Air India — Air tickets

I had booked tickets of Air India from there website for 5th July '09 but when i went there to check in & collect my boarding pass they told me that my tickets has been cancaled & i have to book fresh tickets. There was no intimation by the Air India team of cancellation. I had to send Rs 6000.00 for the same tickets which i had purchased for Rs 2300.00
i agree with your statement boss, same thing happend with me the only thing is my ticket was award ticket for the FF programme carried with Air India. I had purchased the said award ticket from air india on exchange of mileage point earned. i had rescheduled it ( which was allowed for n number of times during whole year ) the latest reschduling was done for 10 sept 09. when i called up the Air india ticketing authority on 9th evening by 7.00 pm, i was informed that the ticket has been cancelled by the air india authority same day by 12.44 pm. the cancellation was done without any information to me and any reason justifiable reason. when i called up the authorities nobody was able to justify the reason behind the same.

this is what air india is capable of doing and is creating its repo in it.

Indian Airlines Ticket Cancellation — Poor and helpless response for refund of tickets regarding

This is regarding the ridiculous answer and attitude of indian airlines towards handling the cancellation case. I canceled 2 flight tickets from DEL-TRV and TRV-DEL on 25-Oct-2010. Today is 02-Nov. Their website says "
Incase refund amount not refunded within 4-5 days please contact helpdesk.[protected]@indian-airlines.nic.in". I have contacted in time and my mail was not replied. I called their customer care (Delhi) on on 02-Nov. They seem not handling the calls professionally and thats quite acceptable being a govt undertaking airlines. The Gentle man (who did not introduce himself) told me it takes min of 45 days to get the refund, which made me get angry. Then the gentleman took somebody else's help and informed me it is 2 to 3 weeks. Still am not quite convinced with the response. Why not these guys send an email once I canceled the tickets, with the message of confirmation with the details of deadlines they will meet? Why are they not sticking to deadlines? Why such airlines charge huge cannot provide a quality/responsible customer care? Confirm yourself that your trip is damn confirmed before you proceed with them. If there is any likely that you will cancel, then prefer those private players who give a better service. At least you wont be offended by them. Let me see when I get the refund.
I am deeply hurt and offended. It is my decision now that never again travel with them. Donno.

    My family of 4 (self, wife and my parents) decided to travel the Trivandrum-Mumbai sector on 28th October 2009 owing to it's convenient timing. As the aircraft was readying to taxi off, the Airhostess announced that the flight will land at Kochi. What was a non-stop 2 hour flight became an arduous 5 hour flight with horrendous service. All the lights in the cabin along with the airconditioning would switch off when the engines were being started. The In Flight Entertainment System was not functional, and consequently, the Attendant call switch was not functional. If the hardship faced during flight was not sufficient, the slamdown at Mumbai brought down one of the overhead service panels (picture attached).

    The confusion did not end there, It took almost 15 minutes for doors to be opened. Bypassing immigration for domestic passengers took ages as there was only one person manning the counter (and no order). Baggage claim was no better with baggage being on different belts to what was shown on the display.

    Had I been informed about the change of flight details before boarding, i would have claimed a refund and opted for another flight. Why Should I pay Air India for service not rendered?

      PNR: Visakhaptanam – Chennai (IC 7601): RK6Z6H
      PNR: Chennai – Abu Dhabi (IX 613): IX05385189
      Name of passenger: Sharad Rai

      I am writing this in the hope that customer care by Air India will be taken more seriously and that hapless passengers are not made a scapegoat, especially when the passenger is not responsible for the situation. Due to the callousness of the airline manager in Visakhapatnam and his false assurance, I went through a horrible experience during my recent return flight to Abu Dhabi. (Detail account below).

      However, I would like to state that, when an airline sells its ticket to a passenger, then it should also take responsibility when it fails to fulfill its duty (Delays/Non-Operation etc) and not cause further harassment to the passenger. I am aware that Air India Express is the low budget Flight operating to the Middle East, but it is still a subsidiary of Air India and I found it strange that instead of trying to get me to my destination, the manager in Chennai had to point this out to me and offer options that were neither feasible nor realistic in my situation.

