boarding Passes for the next flight which was at 02:45 pm same day. Yes, this was a little relief, so yet again there was literally a mob attack at those counters – everyone rushing into get their boarding passes before they fill up that flight as well and we are left with nothing. So I called my parents who were still waiting outside and asked them to leave now that I shall be getting booked on a new flight soon. But after all this they refused to trust the air lines so soon and said they would wait until I have it in my hand. So I made my way somehow with my luggage through the crowd to a counter and asked her to issue me a Boarding Pass and informed her how I have a further connecting flight to Canada, only to realise that the 15 other people standing around me were also complaining about the same. And once again the AI supervisor sitting at the counter goes mum. For the next 30 mins she kept taking our passports and tickets and said she is issuing us our Boarding Passes, and upon asking what about the connecting flight, she said she is working on it. I guess it was stupid on our part to trust them once again, thinking that they were honestly trying to figure out something for us. Meanwhile, other passengers only travelling upto London were issued their Boarding Passes for 2:45 pm and were promised a hotel till then and meal vouchers (which they NEVER GOT and I saw them fight for it till the time I was at the airport). And here we were still standing at the counter in hope that we will get ours soon. So guess what happens next – at around 07:30 am (its been 4 hours since we have been at the airport now) – the supervisor who was ‘apparently helping us’ starts explaining the situation to some new official, and that’s when we understand that all this while she has been unable to find any connections for us since all Air Canada flights were fully booked and also how she was unable to contact any AC official. Oh, and why was she explaining all this to the new guy – because the shifts were changing. As soon as we understood the whole situation -there was a fit of rage from all o[censored]s standing on the other side. And we pleaded her to stay on and leave once she is able to fix the situation because she knew what was going on better than anyone else, but she simply walked off. I just used the word plead – but I don’t understand why we had to beg these officials when WE are the passengers and have paid FULLY for these tickets, and its not like they are obliging us. Anyway this is how WAS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF AIR INDIA. Sure enough the new official was clueless and we were impatient, so on repeatedly questioning him he snapped and started behaving in an unruly manner. Anyway soon enough we realised that he was also USELESS – like any other official there, and had failed to provide us any answers and kept us hanging for another hour. So now it was 9 am – we have been at the airport for 5.5 hours with no answers, solutions, boarding passes, food/water being offered – and still victims of foul and impolite behaviour of the AI officials. Finally after 15 mins a senior AI official walks in unaware of what was going on. On learning the situation he promised us that he will figure it out for us in the next 15 minutes. So we believed. And yes my parents were still waiting outside in the cold – so I called them and informed that a senior is here and we might just get lucky now. So, now we are running back and forth with him – from the ticketing counters to the AI counter, and sure enough it dint take 15 mins but good 45 mins. Yes it was 10 am – and I had been at the airport for 6.5 hours – hungry, thirsty, lost, mentally harassed, abused, and HELPLESS – for the first time I dint know where to go, what to do. I had tried raising my voice, tried to talk softly, tried to threaten that will report to social media – tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I broke down. I was tired – very tired. And honestly did not know how long this could go on for – had lost all hopes. And outside my parents were equally impatient, tired and cold. So finally around 10 am my dad – who is an advocate - angry and frustrated called me up and asked me to leave. AI had really tested our patience. And I had to be back in Canada asap because I had work to join. So after another 30 mins of haggling with the senior official – I learnt that he was unable to do anything. There were no connecting flights available uptil the 14th January and that too he wasn’t sure off whether we will get or not, and he refused to provide any further answers or help – but a piece of paper saying that ‘the passenger was offloaded due to overbooking’ – and if I want I can complain basis this paper, but there is nothing more he could do. Oh and cherry on top, while leaving he – ‘a senior official of AI’ himself said that it was our mistake that we booked AI, and now that we did book we need to suffer because this was bound to happen. I was quite shocked at this statement. So after 7 hours of ruthless wait at the airport, and with my parents waiting outside the airport, we decided to leave. And because it was important for me to get back to Canada at the earliest because of my job, we had to book a one way ticket at our own expense for the day after – and this time made no mistake and booked my preferred airline – jet airways. This was my first time flying via AI and MOST DEFINITELY THE LAST. It was the biggest mistake that I could have ever made. The staff and the customer service was really bad, inefficient, had no empathy for their passengers, ruthless, arrogant and ignorant. No one had any care for the time, money or feelings for their passengers and in turn made us feel that it was our mistake. I would honestly advise each and every one of you to think a 100 times before booking AI. It was a MAJOR MENTAL HARRASMENT. And I ended up spending SO MUCH MORE MONEY AND TIME, of which AI has no regret.

