Air India Complaints & Reviews

We have booked a ticket in my daughters name via ai9610 from dehradun to delhi on 2nd june to catch the connecting flight for lusaka through ethiopian airline.
The flight was canceled in last minutes due to that we have suffered a financial as well as mental loss
And even passing of 42 days we have not received the refund in my account.
Its too much disgusting.
We again request you to process the refund as early as possible.

Two passengers, b s krishna kumar, pnr, ycrct & daughter lakshmi priya pnr, ycrjm, had confirmed booking to thiruvananthapuram, by ai flt ai 263 on 11 jul 19, departure 0515h. On reaching check-in counter, we were told the flt is over booked and we can be accommodated only by 6 pm flt. I requested for any other carrier, since there was an important appointment for my daughter.. But, the duty manager expressed inability stating over booking is the airline business model n there is no solution. We have been severely inconvenienced n missed the appointment and caused severe inconvenience. The ai staff had been indifferent. There were other passengers as well who were

Dear sir,

My name is gurmeet singh lamba. Me along with my wife Mrs. kawaljeet kaur lamba & my son 12 years old Master Jaiveer singh lamba traveled from Frankfurt to Mumbai on 28th May 2019 on AI124. We made reservation for seats 11G, 11H, 11J, and paid total Rs. 9444/- for the above three reservation. Air india accepted the above payments online. The above seats are emergency exit seats. The copy of acceptance of payment attached below.

On 28th May 2019, when we went to check in, we were told my son cannot sit on the emergency exit since he was 12. Hence if we have to sit together we have to change our seats. Hence we had to give up our reserved seats to others because obviously me and my wife could not leave our son on another seat so that we could enjoy more leg space.

Had your system not accepted my son's reservation, we would not have spent money to book me & my wife also. Obviously we always travel together.

Sir we request you to kindly refund money for all the 3 seats

I am composing this email with deep grievance of having suffered severe loss for having booked air india flight. I am a student who had to book a sudden flight from trivandrum to delhi for delhi university admissions. I had to take up an offer of make my trip which booked two connection flights of two airlines with over 4 hours layover in mumbai. I had immense faith in air india that i accepted the deal. My flight was scheduled at 20:15 on 28th of june 2019. On 28th of june at 05:48am i received a message stating a delay of 2 hours in the scheduled flight. I tried calling through the toll free number [protected] but i couldnt get any response. I checked in early at 5 pm and requested them to alter my flight if there was to be an additional delay. But the staff assured that i would reach there on time. I asked them if there would be a further issue but they stated a full assurance. My flight was further delayed to 11 and they stated that since my second flight was at 2:00am i would make it. A further delay was announced and the staff stated that i wouldnt make it to second flight closely after they assured that there would be no further delay. Upon enquiring about the refund they said that they were not responsible for the connection flight as it was my fault that i booked a connection flight. I enquired if they could arrange a sudden flight to delhi and they refused. To quote them they said that it was my fault and i couldn't blame them as "according to them one would not book tickets prior to reaching if they were to travel by ksrtc or rather public buses." it's hard how the staff of one of the most reputed airlines behaved in an irresponsible manner. They were not ready to help us nor give us another option apart from the refund of trivandrum to bombay flight. They weren't ready to arrange another flight for us. I had to go to delhi as my admissions couldn't be delayed. I had read about the new airline rule which allowed compensation for the delayed or cancelled flight but the staff refused to oblige. It was my first time with the air india and i still cannot believe how they responded to a customer/consumer. The head of the department refused to talk to us until it was the boarding time. I requested for an arrangement in the flight to delhi and they refused. I had to book fresh tickets which led to a loss of 17000 ruppees with an initial loss of 10, 000 for my connection flight.

I tried to book a ticket for july 4th 2019 from trivandrum to chennai on 2nd july 2019. I tried to book through mobile app using sbi credit card. After entering otp, the ecommerce site of air india did not accept the money and itinerary was not sent to the given mail id. No sms too. Sbi card says merchant has claimed the amount of rs 5431. The transaction id is vt191840019030010000053

I have sent mails to [protected]@airindia.in & call. [protected]@airindia.in.

Airindia is not responding. It has been an really bad experience dealing with ai commerce site.

Kindly help me in getting my money credited back.

I was travelling from indore to hyderabad on 30th june 2019. I had to join the new organization on 1st july. My luggage got misplaced by the airlines and i got my luggage after two days. Due to this my joining got delayed by 2 days. I had joing on 3rd and this has caused the loss of pay to me. This should be compensated by the airlines as it is its fault and can be taken care of.

I have booked one ticket in flight no AI 439 vide pnr no. Y96XR for date 23rd June and its e. Ticket no. is[protected]C1/P1 from DLE to MAA on 23 June . But it was entirely cancelled from AIR INDIA. Same was known to me via email from air India. I have send mail for refund on [protected]@airindia.in thrice but no response and refund has processed till now. There has not been even a single acknowledgement mail from air india. This is very disappointing and was unexpected at all. There should be some moral responsibilty to take care of customer greivances. This is entirely not professionally ethic. Please process my complaint at the earliest.