      The delay and subsequent cancellation of the domestic flight was due to the airline not being in position to operate its flight, which resulted in me missing my connecting flight. (This was the third consecutive day where Air India was having a problem with their flight from Visakhapatnam to Chennai. On 15th the flight was cancelled, on 16th the flight took off at 1030hrs and after flying for 25 mins had to land back to Visakhapatnam due engine problem and again took off at 1630hrs). Hence, I expected them to help me out with my situation and not aggravate the problem further and mete such treatment for no fault of mine.

      The mental trauma, the loss of time and sleep and the anguish that I faced cannot be compensated in any form or kind, but as a good gesture to your customer for the inconvenience faced, it will be highly appreciated, if you could at least compensate the cost for the transport from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.

      DETAILED ACCOUNT

      Return Flight booked as follows:

      17.10.09: VTZ (Visakhapatnam) to MAA (Chennai) with IC 7601 departure 0830 hrs
      Ticket No:[protected]Scanned copy attached)

      17.10.09 MAA to AUH (Abu Dhabi) with XI 613 departure 1250 hrs
      Ticket No: IX[protected]Scanned copy attached)

      0700 hrs: After checking in for the flight to Chennai, we were informed that flight IC 7601 to Chennai was delayed and was rescheduled for departure at 0915 hrs.

      0930 hrs: Boarding finally started and then while the aircraft was still in the runway, the pilot made an announcement that there was a snag in the engine and that all passengers have to disembark. At this point we were informed that the flight would be ready within half an hour. However, this did not happen.

      1000 hrs: Passengers were informed (pacified) with the information that they would be put in another flight, which was arriving from Delhi at 1325 hrs.

      Since my onward flight to Abu Dhabi from Chennai was at 1250 hrs and on hearing that the next flight departing VTZ was due at 1325 hrs, I immediately went and approached the Manager on duty and requested for assistance. I was assured by the Manager that an alternate arrangement would be made and that he would inform Air India in Chennai and noted my onward flight details. Before leaving Vizag, the Manager again told me that he has informed the Air India Manager in Chennai and that I should meet him after landing there. I requested him for a copy of the communication regarding the information passed to his colleague in Chennai, so that I could show them on arrival, but he told me that he had passed the message verbally(by telephone) and I need not worry.

      1450 hrs: Landed in Chennai and I straight away went and approached the Air India Manager on Duty (Mrs. Preeti.), she told me that she had not received an information from Visakhapatnam and that I should go and meet the Air India Express Manager as it was an international flight that I had missed.

      So I went and met the duty manager of Air India Express (Mr. Natarajan), who told me that he cannot do anything as the delay was due to domestic flight and I should approach them. I again approached Mrs. Preeti and asked for assistance, as I did not know, who else to approach. She called Mr. Natarajan, who told her that he cannot issue a ticket for another flight as the ticket which I had bought was of a low budget carrier and that I had two options, either wait for the next Air India Express flight which was on Tuesday or buy a new return ticket from Chennai to Abu Dhabi. Both options were not acceptable to me, as I had to join duty on 18th Oct and I did not have sufficient money to buy a new ticket and since I was stranded in a strange city, where I did not have any one to ask for assistance, I was not in position to accept either of the options. After this Mrs Preeti contacted some higher officials and also made some calls to various officers on duty etc, the Air India Express Manager finally agreed to accommodate me in the Indian Airline flight IC 905 to Dubai which was departing at 2000 hrs. Since I did not have any other option, I agreed to take this flight (Ticket attached).

      2000 hrs: Boarded IC Flight to Dubai, which landed at 1045hrs (UAE time) and from there I had to take a Taxi to Abu Dhabi, which is about 2 hours drive. I reached my residence at 0100 hrs (local Time) and paid 295 Dirhams (approximately Rs.3900).

        Last night (technically, this morning) I had to send a package by cargo to Hyderabad from Chennai. I went to Chennai's Air India Cargo Division with a couple of my friends at about 1.30am. First of all, I had trouble finding the cargo office inside the Airport premises as there are no sign boards of any sort. This is NOT the complaint. India being my 'motherland', I have gotten used to asking passers-by for directions and not rely on signboards and addresses. It took about half an hour to find the place, but that's OK. As I said, I have gotten used to this.