          I had booked a round ticket for 2 passengers from Delhi to Kochin 4 months back . I was booked to fly on 24th from Delhi (t3 international airport) . The Air India, AI467 was scheduled to leave delhi airport at 5:55 AM in the morning. For this flight, I had done by web-checking and had 2 seats allocated to me . (6E and 6F) My flight ticket are attached with mail . Ticket numbers: 1.) [protected] 2.) [protected] As per the guidelines, me and my wife at reached the airport at 4:15 AM in the morning (2 hrs. before the flight). When we reached the counter to get the boarding pass, the air india staff told us that we cannot issue the boarding passes as the flight is full . I was taken back and was trying to understand what she meant by this. How can I who has already booked my flight tickets, done a web check in, reached the airport on time was denied a boarding pass. They told me that the flight was over booked and since there is no seat available, no boarding card would be issued. My queries: 1.) How can you overbook a flight. (i[censored] have x seats in a plane how can u book x+y passengers on the same flight.) 2.) How can u deny a passenger a boarding card who has confirmed seats booked, web check-in done. When we discussed this further at the airport with the AIR INDIA official, they gave me 2 stories: a.) Our Air india Online Booking system went wrong and booked more passengers on the same flight b.) Flight to cochin @ 10 AM was cancelled and those passengers were accommodated to 5 :55 AM flight The attitude of the AIR INDIA staff was atrocious, rather than helping the customers they talk to them in a manner that it is our mistake. I am really annoyed by their behavior. I know AIR INDIA Is a government run industry and it would not make much difference to you, but please help serve the Indians better. You treat the indian customers in a bad manner. What happened because of this: a.) I was then given a 1:30 PM flight to cochin which got delayed by 2hrs 30 min .. it actually left delhi at 3:00 PM . I reached cochin at 6:30 PM. b.) The cab I had booked for further journey to ashtmaudi left .. I had to rebook the cab from Cochin airport . Paid 5k extra . c.) I reached the resort at 12 in the midnight. Initially was suspposed to reach the resort by 2 PM. d.) My entire 1st day of the trip was wasted because of AIR INDIA. Because of this stupidity and mistake at your end, I was left stranded at the Delhi airport for 8 hrs and reached my destination 10 hrs late. I want a compensation(for my cab and resort stay) for this mistake at your end and please let me know how can you deny a customer a boarding pass when he has done made a booking, paid the full amount, made a web checkin.

