Air India Complaints & Reviews

We had booked a flight for Mumbai to Delhi on 28th April 2021 AI809, but we tested positive in RTPCR, hence unable to fly. We do not have any symptoms, neither we have stepped out in last few months, hence was unaware, and booked our tickets.

We request the airline to issue refund to us.

My son had an international ticket booked (Ticket Number:[protected] via AIR INDIA online and made a payment through his debit card. AIR INDIA canceled the flight and said that the refund of the amount was processed on Jan 16, 2021 to my transaction account. However, the amount has not been credited to the transaction account. The bank has clearly mentioned that that there was no refund received. Air India refuses to give me a Transaction ID and multiple mails to Air India has not helped me get the refund even after 3-months!!

I have booked a ticket from HYD to DXB on[protected]. Booking was made by making call to customer care and they sent me payment link to the provided email and I have made the payment of 9087inr through my debit card. Then they gave me PNR Y4GGX and received mail but not the ticket. Same was informed to customer care team and asked for the ticket then they said I it will done by ticketing team within 3-4hours. Based on their words I have waited till next day morning, no reply from them. Then I have called customer care and provided PNR details. They said my PNR is cancelled due to non availability of seats. It was not my fault. Since, no booking was made I have requested for the refund of my money which I have paid for. Now, the confusion starts. 1) As per telephonic conversation they said they have initiated refund process. But no reference I'd provided for this
2)Asked me to mail ecommerce team. Done the same. Received automated reply as you will be contacted within 24hours. It was almost 4days no one contacted me.
3) I am sending reminders to them continuously, but no response.

Requesting you to kindly do the needful

This is with regards to a failed transaction while booking an air ticket with air india. The details of the transaction are below:

Funds transaction number: [protected]
Transaction amount: Rs.1, 33, 209
Date of transaction: March 1st 2021

This transaction has failed. I contacted Air India regarding this issue. They got back to me indicating that the amount never got credited to Air India account. I have contacted my bank who said transaction was successful and I need to check with air India. After that I have attempted to reach air India multiple times with no response.

I had cancelled two tickets for a flight on 10 December 2020 booked on 24 November 2020.The cancellation was done within 24 hours i.e. on 25 November 2020.I was told to expect the full refund within 41 days of cancellation..
Next I contacted Air India twitter account asking for refund on 16January 2021 whose reply I got on 21January 2021 expressing apologies for the delay.On 25 January 2021 I received a direct email from [protected]@airindia.in stating they would refund my money within 2 to3 weeks. Despite having given this statement no refund was received in my bank account with the passage of time.

I again tweeted them on 22 Feb 2021 where I got the response immediately that the money was refunded by Air India on 28 January 2021.

After checking the bank statement it was seen that no money was refunded on 28 Jan followed by entire week till today. When my brother went to the Air India office on 18th March 2021 with the bank statement and all other required details I received 2 emails which is attached here showing the amount of the ticket individually. These mails don't contain the reference no. required to check the credited amount in the bank. He was asked to enquire about the same on [protected]@airindia.in .But haven't received any response from this mail also.
The passenger names of the cancelled tickets were Ravindra & Malathi Khanapurkar with ticket numbers[protected] &[protected] respectively.

Hence I request you to please provide the reference no. of the transaction done by AirIndia where in its claimed the amount was credited in my bank account by Air India.

With this I am attaching the Screenshots of Twitter chat which include the Ticket Numbers, Air India Tickets & Air India e mail I Received on 25 Jan2021, my bank statement for that particular date when it was claimed by Air India that the required amount was credited in my bank account ..

Thanks & Regards,

On this your team replied on 1st march 21 saying that your PNR number is not matching and again asked for e-ticket numbers and the same was provided by me on 2nd march morning 8.50 am.

And after many follow-up I have got a reply on 11th march 21 saying (Your transaction id for refund is 098C214395NE9 . Kindly check your bank account with the given transaction id.)

Again after too many emails and reminders on 7th April 21 I got may saying that your payment is (initiated on 23 FEB 21 and it will be credited in your account as soon as possible. We request you to kindly contact your bank account where you have paid for the flight.)

I am begging pl let me know how many days required to refund received, checked with my bank still payment not received. Confirm me the date by when it will happen.

My flight ticket was cancelled without informing me

I booked a ticket on Air India's website in Jan 2021 at the cost o[censored]S$ 1830.60. The Eticket no is[protected].

The ticket was cancelled end of Jan 2021. As per the terms US$100 was to be deducted and the remainder should be refunded. Despite repeated follow up with the Air India customer care the same has not been processed. Air India keeps requesting for same information everytime and asks for details to be sent as as escalation email to their e-commerce website - which has been done at my end.

The last call was placed on 27th March where they confirmed that the payment has been refunded to my credit card and I informed them that the refund has in fact not been credited. They again asked me to send the refund details (refund no 0983G143955VB data 17th March 2021 as per Air India representative) to their ecommerce email addresses ([protected]@airindia.in; escalation.[protected]@airindia.in) - which has also been done at my end.

Kindly help with the overdue payments from Air India.

Air India has not provided my refund even after six months. Looters looting the money of the public. Is it a scam by Air India. I have been told that they have refunded the money. But I have not received the money in my bank account.

Ticket no:[protected] and[protected]

Air ticket was booked from the website of Air India on 04.04.2021 through internet banking o[censored]CO bank. The money amounting to Rs. 9063/- was deducted by reference no.[protected], but it was shown as error. Again I have booked ticket by reference no.[protected] amounting to Rs. 9063/- and this time ticket was confirmed and PNR No. is JD8QX.
But money was not refunded for failed transaction