        So I found the place at about 2am. There were people waiting outside the cargo office but I couldn't find a way in. Then I was told that the office is closed. I was obviously shocked because Air India Cargo is supposed to work 24/7 and also it was really important for me to send the package. I went the window and found people sleeping inside with the AC on. I started banging on the window to wake them up and a man in his early 40s opened the door. When I asked him why they aren't working, he actually said, "Don't we people need food and rest? Come after 4am. Don't disturb till then".

        The people waiting outside were probably too kind to disturb the officers who were 'resting' or may be they have gotten 'used' to the idea. But I haven't and I don't want to. I don't know how this blog/ forum works, who checks these posts and takes action. I actually don't care about taking action because I know everyone will eventually get used to everything. But here is my piece of advice: When you're in a hurry to send a cargo late in the night, DO NOT GO TO AIR INDIA CARGO.

        End of the story - I sent my package through Jet Cargo spending an extra 100 rupees, which means a lot to me.

            Dear Sir,

            I have been victim of very very poor service delivered by Air India. after everything happened i had informed to Airindia and did complaint to Air india General manager Mr. Sanjeev Kumar.

            after a month later (when i submitted the compaint), i recieved a apology letter from air india official and they closed the matter themself. however i was never satisfied with their reply and sent another email to get my money back which Air india has robbed from me through their foul mean. I kept on sending emails but Air India is in a sound sleep. they really didnt bother about responding the email and pacify a claimant. however this kind of poor service cannot be accepted and i therefore request your organisation to get hold of Air india as one side they have made the terrible mistake which turned into nightmare for me on top of that dont even bothered to answer my emails.

            Below, I have given all the detail and complaint which I forwarded to Air india to sort out but unfortunately it seems that Air india doesn't want to sort this out unless external pressure. if you organisation required any other information from myself please do not hesitate to contact me thorugh email which i have provided on your system.

            I am writing to you in connection with my recent flight (UK to India) on Air India. I regret to tell you that I have never seen such a bad organisation like Air India. I took a return ticket (“Heathrow – Amritsar”, “Amritsar – Delhi – Heathrow” e-ticket ref. J8HW5). I bought this return ticket from Air India website. Below, I have explained the hassle that your Air line (Air India) has caused me:

            I was told that it is a return ticket for Heathrow-London/ Amritsar and on my return the flight will come via Delhi. On 26th Apr’09 when I went to Amritsar airport to get my flight, Air India personal told me a different story that up to Delhi I have to travel as a domestic passenger and I have to again go through the security check, check-in everything. And this was very first time I have ever seen such a poor service like this. I was expecting a comfortable journey on my return, however it turned out into a nightmare for me.

            After having 7 hour stay at Delhi airport (hanging around, killing the time) when I went for re-check at Air India counter, the officials at the counter demanded for extra money (Airport Tax). I asked the reason for extra fee, as I got the on-line ticket and paid for it well in advance (any extra amount that I was supposed to pay should have been deducted while I was booking the ticket online), there seems no reason for me to pay an extra amount. The gentleman replied in “typical Indian tone” that “it was a responsibility of your travel agent to get proper fair including all taxes and Air India can not do anything in this and you have to pay extra money”. No doubt the gentleman (Airline Supervisor/organiser on behalf of Air India Airline) was dim-witted as I had explained to him that I purchased the ticket through Air India website rather than through travel agent (showed him E-ticket), and I had not been contacted by Air India for extra payment. On top of that, it is the responsibility of Air India to inform me if this is the case (where I have to pay extra @ airport while taking my return flight although this would still be illogical from the Airline perspective as I had a return ticket). I had no prior information that I have to pay extra money like this (no emails, phone call was made to make me aware about such situation). It took 45 more minutes for me to apprise Air India Airline supervisor @ Airport that I was not aware of this and also I didn’t had any money in my pocket to pay the extra fee and requested to help me. The supervisor reply was still the same that “we cannot do anything and you have to pay or you miss the flight, and asked me to arrange from somewhere”. As I have no money into my pocket but I had my debit card with me and I was ready to pay by my debit card but in 21st century when world is looking to go beyond *Moon and Mars* Air India Airline still not have facility to accept debit or credit card but just Cash. Because it was a card from United Kingdom bank and for security reasons I was only able to pay by my card as I can’t withdraw any money outside United Kingdom.
            In the meantime while when I was requesting @ the counter and trying to sort out my problem, an another passenger came out of line and abused me because it took 5-6 minutes @ check in counter (how disgusting was it , yes it was). He had no right to speak to me like this as he should tell his problem to airline if there was any, but still all this happened because of poor management of Air India Airline.

