Air India Complaints & Reviews

I booked return tickets for my parent back in November. These were refundable tickets from BLR-SFO. My parents made the flight to SFO (with pathetic customer service while flying moreover) but unfortunately I had to cancel their tickets back, because of emergency in the family - namely, death of my grandfather. I cancelled these refundable tickets back in the first week of December hoping to get the refund, especially during these unexpected and difficult circumstances.
It is now the last week of March and still no word about the refund! My credit card travel agent has received no communication in over 3 months.
This is BEYOND any reason and is as pathetic as it can get.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT A REFND ON MY TICKETS CANCELLED 3 MONTHS BACK, AIR INDIA??

My daughter SIMRIT KAPILA who is a Citizen booked ticket to travel to Dubai on 22/3/23 and return 26/3 through GoIBo . Though the Agent supplied correct particulars to AIR INDIA of which Screenshot Proof is available, Air India entered WRONG PARTICUALRS ON TCKET.
Your Customercare Executive Devansh was dismissive when issue was discussed by him and retorted with a dismissive retort "NNOT OUR PROBLEM"
It is CERATINLT AIR INDIA PROBLEM as we have proof that GOIBO provided correct particulars to AIR INDIA.
Should any losses accrue then AIR INDIA wold beliable for Damages

I traveled on an AI flight on 02 march from London to Mumbai, but I was so disappointed that the whole multimedia was not working in the row, my toddler was so excited that he will go on the plane and can watch some cartoons. eventually, he went to sleep. whenever I was asking the flight attendants they told me that I have to wait and they will reset the system, a common answer anyone asked them, but in reality, they knew that the row was not available with any multimedia system. It is a shame to receive an appalling service and not be able to use the system when I am on a 9 hours long distance flight and I and my wife cannot sleep in journeys
I am flying back soon I hope that I will get a BETTER SERVICE

I didn't receive any refund for the flight I cancelled of Air India, PNR H4QGQ worth 27564 INR (booked on 28 jul 21 and cancelled on 01 Aug 21). I was eligible for full refund. There's no way you can reach their customer care or generate a complaint for refund. I sent email on call.[protected]@airindia.in but now it shows inactive ID. I am not sure what else to do so writing it to you as a last try hoping I would get my refund.

I had booked air tickets with Air India for 14th march from Bengaluru to Delhi and I am a senior citizen requested through call and email to Air India for cancellation and full refund due to medical reasons and have provided them Medical Certificate also for the same, I have to undergo a surgery and doctor has advised me not to travel for this week.

I am travelling from SFO to BLR (flight no. 176) with my family on March 17, 2023. I booked my tickets in November and selected the seats (33 a, b, c) in accordance with air india's instructions. Today, on March 10th, i randomly checked my ticket and saw that my seats were reassigned from 33 a, b, c (window seats) to 33 d, e, f (middle seats). I never consented for the reassignment. Air India didn't even send an email informing me of the reassignment. I booked window seats for a reason. I paid full price for my tickets, what gives air india the authority to reassign my seats without my consent? I want my originally allocated seats. I called their call center and they were unable to help me with this.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My family were on a flight from Surat to JFK on February 18/19, 2023.

We received an email and text just before leaving Surat that our flight from Delhi to JFK had been delayed for over 15 and half hours. We understand that this type of delay is rare but can happen.

Due to this delay we were to be provided with accommodation at a hotel. We were taken to a hotel by the name...

My daugter Harshili Malhotra travelled TODAY the 5th March as per details mentioned below.
Booking Ref: VX22ZB
DOJ - 5th Mar 2023
Flight Number - AI 807
Sector - Delhi to Bengaluru
It is so disgraceful on the part of the baggage handlers, and the supervisors napping on duty, that the bag with a PRIORITY TAG has brutally got damaged, without hurting any grounds person at the destination station.

Is this what the TATAS want to prove to the ordinary Indian Citizen on offering such deteriorated services to a Business Class passenger

I had purchased CCU-DEL-SFO ticket during COVID-19 pandemic time which got cancelled due to travel policy. At that time airline travel policy was to refund the amount to customer if customer cannot fly due to travel restrictions. There were two passengers, after uncountable follow up able to receive refund for only for one passenger and air India not giving any clear justification why the remaining amount is not refund?

I was travelling on Air India flight AI 186 from Vancouver to Delhi on February 3, 2023 and the food quality and standard was far below. i have raised a complaint to Air India.
Please contct them for more details.

Dear sir,
Yesterday I booked an INTL flight from xxxx to XXXXX through EaseMyTrip of AIR INDIA. I could not find the Insurance column on their page, so I called them upon their customer care no ie[protected] at 19.01 PM, which was not attended by anyone and lasted 4 min 0 sec. Later I got a message to rate their customer service agent on my phone to which I gave a very frank opinion .Later I got a message through Whatsapp to address the issue but they didn't have any option for my query and kept asking same questions options. Since I had already spent several hours trying to get the booking done I decided to go ahead with the booking because they are in habit of increasing the rates if anyone shows more interest in a particular flight.
Later i sent a mail to which they just washed their hands off.
Earlier also I had similar problem with them which I raised with them without relief.
Further, they recorded the wrong Expiry date of my Passport and incorrect mobile number which I am trying to change with Air India.

Sir, now i am writing to AIR INDIA/ DGCA to cancel their licence

Kindly advise the company to take care of their customers and improve their customer services and experiences.

Cancellation of Flight last minute which cost double amount of money lost. I lost more than Rs. 15000 . It is Horrible experience.

Hello,
How long before I hear back from the Refund department? This is a more than 8 months long back and forth with Air India on my 4 EMD receipts payment for extra leg space that both my wife and I paid for and were denied by cabin crews due to assignment of bassinet seats by the Air India call center. Initially, I sent all details August 16, 2022 to you and a new case - Case ID: 16936860 was created. Nothing happened. I called...

The boarding pass issuer was not allowed me to get boarding pass as weight was 53kg cumulative I have booked two tickets from Mumbai to Doha with two different PNR and due to that he is not allowing me to board as he told me you need to adjust the weight according to tickets as we are husbands and wife even though finally we have segregated the luggage and flight was delayed 1 hour with no reason!!
