Address: Chandigarh

Sir,
I had booked AI flight no. 9808 from jabalpur to delhi through cleartrip.com. As my final destination was chandigarh, acd the above flight was scheduled to reach delhi at 14:55, i booked Go- Air flight no G8-144 scheduled to depart at 17:40 hrs(Trip ID [protected]). My flight to delhi was delayed by 3 hrs and reached delhi at 18:45 hrs and I could not catch the next flight so I got it cancelled.I went to New delhi through metro(Rs. 80/), then ISBT and took volvo bus (fare Rs 475)for chandigarh. As per cleartrip terms and conditions, Rs. 1050 have been deducted from my refund amount. I request you to ask Air India to pay me this amount(Rs. 80+475+1050=Rs.1605/) as i was harrassed by the delay in flight. Also, upto 15:00 hr, the AI call center was giving the status of the flight as "on time" while jabalpur airport no. of Air India were no reply. When i insisted on lodging a complaint, the staff at jabalpur airport refused to take any complaint and asked me to lodge it online.

I have requested Air India compensate me suitably for the inconvenience caused to me through online complaint on airindia.in and the reference number given to me is [protected] .
Hoping for a prompt action pl.

                I booked six tickets in AI-467 for June 16, 2011 (Delhi to Kochi) amounting to Rs. 41010, from online ticket booking system of Air India. However, during the booking my account with ICICI bank has been debited by Rs. 41035 (Rs 41010 for ticket and Rs. 25/- for service provider) but ticket could not be generated. Now i am continuously trying to follow up with Air India but no body is helping me out.

                Kindly suggest me what to do. All the numbers provided by Air India in its web site are of no use.Either they are continuously busy or no giving proper response.

                        I have made booking from Bangalore to Kolkata for 2nd May but due to the Pilot strike the flight was cancelled.

                        I have waited for a long time to get the refund and also called customer care many times but i have not received it till today.

                        Also i am very much displeased with the customer care service.

                        Could you look into it to get full refund of the ticket. Tickets details are mentioned below:

                        I had booked a flight from London to Delhi. They didn't inform me that its cancelled. On their website it showed that my flight will leave on time.
                        And just before few hours I called up makemytrip to confirm my ticket they said that the flight is been cancelled. I am waiting for my refund. I had paid by internet banking. They said I will get the refund in a week. But I doubt their concise.

                          Dear Sir,
                          I booked an Air India Ticket for my son (Rahul Varshney) for three sectors under LTC-80 scheme (as detailed below) at Air India Reservation counter, Ranchi (Jharkhand) on 29.02.2012. However, on 06.03.2012 I cancelled ticket for one sector (Delhi - Ranchi). At that time, I was told that the refund will be given only after completion of remaining journey booked on the same ticket. On 18.04.2012, when I contacted at Reservation counter - Ranchi, some more formality was made and I was told that within a week or 10 days the refund will be credited back to the same Credit Card which was used for the booking. Till date even after passing so much time, I am still waiting to receive the refund. Kindly look into the matter and arrange to get the refund at the earliest, so that I can settle my LTC claim with my office.

                              Dear Sir,

                              On the night of 12th May'2011, I happened to travel by Air India Flight AI 802 fromn Chennai to Delhi. On board, along with meals, I got a scratch card to win prozes. When I did scratch it, I was happy to know that I had won a watch worth Rs 4000 as the AVA Company claimed thew MRP around Rs 4000/-. However, they did not gave it absolutely free. I was charged a sum of Rs 599/- as handling charges. As they claimed the watch was of Rs 4000, I agreed to pay that money and got the watch from AVA shop located at Arrival Hall at Terminal 3 of IGI.

                              My happiness was short lived. I wore that watch only for a day and its sheen started eroding. On searching the net, I got to know that :
                              1. The watch was a counterfeit (the name itself contain an extra L which is next to impossible to judge for an unsuspecting eye.
                              2. The value of watch, s claimed by many people and with the quality it actually turned out, is not more than 200 Rs.

                              So, in nut shell, AVA and Air India CHEATED me by a MISLEADING MODUS OPERANDI OF SELLING COUNTERFEIT WATCH AT A SUM OF 599 AND PRETENDING TO GIVE IT AS A WINNING. Such MALPRACTICE must be stopped and the perpetrator of this FRAUD, should be punished.

