Never experienced anything like this with any other airlines like Emirates, Fly dubai, Oman Air, Indigo, Jet, etc. Return journey of 2 way ticket for my family (wife and kids) was made open during Sep'22 with a validity upto Aug'23 through their call center. During May'23, called customer care @+[protected] and rescheduled the return journey for 27th Jun (PNR:L3D2RK). Within 2 days, the PNR was...

Dear Sir / Madam,

Unpleasant Business class travel on AI157, on 16th June 2023 from New Delhi to Copenhagen

I contacted the Air India reservation office to ask if I can change the dates for two different tickets more than two weeks in advance. Instead of offering the first free change, I was told that a penalty of £150 per person will be changed plus the applicable fare difference charges. I don't understand why I need to pay a penalty and fare difference on the same difference if I am not cancelling the ticket. the total value that they were charging was about one lakh twenty-nine thousand Indian rupees which was almost the price of the main ticket. so I had no choice but to cancel the ticket and pay the total cancelling charges of £600 which is £150 per person without even travelling on the air in India. the air india regulators need to investigate these cancelling and refund policies which is a total scam and rip-off of customers.
date of travel 24 june 2023, 16 july and 24 sept 2023.

My flight was cancelled without any prior intimation, came to know about it on Indira Gandhi international airport entry . No text email or message was received about cancellation from Air india. After lot of hassle but courteous response from Avjit at customer service and Rinku Check in supervisor was rebooked for 11.20 AM flight.

Was in india for my birthday celebration planned at Bhopal on[protected]. Ended up missing some of my own celebrations and disappointing guests.

Expected better from TATA run Air India.

The amount of anguish at missing one’s own celebration, and staying stuck @ airport for 6 hours deserve serious apology as well as some compensation by the TATA group famous for their customer service

I booked an air india flight from mumbai to nagpur on 12th june 2023 at 18:55 pm flight no - AI-629. The flight was constantly rescheduled & delayed for three times & consistently the gate numbers were gating changed making customers juggling from gate no 52 to gate no 42. They purposely at the last changed made the flight 5 mins earlier to 3hrs extension so they do not have to compensate 10k for delays more than 3 hrs. The biggest scam they did was they boarded us inside the plane & then again delayed the flight from 1:30 saying we do-not have confirmation to fly even though every other indigo flights were taking off & reaching destination. Now the total hours we were delayed were 4:30 after that the staff member named (Vidyarthy) came back & cancelled the flight. Leaving us empty handed. There was so much trauma, inconvenience & ill behavior happened with us that I demand compensation of ₹10, 000 from Air india for causing me mental & physical distress.

I traveled to India in January 4th 23 with air India. Air india lost mu duitcase.
I let them know stright away. My case number is: 19388871.

DOT regulations say that airlines are required to compensate passengers if their bags are lost, 04/1/23,
You owe me Two and a half thousand pounds.

Respected Sir/madam,

I wonder how good an airline company like Air India can be when my wife was denied boarding pass in spite of reaching their check-in counter before 1 hour. The staff were uncooperative and kept my wife moving from one counter to another.

She was not allowed to board the plane in spite of having a valid ticket and reaching the airport in time.

Staff Neetu Singh kept her moving...