            Address: Kamrup Metropolitan, Assam

            I (Deepanwita Dutta) am a Ph.D. student of IIT Guwahati. I had booked my Air India flight tickets (Gau- Del, Del-Heathrow(London), Heathrow-Del, DEl-Gau) through a travel agent (Jayanta, Jungle travels). I had to attend 2 back to back conferences, one at King's College London from 2-6 Dec, 2014 and another at IITG from 8-12 Dec. 2014. My Del-Gau flight was on 8th Dec 2014 at 11:30 am. But after reaching Delhi at 10:08 am, I was told that the flight has been preponed to 10:30 am and I cannot board the flight as I am late. Even after repeated requests, they didnot allow me. What is more shocking is that the manager on duty that day (with the name Ashok or Arjun or something like that) refused to give me the boarding pass for the next day saying that they couldnot inform me as my contact info was not available with them and it is the sole responsibility of the travel agent to inform me. They were giving tickets for the next day to the other passengers. I had already got the tickets for the next day, but the manager on duty refused me the boarding pass. The travel agent people also gave similar answer saying that it is the fault of the airline. I had given my contact details and email address to the travel agent. The entire day (upto 4:00 pm, this can be checked from the register at Delhi Airport) I was at the Airport running from Gate no 1 to E block. I want to know where is my fault in the entire episode. And why the flight needed to preponed? How am I to know about that ? Is it not the duty of Air India to care for the customers and make other arrangements. Only one seat was available at Spice Jet that day : price was 27, 000. The minimum fare for the next 2 days was arround 36, 000 (only available in Air India). Is it possible for a student to pay such a huge money after spending so much money on Accomodation at London. My question is what arrangements the Airlines had made for my stay ? Isn't my security their responsibility. As a result of whims of some Air India officials (particularly the manager on duty that day) I had to suffer. I missed my Conference. Who will bear the flight ticket cost + Conference fees that I missed = 15, 000 + 4000 ? Why should I bear the loss with no fault of mine ? From whom I should demand the compensation? DAE conference is a very prestigious conference held once every 2 years. My Ph.D. defence was arranged on 15th Dec. and my supervisor had to go on leave 2 days later (on 17th). So, I was about to get my degree after my supervisor sign my my final thesis. But though I defended my thesis, I couldnot get time to hard bind my thesis before 17th. So, I have to wait for 1 more month to get my degree. We have to travel by Air India as we have no other option. We receive DAE funding for Air fare (only if we board, that also one time) and this is the DAE criteria. Air India should take care that mostly students and govt. officials use this flight. So, if the schedule is changed entire plan gets changed. I wrote the statement made by the Manager in a paper. I had taken the Air India stamp at the paper. I am going to file an RTI asking who was responsible for this (my problem) : Air India, the travel agent or I myself.

                Address: New Delhi, Delhi

                I was a connecting flight with Air India on 21st Dec 2014 (Flight No. AI 401) from IGI Airport, New Delhi to Kolkata, My flight with KLM (Flight No. 0871) was landed at New Delhi Airport at 21st Dec 2014 1:20 AM (Delayed by 10 minutes, due to bad weather and no. of operational runway at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam) my connecting flight was at 7:00 AM. After midnight around 3:00 AM I got a call from +[protected] and the person from the other side claiming he is calling on behalf of Air India and informed me that due to technical problem my flight AI 401 is delayed by 2:30 hour and the new schedule for my flight is at 9:30 AM, I also ask the person is the time is final or is there any further delay to be expected? The person assured me there is no further delay and apologies for the delay. I already have a 5:50 minutes gap in between and already traveled more than 8 hour from Göteborg Landvetter Airport, Sweden via Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. I take the boarding pass on 21st Dec 2014 around 6:00 AM there is no refreshment offered by Air India staff at the Check-in desk due to the flight delay. One of my colleague is also travelled with me informed me that the staff at the Check-in desk informed him go to the Gate No. 27B and meet the Regional manager and show the boarding pass and he will give a free meal coupon. We proceed to gate no. 27B and there was no Air India official available. Then we ask the Air India official at gate No. 28B and she told me regional manager should be available at the check-in desk, there was another manager there just few miniature back but she can’t locate him and ask us to talk to him at gate No. 28 after some time. We take some food and waiting in front of Gate 39B from where the flight scheduled to be takeoff. Around 7:00 AM one guy from Air India comes there and informed us if we like some breakfast the go to a designated restaurant at the next floor and show the boarding pass, by that time we didn’t have any more energy left to go there. At 8:50 AM they started boarding and my seat was at the rear of the aircraft so I got the chance first to board, as soon as I board I put my luggage and settled on my seat, put my seat belt and fall on sleep. Around 9:45 AM I wake up by an announcement by the captain that they are deplane one passenger and flight will be delayed by indefinite time. We wait some more time and finally at 10:30 AM some of the passengers including me lose our patience and go to the flight attendant near to our seat and ask what is happening, at first he told us the delay is due to bad weather, when I told if it’s due to bad weather then how only Air India effected by this, I checked the departure board and seen excepted our flight other two flight one is also belongs to Air India again (to Bhubaneswar) and another flight to Chennai by another Pvt. Airline is delayed but all other flights are on schedule. The his next answer is shocked us he told us actually one of the passenger traveling by business class had a argument with the captain and didn’t want to travel in the flight due to the flight delay and the captain decided to deplane the passenger and due to that all his check-in luggage which is already in the cargo going to be removed and all the security procedure is going to happened again. One of my co passengers has a connecting flight to Guwahati from Kolkata and he asked what happening to me and the guy coolly answered worry Air India don’t will compensate for loss (What they think we Indian don’t have a value for time ?). Another passenger traveling by the same flight is coming to attend a Funeral and he already returned home once from the mid way by getting the same phone call and almost abusing Air India by that time. There was also some foreign traveler on the same flight; I didn’t know what kind of impression it reflects on them. At last at 11:05 AM the captain announced that the flight is ready for takeoff and finally at 11:15 AM the flight finally takeoff for Kolkata. I sleep again and wake up when the flight attendant ask me for the food. At last the captain announces to take the seat belt and prepare for landing and we thought our beautiful journey comes to the end, but we are not so lucky after couple of minute the captain announces again that the flight didn’t get ATC clearance for landing and the ATC ask to hold the current position and after 5 to 7 minute of waiting, finally the flight proceed for landing and our journey came to an end. It’s totally out of my mind that how the captain decided deplane the passenger and keep all o[censored]s waiting such a long time where the flight already delayed by 2:30 hour. After all this they said sorry before leaving the flight (Such a magnificent word in English, Does this really justified.)