                              Thanks

                                It was extremely miserable to book tickets on Air India & be one of your customer as we had to undergo big losses, tremendous pain, agony, mental harassment, professional disgrace & physical fatigue due to the strikes & these cancellations. To ensure our reach to MUSCAT we had reached Tirupati Airport @10 Am for 1420 flight & were waiting endlessly as were given repeated confirmations by your officials that we shall fly by JET AIR to Hyd @ 1645 hrs on 29th (attached AIR INDIA letter) but to our insult & surprise we were not given the boarding pass & some other passenger was given a priority despite our repeated requests to reach to MUSCAT on FRIDAY 29th. We were forced to travel 10-12 hours journey by BUS in late evening (attached Bus ticket) & somehow managed to reach Hyderabad Airport @ 630 AM with severe Back pain, no sleep ,also my wife vomited twice as she has BUS TRAVEL sickness & is still unwell at home. After lots of fight with your counter staff in Hyd finally we managed to get a waiting & later confirmed ticket for OMAN AIR WY236Y @ 1530 hrs for Muscat , for which we are thankful

                                I had to resume my office for a Board meeting with MD & few principles from JAPAN early morning with a presentation on Saturday 30th April & attend a Special 1-day Technical training course (paid by self in Advance) to be attended on Saturday 30th April

                                Please find attached Cash receipt slip towards technical training & other losses summary we have incurred during this delay

                                I had tried to explain this situation to your then Duty Manager Ms Kiran to which she bluntly refused such claims & upon insistence & several request to her for a meeting with you , she kept me waiting for nearly 45 minutes till 1.45 pm at your office entrance door opposite to Toilet door (a zone restricted for non-Airport staff )but finally I left for immigration to Oman Air as I had to board the flight & unfortunately could not meet you

                                Kindly arrange to do the needful towards my loss claim & please let me know from where & when we can collect the same

                                Dear Sir,

                                We are in receipt of your complaint dated 02 May 2011. On investigation we find that there was flight disruption on 29th April and AI941/977 were cancelled due to reasons beyond our control. We are aware that this caused you and family a lot of inconvenience
                                and sincerely regret the trouble you have been put to.

                                As far as compensation goes we are governed by DGCA'S CAR regulations which stipulates what facilities and compensation the passengers of such disrupted flights are eligible for..

                                The Tirupati office has arranged for your surface transport at Air India cost from Tirupati to Hyderabad. We have also authorized full refund of your TIR/HYD ticket.
                                On reaching Hyderabad Airport at 0730 hours the duty manager has arranged for breakfast before accommodating you on WY 236 of 30th April.. Lunch was arranged thereafter and the scheduled time of departure of your flight was 1630 hrs from Hyderabad.

                                As per the CAR regulations you are eligible only for meals/refreshments apart from full refund of your unused tickets. The facilities you have been provided take care of these aspects amply and there seems to be no scope for further compensation.

                                We would like to once again convey our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you have been put to. We would also like you to treat this as an isolated incident ,while assuring you of a more pleasant flight with us in future.

                                  I was holding booking through e ticket (booking Ref. VT26NQ) by Air India Flight AI 601 for a journey on 29th April from Mumbai to Delhi. On 29th April due to Air India strike AI-601 got cancelled and the Airport Authority Officer stamped on my e-ticket for full refund with a verbal assurance by tomorrow morning full ticket amount will be transfer to your account. Please note that I am following it up since 30th of April and refund is not yet credited to my account. Please do the needful and inform me as well so that I could check my account.

                                  Best Regards,

                                    Dear Sir/Madam,

                                    I refer to below mail and subjected ticket reference numbers.

                                    After the below mentioned incidence, while travelling I report to your Nagpur airport office about below incidence and they have assured me that the ticket Ref YGLY1 is cancelled and it will not be charged two times, same they have mentioned in the ticket and shown me remark in your system that this ticket is cancelled, I am attaching herewith copy of ticket with the comments from your executive at Nagpur airport office. I was assured that i will not be charged twice for the duplicate ticket

                                    Thereafter I spoke to credit card people and report them about this incidence and understand that usually airlines/merchant will not claim money for the duplication ticket twice, however if they claim twice we have to pay them as it is out of our control.

                                    Now, after a month I have received my credit card statement and observed that air India has claimed money twice. after speaking to credit card people I understand they are helpless since air India claimed money twice we had to pay them.

                                    Hence I have decided to speak to you ABu Dhabi office as I am residing in Abu Dhabi and have asked me to send an email on [protected]@airindia.in instead of [protected]@airindia.in. Therefore I am coping this mail to both the email ID.

                                    I would request the concern person to look into it urgently and arrange to refund payment against said ticket.

                                    Looking forward for your cooperation.

                                    Thanks and Best Regards.