            When Air India Airline didn’t show anything which is known as a customer service I have to be a beggar and borrowed money from another kind passenger who was coming to London Heathrow on the same flight.

            It is neither written anywhere nor have I informed by airline to pay extra @ the time of check in. Then why Air India demanded more money and put me in trouble.

            Finally, when I managed to arrange money and went to Air India office to pay money (unnecessary requested money), the official was having his “Tea and Pakora” and whispering that public is not letting him eat his “Pakora”. 1st he was having food @ the time of his duty and secondly he was whispering. If he was on break then why he was still having the charge and if he wasn’t on break how come he was having “Tea and Pakora” @ the time of his duty and on top of that whispering that why public is asking him to do anything. This was the level of service which is being delivered by Air India Air line which I had witnessed.


            It is sad and unfortunate to see such officials at the International Airport, bringing disrepute to our country known for its hospitality, humbelness, and treating customer/guest as a God. It is also giving a reflection to the visitors/foregienrs about the poor customer service provided by an airline carrying the name of INDIA. It is the word of praise that can get you more customers and also vice versa. I hope such incident will not be repeated in near future with any domectic or International customer of the Airlines. I demand for Air India apology, any extra money which Air India has taken through unfair means and also I should be compensated for such terrible service and unpleasant journey.

            In anticipation of an appropriate reply at the earliest possible convinience

                Dear Sir,

                I was to travel from New York to Mangalore. I had an AIR flight from New York to Mumbai and from Mumbai to Mangalore through Kingfisher.The flight number was AI140 schedulded on 12 SEP 21:30.
                The Air India officials at New York confirmed to me that it was through check in and i can collect baggage at my final destination Mangalore. I had my own doubts about it so i confirmed with another officials too. But when i was booking my domestic ticket for Kingfished on arrival to Mumbai they said that i had collect the baggage from International Airport. I contacted the AIR India Officials and they said the same. However none of the officials helped me even though the fault was that of AIR INDIA. I contaced the Manager at 1A terminial in domestic airport and i had to wake him up as he was sleeping. He too was of little help. Then i collected the luggage with difficulty by convincing the cops. It was an nightmare experience as i made to next flight just in time. Neither did any of the AIR India officals apologised nor did they help in anyway.

                Sub: Complaint for missing (Stealing) of Digital Camera DCS40-SONY S40 while travelling from Singapore to Mumbai in AI 443 flight dated on[protected].

                Respected Sir,

                I, the undersigned, logging a complaint for my digicam of above mentioned configuration, which is found missing from our luggage, while travelling from Singapore to Mumbai in AI 443 flight dated[protected]. This obnoxious incident had taken place at the Singapore Airport. Before boarding the flight at Singapore, I was called and showed that our luggage bag (containing the camera) was wrapped in the plastic with the chain completely broken and torned. I was told that it is due to overloading of the bag, that the chains got busted. So I agreed completely that time. And after seeing the bag in Mumbai, it was very shocking to see that bag was deliberately broken to steal the camera as there was neither our lock nor clip of the chain tied to the bag. I am damn sure that the Singaporean Air India staff who showed us our bag were involved in this racket.

                We feel very sad as we have lost all our photos & other memory of Singapore as those were inside the camera.

                This should be a matter of concern as we trust the Air India staff & authorities and believe that our belongings are safe with them.