                  my air India flight AI466 from Tvm at 6am to Kochi at 6.45am was delayed by one hour, from TVM to Kochi. hence I missed my INdigo flight which was leaving at 8.05am from Kochi to Mumbai. though I was promised by Air india customer repetedly that I would be accomodated free of cost by the airport duty manager in any other private airline, noone helped me. i had to buy another ticket which was steeply priced.(Rs 8500). The irony of this is it was an air india ticket that I bought from Kochi to Mumbai on missing my original indigo flight because of Air Indias delay from Tvm to Kochi. In spite of their promises to accommodate me free of cost in any available flight, they did not accommodate me in their own flight, free of cost! Jerry.

                    I had booked a ticket to travel on 8th Dec by Air India AI466 that leaves from TVM at 6am and reaches Kochi at 6.45am. My next flight was an Indigo flight from Kochi at 8.05am to Mumbai at 9.55am, where I had to join for work as early as possible. However, on 7th December night, I was informed that my next day's flight from Tvm to Kochi was delayed by one hour. I expressed my despair about missing my flight from Kochi. However, I was assured that the airport duty manager would accomodate me in whichever other carrier flight available. But in reality, this never happened. The duty managers expressed their inability in doing so. They said the only option available was for me to buy a new ticket. My experience this far had my aprrehensions up about Air India. Hence I was afraid to take a ticket with any other flight. I booked a ticket with Air India itself, paying the full amount of Rs 8500. My Indigo flight ticket had been booked about two months early, when they were offering discounted fares. Hence this ticket, being a special fare ticket was non refundable, and non cancellable. After all these hefty expenses, the irony is this Kochi to Mumbai Air India too reached late, thus making me very very late for work.

Again i tried to book the ticket with different date and it again showed the ERROR message. I tried for the third time and ERROR message was shown on your website for third time also.

