In connection with reference, I want to bring into your notice, my septuagenarian parent wanted to avail your premier service on 24th June 2021 from New Delhi to Mumbai via Flight no AI 865 but unfortunately they could not fly (denied by airlines at airport).The reason given by air lines is not carrying RTPCR report. Followings are my arguments
1. First of all, I want to clear you, while booking of the ticket, nowhere it was mentioned or notified that RTPCR report is mandatory for travel to said destination.
2. Even while doing web check-in, it was neither pointed out to carry RTPCR report nor led to denial of web check-in.
3. On the 24th of June 2021 my old parents reached airport well before time (allowed by CISF at entrance) but at Air India counter they were denied boarding for not carrying RTPCR test report.
4. My old parents were in great trauma and shock for not allowing to board, that too without their any mistake or fault.
5. Even airlines did not offer for rescheduling of flight.
6. This led to cancellation of tickets (besides having valid ticket )
7. Lastly, it took them 2 hrs to come out of the airport from that incident.
After happening all this to my parents, still we preferred and booked air India flight after 2 days of this incident to travel to Mumbai.
With utter confidence and humble request to you to reimburse the amount of ticket booked considering all the said events happened with old parents especially in this pandemic situation.
With warm Regards