                I have already submitted the written complaint to Mr.Swami/Bhalekar the staff of Air India, Mumbai.

                Please find the details of camera as mentioned below:

                Model: DCS40-SONY S40
                Colour: Silver
                Colour of Camera cover: Black
                Contents: 512MB memory card in the camera & 256 MB card in camera cover

                Other details are as follows:
                Passport Number: E 4354558
                Flight Number: AI 443
                Boarding Date:[protected]
                Seat Number: 13E

                Please do the needful to get the same camera back with our memory card.
                At least please try to send or publish our photos of Singapore at Pcasa or similar web site.

                  Dear Sir,

                  I had a made a booking to fly from BKK to MAA and return, and my PNR number was HNB5Q.

                  The out bound was on 27th Aug,2009 and the return was on 06th Sep,2009. I had travelled the outbound to BKK on the said date and due to some circumstances I could not make the return on the 6th Sep, so on the 2nd Sep I mad the booking cancel and changed the date to 7th Sep, and was told that I had been waitlisted, on the 5th Sep, I again confirme the customer care and was told that the ticket was confirmed and I need to pay the Date change fees of Rs.500 at the time of check in.

                  On the 7th when I tried to check in at the BKK airport, the counter informed me that the Booking was not updaed on their system of Thai Airways as the flight was operated by Thai, at the same time since the flight was at 09:20 PM I had come to airport at 06:30 PM, and there were no personal at the AIR INDIA counters too, my repeated trial to contact the local office at BKK failed and there was no help from the AIR INDIA Chennai Airport OFFICE. I was given a proof of my iteneary by the Thai Dear Sir,

                    This is with reference to the in-flight on board experience when I traveled thru' Air India AI 348 from New Delhi to Shanghai on 18th Aug 2009. We had made the bookings thru Thomas Cook, and had made special meal & Bassinet seat requests done telephonically on 16th Aug 2009

                    I had an Infant of 2 months travelling with me, on calling up the toll free no. - [protected] of AirIndia from Indore, India, I was told that we are not allowed to carry any baby food in the cabin baggage and all the requisite things needed to feed the baby would be served on board and I need to place a request for these upfront. Hence I had requested for Lactogen 1, Boiled Water and skimmed milk to be served since the baby was completely prescribed by the Doctor to be fed formula milk only.

                    On the 18th Aug 2009, when I asked the crew for the baby feed, they said they have not been served the same from the caterers. However, the meal request was placed and very much there on the charts(passenger lists) that the crew carried inflight. I was such a horryifying experience on board. The baby was not fed for the entire journey of 5 hrs and 48 mins. Also there was a delay in flight departure from New Delhi. The infant had major trouble travelling and was crying bitterly for food. The crew sounded helpless and were shunning away from their responsibility of representing the airline and said it was not their mistake as the caterers didnt supply. At the time of landing also, the crew did not bother to arrange for the feed at the Airport.

                    It was a nightmare as a mother for me to pacify the baby. I could not believe how an airline could be so callous and casual about their approach towards hospitality that too with infants. It was one outrageous experience I have ever had and the baby could not sustain the hunger for such a long time. I was not able to eat food myself. I have a few questions for which I need answers.
                    How could an error of this nature happen?
                    Are you really taking care of you customers on board?
                    Are you all really serious about the special request that they make?
                    Is it worth charging so much when you dont serve what is desired?
                    Dont you check the inventory of caterers before the flight takes off.
                    How is an infant supposed to sustain 6 hrs of long distance journey without feed?
                    Is the crew responsible enough to own their/airlines/caterers mistakes?
                    I want the airline to repay me back the air fare and adequately compensate for the losses of health, sore throat of the baby due to constant crying and the trauma which I underwent as a parent, not being able to help my child.

                    This is really horrible management by Air-India. I am very sure that nobody from the airline will even bother about such matters. I also had bad experiences while travelling with Air India and made a onboard complain but with no reply.
                    But this situation is really really sorrowfull. Indians(may not be all) please change ourselves. Dont run away from the responsibilties, value other-s feelings, be sincere, keep some ethics. We must learn from Japanese people in this regard.