                          Hi All, On 30th Sep 2014 I have booked a connecting flight in Air India from Baroda to Delhi then Delhi to Bbhubaneswar. Below are the details when I booked first Travel Date - 27th Nov 2014 Baroda to Delhi - 8:35am-departure Delhi to bhubaneswar - 11:15am departure Last week I received a call from Air India and they mentioned that the flight from Baroda is cancelled and without my knowledge they booked my ticket by 09:15pm flight.I argued then they booked my ticket from Ahmedabad but time is 8:15am . And i got e-mail confirmation too . But on 10th Nov 2014 I received and e-mail where I saw the flight from the Delhi is pr-pond.Instead of 11:15am the fight will depart by 07am . If I leave ahmedabad by 8:15 then how could I go bhubaneswar in 7:am flight from Delhi . I have all e-mails handy . When I called the customer care today in the morning, they shared the Delhi airport customer service number and asked me to request them to change my flight to a pvt flight .This should be done by Airindia not me . Now nobody is picking up the call in the Delhi Airport customer care . Please help me in this regard.Both Air India and makemy trip putting me a problem.I have booked the tickets through makemy trip .

After completing the security check we waited for 10mins and at 6:17PM i got the message from AIR INDIA that the flight is rescheduled at 9:45pm. i Had a trian at 11:35PM from nagpur to bhatapara same day and bcoz of this cancellation my whole schedule was disturbed and after complaining to the crew member the staff just told as that the flight is delayed due to some foolish reason and you have to stay and when we asked to leave the airport one of the crew member starts yelling and shouting and after all this the crew members told us what u will be doing outside stay here only or u can cancel your fight. Canceling the flight doesnt means the problem is solved

                                  i had purchased an air ticket from Delhi to Imphal through LTC on their Air India website for travel on 18 Oct 14. However, I had to cancel the ticket on 10 Oct 14. I was told that I would be getting my refund very soon. However, no refund has been given to me so far. I had written several emails but have not got any reply. I tried calling their customer care but my call was not picked up. I am an Air Force Officer and I am disappointed with the nature of the functioning of the Government airline.

                                    My E-TICKET NUMBER:[protected] NAME OF PASSENGER: SENTHILMURUGAN/RAJASEKAR Initially when i booked my Ticket from Chennai - Singapore on Oct 27th 2014 the Flight AI 342 was scheduled to depart from Chennai at 00.45 IST (Oct 27th 2014). Later the Flight AI 342 was changed to AI 346 and re-scheduled to 11.25 IST AM Oct 27th 2014 to depart from Chennai to Singapore. Now again the Flight AI 346 is re-scheduled to 13.05 IST PM Oct 27th 2014 from Chennai to Singapore. When i tried reaching the Customer Care they refused to provide any refund saying that since the Flight is a International Flight and delayed less than 2 hrs no refund can be provided. But when i booked my Ticket it was suppose to be @ 1.10 AM IST on Oct 27th 2014. Kindly help me in getting the refund. Thanks & Regards, Senthil Murugan Email: [protected]@gmail.com

But my uncle was not feeling well, so Air India officials themselves refuse to board him on the plane & confirm for full refund. As Air India themselves had cancelled the ticket, we are also expecting full refund. We had booked tickets via a local agent. We have not got full refund yet. We are expecting full refund.

                                        Hi, I (Vishal Kumar) had a flight (AI440) for tomorrow (26th Oct 2014) scheduled for departure from Chennai to Delhi at 0640 hours. However, I got an email stating the flight is delayed by 4 hours and has been re-scheduled for departure at 1045 hours. I have some important meetings lined up and can't afford to travel late. I had called up the customer care and I was told to contact Chennai Air India Airport Authorities. My concern here is why the passenger needs to call so many authorities to get this moving and why is that the Air India can't take the responsibility of ensuring giving proper service to it's customer??? I wish someone from Air India calls me up and make necessary arrangements to ensure I travel on time. My contact no. is [protected]. However, I don't have much expectation from Air India service as it's known for taking things for granted. However, being an Indian Citizen I still have faith in Consumer Complaints Department to look into this matter seriously. Regards, Vishal