Our flight from rajkot to bangalore via mumbai was on 2nd
July 2019 was at 5:15 pm ai656.. That was delayed and deprted from rajkot at around 7:30 pm.. We had checked in our bag at baggage drop (1 sutcase maroon colour hardcase of traworld brand medium sized) upto bangalore in rajkot..
Since our 1st flight (Rajkot-bombay) was delayed we missed our connecting flight (Mumbai-bangalore)...
We approached air india officials.. They gave us the next available flight to bangalore ie on july 3rd at morning 6:15.. And they also took our luggage checkin tag for searching our bag.. We waited from night 10 pm to morning 4:30 am.. They dint get outr bag and the officials in the counters also vanished.. After that one senior person sitting in the counter whose answer was "i dont know when and what there is mess everywhere" informed us that our luggage will reach bangalore as we had checked it in for bangalore and the tag on the luggage was till bangalore.. So we had to leave to catch our flight..
Its been 48 hrs now... Baggeg service officials in bangalore are not responding.. We have no idea whats happening

I booked from delhi to shimla 3 july 2019 in ai 9803 for which i was informed at airport that flight cancelled, and asked me to have flight to chandigarh instead of shimla for i replied let me think, when i returned back to have refund of my ticket amount then they replied you already have booked chandigarh, without any mail, message, call or information how they booked me for the same and for the flight which they rearranged have gone so no refund no other adjustment and on asking more the team of air india just replied me to file a case against air india to get my money back and shown me the door by saying just exit from airport. The behaviour was like i have done some crime to them, this is the way how these guys are representing the country. Flight no ai9803, 3rd july 2019, booked for ranveer singh and anu, with pnr h6j92, ticket no[protected] and 52.

I Prashanth Kumar Gangaiah, research student from IIT Kharagpur, traveled From Kolkatta to Long Beach, CA on 14th June 2019 for the conference to present my research work. I traveled in Air India from Kolkata to San Francisco via Delhi in the flights AI 023(CCU-DEL) and AI 173 (DEL-SFO). My baggage has not arrived at SFO airport along with my flight on 15th June. All my clothes, basic amenities, chargers, eatable items, conference materials poster, etc. were there in my baggage. In SFO airport, Air India baggage manager promised me to deliver my baggage within two days to my hotel where I stayed. I clearly told them at SFO airport that I have to return back to India on 21st June but they promised me to deliver my baggage within 21st June and took only the motel address where I have stayed from 15th to 21st June. But till now there is no information about my baggage. Air India staff at SFO airport are so irresponsible people and always try to escape from the situation instead of solving the issue. I tried to contact through e-mail provided in the website and all messages are not delivered due to unavailability of the address. Air India is such a hopeless airline and not updated proper contact details on their website. I am really very much disappointed and planning to file a case against air India in consumer court against my losses incurred due to delay in my baggage. Kindly someone help me how to claim the loss of baggage compensation or how to lodge a complaint in consumer court.

Air india cancelled the subject mentioned flight on june 15 with a less than 24 hours notice without giving any reason and without providing any alternate flight options. When contacted for compensation, the airline has been dillydallying for the past 20 days and is just saying that we have escalated the matter to the concerned team without any response from that team.

My baggage was delayed by air india at delhi airport. Though it has been delivered to the airport of my residence city (Dehradun) but it has not been couriered to my residence. I had already given request for delivery to my residence address but still the baggage is lying at airport and i live far away from the airport.

I was booking 2 tickets of flight no. Ai-156 from delhi to goa for the date 31st august 2019 for self and my husband. I opted to pay via upi. An amount of rs. 7194 was deducted from my bank account. However, i did not get any ticket confirmation mail from air india. I called air india customer care where i was told that pnr jxs53 and jsx3w were generated but the tickets have not been booked. They told me to raise a refund request by mailing the issue on [protected]@airindia.in. I have emailed them thrice. Howver, i did not get any response from their side. I am afraid to book tockets again without written confirmation from airindia that earlier rhe tickets have not been booked. The upi refernce id for payment is[protected] and the time of transaction is 12:51 am on 1st july 2019. I request you to confirm that the tickets have not been confirmed and raise the refund at the earliest.

The baggage for complete flight 651 from mumbai to raipur was not in the aircraft... Dated july 2/2019... The delay was due to weather we understand that but from 13 hrs to 15hrs we were made to wait in the flight stating the reason that some of the passengers have cancelled hence their luggage is being disembarked and at raipur we were told that no single luggage was boarded... Lazy and confused ground handling staff at mumbai airport

My mother has travelled through airindia from minneapolis to hyderabad on june 26th.
Minneapolis - chicago delhi - hyderbad
Passenger name - sujata kallepalli
Itinerary is flight/date: dl 2424 / 26 jun / ai126 / 27 jun and ticket number:[protected]c1.

We had 2 check-in luggages which were delayed to deliver by 3 days

1st baggage has missing fossil watch which is $100.
2nd baggage delivered on 1st july at 11.00pm with no items in the bag almost empty.

We have lost 10kgs of items worth of 400 us dollars including 1 fossil watch, clothes (6 nike tshirts, 2 puma tshirts, 2 gap kids tshirts, 3 adults gap tshirts), 2 packs of linda chocolates and bath & body works (8 mists, 1 body wash, 2 body creams)

I have spent $1500 ticket and lost almost $400 worth of items.

The air india airlines is responsible for our loss and mental pressure.

Hope they take this seriously and handover our missing items or refund us $400.

My mother has travelled through airindia from minneapolis to hyderabad on june 26th.

We had 2 check-in luggages which were delayed which they told they didnt have time to send to hyderabad on time. They said they will do home delivery on june 30th. They sent 1 baggage at night 11pm with a fossil watch missing which is worth 100$.

After multiple calls and rude customer service from the stupidest airlines sent the second baggage on july 1st is almost empty. I dont know what to say steal, rob or fraud airlines that we lost clothes, perfumes, chocolates and everything.

This is a # and fraud airline company who didnt deliver our luggage immediately but have stolen all the items and their baggage claim is the worst of all.

I dont trust this airlines and shame to travel to india using this airlines.

Please anyone dont ever book tickets through this airlines for short duration. I mainly booked this flight as it was short duration where they charged me $1500 for the ticket and have 500$ of lost baggage. Shame on you air india.

Hope others will see this review and stop booking flight using this.