                      My neighbour, who also happens to be one of the landlords, keeps stray dogs inside the building in the passage outside our doors and also on the staircase. She places food and water in the passage for them to feed on. This causes quite a nuisance to us as the entire area stinks, I get ticks crawling on the walls of my appartment sometimes and most people get scared to enter the building and so often we do not get our mail from couriers or my messages from my company as the couriers/ despatch riders are scared of coming home.

                      I have requested her several times but to no avail and when i shoo the dogs out, or pour some eucalyptus oil in the passage to neutralise the stink, she starts yelling and saying that as she's is the landlord, she can do whatever she likes in the common areas such as passages and staitcases. I have tolerated her nonsense for well over a year and now it's getting worse. Can you please help? Surely there must be a law that if you have a dog it should me kept in your own house and not outside someone else's? How can I get her to remove these dogs from the passage and staircase?

                        Hi,

                        I booked a ticket thro Air india website from Singapore to India. While booking the ticket it prompted to create an account. Since it is only account creation I entered my name and other details. I indent to book a ticket fort my brother bu the ticket got generated in my name. Now I want to change the passenger name. Air india call center customer executive and Chennai city office executives asy it is not possible to change the name of the passenger if booked online. Why is this so?. They are asking me to cancel the ticket. I will loose huge amount for cancellation. Is there any way to change the passenger name?

                        Air india service is the worst. Just don't know why our nation carried doing this way. i was booking the ticket for my wife( she doesn't have any last name in her passport) but the in air india site both fore name and last names are manadtory so i put my last name in the filed. Now the air india is saying althought both the fileds are manadotory but if you dont have any fore name or last name then you should put mr mrs in that filed. is it justified. Also they are behaviong rudely while talking to them. any idea what should be done in this case

                          I had sent my complaint to email address given to me by the helpline executive as they informed me that there is no system of registereing the complint at helpline nos. I had sent the complaint as given below. However, I am yet to get a reply. Please suggest me the name and address of the officer who is responsible for overseeing customer complaint so that I can file an application under RTI act to find out the result of my email.

                          I travelled on IC 863 on 16.7.2009 from Delhi to Mumbai at seat 18F.
                          However, to my surprise I was informed by the flight attendant that due to shortage, I can not be served meals. This makes non availability of promised service to me for which I have paid. Please reimburse me the cost immediately but not later than 28.7.2009 failing which I shall have no option but to move to consumer forum. This may also please be treated as my notice in this regard.

                          However, I have not received any reply in this regard so far. Can you look into the matter? I need to resolve the matter at the earliest. Please also treat this as my final notice to you under consumer protection act.

                            If we book ticket Air ticker in http://www.airindiaexpress.in using credit card, we have to give the front and back side of the credit card. Which is against the RBIs "Customer's confidentiallity". This may lead to fradulant usage of the credit card. This should be stopped with the immediate effect.

                              I had Purchased a return Ticket for my Mother in law from Ahmedabad- Mumbai- Atlana to back to Mumbai-Ahmedabad.
                              She had Air India ticket for Mumbai to Ahmedbad. When My MIL arrived Mumbai on June-13-2009 and show the Itinery at AirIndia counter in Mumbai to get a Boarding pass.
                              Here is the conversation:
                              (My MIL is aged and can speak only Gujarati; and un/fortunetly the agent was gujarati)
                              Air India agent: Are you travelling alone?
                              My MIL said: yes.
                              Agent: Show me yr Itinery.
                              My MIL show the Itinery.
                              Agent: You don't have reservation. We can't issue you a Boarding pass.
                              My MIL: Ben, you must be sleeping. Wake up and read the itinery properly.
                              Agent: I can't see yr record in my Computer.
                              My MIL: Your computer must have broken. Fix it. I am not gonna leave without Boarding pass.

                              They argued a lot.
                              Agent offer to provide the train ticket. My MIL refuses.
                              After 30 min long conversation at Midnight, Agent ask other guy to get the photocopy of the Itinery.
                              When the other guy came back with photocopy, Agent check again in computer and issued the Bording pass.