                                    Dear Sir,

                                    I refer to above mentioned booking references. Yesterday (04th April 2011), I had booked ticket for Nagpur - Mumbai - Dubai online for 06th April 2011. While booking online there was an error occurred saying your booking is not completed successfully. Therefore I booked it again successfully and received massage also that your booking is done successfully. Thereafter I checked my given email and found booking confirmation for both the attempts. If you refer to both above references it is clear that all the details such as Name of travelling passenger, flight time and no and date of travelling are same. The duplication of ticket is happened due to error occurred during booking. To rectify this problem i had called your call center and visited your Nagpur office today to rectify this problem they have recommended me to send you mail on this mail ID and request for refund or reverse the transaction on my credit card. Kindly consider this request and arrange to refund the charges of one ticket or reverse the transaction on my credit card.

                                    Please be informed that I am travelling tomorrow on ticket reference YZWLX. I would request you to consider the request for other ticket reference i.e. YGLY1.

                                    Please feel free to call me on [protected] before 07 O’clock tomorrow morning or on my Dubai no. [protected] after tomorrow evening.

                                    Looking forward for your favorable response.

                                    Thanks and Best Regards,

                                      Air India, several times the cabin crews used to misbehave with the passengers they don't have a minimum manners also since it is a govt organization and hence the job safety, security they are behaving like rogues, the time has come to sack these culprits and make privatize, and penalize them from their salaries, then they will understand, since younger generation from the private airlines are best masters to teach them, how to handle , and behave with the pasne5rs, , millions of rupees wastage because of theese national burden pilots, staffs of the airi India now the time has come to Take the necessary action . why the govt and the ministry of civil aviation is not taking action it is shows clearly that there is commission, middleman involved it is great, Indian drama, the corruption, what Anna hazare can do for this,

                                        i was to travel from air india flight no. AI765 from kolkata to chennai on 27th april 2011. at around 4.00p.m when i was about to leave for the airport i got a message on my mobile that the flight has been cancelled and please call the customer care for other travel arrangements. when i called the air india customer care they confirmed me that the flight has been cancelled and they can shift me to the next day flight to chennai. i told them that it is urgent for me to fly to chennai today itself then they said that they can only refund the full amount in that condition. i had no choice left other than purchasing a new ticket with the other airline. after reaching the airport i bought a new ticket with the indigo airlines with an increased fare of Rs. 1500 compared to my air india ticket. then i went to the air india ticket counter for the cancellation of my ticket where i came to know that they are shifting the passengers to the spice jet airlines. i told the duty manager that this information was not been given to me in the customer care so that i would not have purchased the new ticket with the Indigo airlines. they just listened to it and had no reply. i want the reimbursement of Rs. 1500 which i had to pay to the INDIGo airlines

                                        Induian Airlines — Insufficient compensation after cancellation of flight

                                        Dear sir
                                        I, PS Rawat along with my five family membrs (total 06 members) had booked flight ticketes from Chennai to Port Blair on 14 Nov 09 by IC 549. The return flight tickets was booked from Port Blair to Chennai on 17 Nov 09 by IC 510 and the details are as follows:-
                                        PNR No : RHST3C /IC
                                        Tickets Nos. : [protected] to 694
                                        Date of journey : 17 Nov 09
                                        Mobile No : [protected] / [protected]
                                        e-mail address : [protected]@yahoo.com

                                        The flight was cancelled on 17 Nov 09 after boarding the plane due to tachnical fault . The Indian Airlines authority at Port Blair did not take the responsibility of my accommodation and food till next flight and it was told to me that we will give you a compensation of only Rs 500/- per passanger. However, I paid Rs 500/- per passanger for only accommodation for which I had submited a hotel bill. No compensation for lunch and dinner on 17 Nov 09 was given to me where as I had spent Rs 1450/- for Lunch and dinner and Rs 600/- towards conveyance for to and fro from air port. Beside this expenditure, my train tickets of 17 Nov 09 from Chennai to Ernakumam was also cancelled.
                                        2. May I submit that I the matter was discussed with duty staff of airlins at Port Blair, however, they expressed inability to resolve the issue and suggested to take up the case with higherr authority of Indian Airlines. My graviences of not providing food and shelter to my family after cancellation of flight on 17 Nov 09 may kindly be considered and a minimum compensation for lunch, dinner and conveyance as mentioned at para one above.

                                        Indian Airlines — Flight Cancellation - Reimbursement

                                        Owing to the recent strike by Indian Airlines , My Bhopal - Mumbai flight was cancelled on 3rd of May 2011 . The IA official at the airport gave us the confirmation that entire amount shall be refunded. Even after multiple follow ups still havent recieved any amount though . Pls guide me to the correct authorities , I want to drag these buggers to court .

                                        Alternative flight to jet cost us 15000 Rs .
