Air India Complaints & Reviews

I booked my round trip from USA to India.
And my return was on May17, 2021.
Due to travel ban which started on May4.My flight was canceled and I haven’t received the refund yet.
I tried calling many times to Air India but they are not responding and not refunding my amount.
Kindly look in to this and process the refund.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I have initially booked my ticket with Air India on 23 Feb 2021 for a round trip to India from Chicago (ORD) and traveled to India in April 2021, and my return ticket to the USA was on May 17, 2021, but was cancelled due to the US President travel ban from May 04, 2021. Then I have called Air India and got my ticket cancelled, and they said because of the travel ban, I am eligible for the refund and will be receiving it soon. But till now the refund was not issued, and they are ignoring my calls and not responding properly. I kindly request you to help me get the refund for the remaining amount I am entitled to (along with the extra seat amount I have paid them).

My Son had booked ticket for Mumbai-Newark vide PNR Number YB3YH.
As flight to US were not operational ticket was cancelled on 19th July 2021.
However till date we have not received for the same. Several mail were sent to [protected]@airindia.in but till date no response received.

Tried to call Air India call center, but put on hold for hours.

Would like to know, when the refund will be processed.

Hi, I am struggling to book a seat. I am not sure how to resolve my problem.

Whenever I call it takes very long time to connect. Call ends and goes to survey. I keep hearing beeps as if someone is disconnecting forcing call to bounce. I don't understand how my queue number goes from 3 to 13 to 45? It should go to 2 then 1. But goes other side...does some one mannuly control the queue? Can't understand how can air india do this...

'All our executive are busy' is all I hear everytime.

And if i manage to talk, I am told someone will call me from reservation team but I do not get call back.

This is happening since last 2 months. My return leg tickect has been postponed due to corona virus pendamic.

I cannot even manage my booking online. It says invalid when I try to search via pnr or ticket number. If you cannot assist atleast open my ticket so taht I can manage online. Search and try to book. This is terrible. On one hand you have blocked acces and on the other made difficultto get through to customer support...

Can i get any assistance from air india please? How should i book a seat?

Hope to hear from someone at the earliest. You can reach me on my email. Send a contact number I can talk to directly.

Thanks

I booked a ticket for CCU-DIB. All the details were filled and transaction was complete, however didn't receive the ticket and booking confirmation was not received as well.

This mail is regarding the domestic flight that I was supposed to take on the 14 th October 9:30am going Delhi-Guwahati (AI 889) where I could not take it because of delay with the airport RT-PCR test.
I arrived to the check in point at 8:50 am because there was no way I could arrive beforehand as I had an international flight from London prior which required me to get tested. The results took more than 4.5 hrs and then there was customs and baggage claim.

My problem is that Air India, since they did not allow me a to check in past 8:30 am, (which is their usual protocol to close check in before departure) and gave away my seats to accomodate other passengers, they should have atleast been flexible with the rebooking and refund . But on the other hand it was me who had to queue in line for another hour and pay for my newer flight (AI 891) at 4.15 pm the same day with approximately the same amount as was paid for the flight missed.

I sternly believe that as it was not the fault of the flier (myself) with missing the flight and due to delay with the PCR test arranged by the airport authority itself, there should be flexibility with accomodating me on the next flight or atleast a full refund of ?7890 for the flight missed . This is downright wrongful behavior which is not expected from a company like Air India and needs further investigation and justification.

Attached is the proof that I was there in the airport itself (refer to time and date of the rt pcr report). Also attached are the details of my missed flight newer flight.
I expect that this will be sorted and refunded as it is a huge amount of money for any hard working person that should not be lost specially during a time like the ongoing pandemic.

On 13.09.2021, I tried to book a flight ticket for my wife and my infant daughter via Air India Website from FRA to BLR for 23.11.2021 (Passenger Last Name: Athuluru).

A Payment of 698.65 Euros has been deducted from my Card (Card holder: Pruthvi Vattikunta) by Air India Ltd (Eur), however, the ticket has not been issued. We did not get any PNR Number as well. I called the customer service team and they suggested that I give this feedback officially on the AI Website. Although I did it, I have not yet received any response.

I am helpless and tired of Air India Customer service.

Please hep me with any info that could be useful to me.

Thank you.

This is Karthik complaining regarding the refund for the air india ticket with eticket #[protected]. I cancelled the ticket on 10May2021 due Covid19 situation in India during that time. We made the cancellation of the ticket through air india customer service call as we couldn’t cancel the ticket online due to changes that were being made to one of my return flights. I contacted air india customer service 4 to 5 times and nothing happened till now. They first told that it would take 45 days to refund and then when i called second time, they told they will send an email regarding the refund. When i called them third time, they told me to send a feedback form with my issue and they mentioned that my case is considered as high priority which will be resolved in a week. Nothing has happened till now. I want the issue to be resolved and process my refund soon.