                              How Ridiculous??? How come photocopy of the Itinery shows her record in her computer?
                              These must have overbooked the flight and try to get rid of some passebger like this or so.

                              I have never ever seen or heard before this kind of strange experience in my life.

                              God Bless Air India!!!

                                  The Air India website has put several phone numbers in the list on its website but when you call it either guides you to some automated already known information or hangs up with a bizarre noise or engaged tone.
                                  Secondly the flight status option is just nothing else but the flight schedule. So no information can be known of what is happening. I consider it as a very careful way of being careless.

                                  Air India — Bad Customer Care

                                  I purchased a ticket (Goa Chennai) by credit card and lost the credit card that the Air India requests to present it at the check in.

                                  So I sent my inquiry by e-mail to know what I should do.

                                  Simply no response despite many times inquiries.

                                  Are they working ?

                                    I was travelling from Bangalore to London on 25th May 09. I was travelling by AI-9505 from BLR to DEL and by AI-111 from DEL to LHR.

                                    I got the boarding pass for both the flights in BLR. When I landed in DEL, the Air India customer support executive took my boarding pass and put a seal "NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL" and asked me to take seperate boarding pass at international airport. When I approached the Air India desk for boarding pass, he asked me to pay 1300 Rs UDF. As I did not have much time left for my flight, I had to pay and get the boarding pass. I feel cheated.

                                    My transit time was just 2 hours in delhi. But I paid 1300 Rs in UDF. Please help to get the money back and to stop this practice in DEL airport by Air India counter.

                                    It is not AI charging UDF.It is DIAL(GMR Group).Every passenger who travels from Delhi Airport has to pay UDF(domestic-200/- and international 1300/-).so better it would be, if you people get the full information before booking a flight.

                                      Bangur telephone exchange is not taking it seriously and instead of having Work Order they are not working.
                                      Please do the needful.

                                        A ticket was booked online on 18 May 2009 at 18:10 hrs (IST) for IC 555 from Chennai to Singapore on 23 May 2009 at 00:50 hrs. During this transaction, the amount of Rs 8329 has been debited from my account but the PNR was not generated.Due to availability shortage, I immediately booked a new ticket for the journey. I request to you to refund the amount for the ticket that was booked earlier for which the PNR number was not generated
                                        I booked online ticket (PNR no. HW0WW) on 9 December 2009 for AI 840 from Abu Dhabi to Delhi and back for travel on 19th December 2009. Air India informed me at 12.00PM on 18th December 2009 that the flight was cancelled due to operational reasons and Air India could not accommodate me in alternative suitable flight, the PNR no. HW0WW was entirely cancelled.

                                        In spite of repeated reminders and follow up with Abu Dhabi office, I have not received the refund till date

                                        I request you immediately refund ticket cost without delay.

                                        The Ticket was purchased thru web booking from Air India website The Transaction ID is 46974494 dated 9/12/2009

                                        Sir,


                                        We had booked flight ticket vide indian airlines for Chennai to Ahemedabad for 5-5-11 and return on 11-5-11.These flights were cancelled by them owing to strike by pilots.I had called their call centre and the person promised on 4-5-11 that all money will be tranferred without any charges to my citi bank credit card through which i had booked ticket.So far even after 2 months they have not transferred and refunded the money.

                                        On approaching our citi bank they told no amount has come from Air India.

                                        I have called their call centre 4-5 times they say it has been sent and they can not give details when it was sent.

                                        This an an absolute case of deficency in service.

                                        .

                                        OUR TICKET NUMBERS ARE 098-[protected]

                                        Air India — No Refund Generated as promised

                                        We cancelled a flight with Air India on December 19, 2011, and were told at the time of cancellation that the ticket would be refundable minus a processing fee, for a total of approximately $560 dollars. Since we booked through a travel agent, we were also told to confirm the refund with them, which we did immediately. After three weeks worth of follow ups on why our refund has not been processed, we are now being told by Air India that this ticket is non-refundable, despite repeated claims of the opposite in our intervening inquiries. We would like the promised refund returned to us without any further delay.
