Air India Complaints & Reviews

Dear air india team,

I puneet kwatra had lost my new brown wallet on the air india flight ai916 on my return flight from dubai started 22:00 dubai local time on 22nd june 2019 and reached delhi at 03:00 am delhi local time on 23rd june 2019. The purse is brown in color and had various debit and credit cards as well as priority pass cards in the name of myself puneet kwatra and my wife dhara kwatra and approx. 4000 dehrams.

Kindly register my complaint and please help locate my wallet by inspecting the allocated cabin and beneath the seats through camera recording as well. It seems its lost in allocated cabin above seats 27h, 27j, 27g as the cabin was already occupied by air india with their own belongings and hardly had any space for passengers to keep their hand luggage. Somehow, i had managed to place my laptop bag with wallet inside the front pocket without zip. The wallet might slip out from the open pocket and lost within the cabin itself along with air india belongings placed in the same cabin.

It might also be possible that i might lost my wallet beneath these seats.

It is a non branded brown color raxine leather purse.

It contains 11 cards in total including 2 priority pass cards in the name of myself puneet kwatra and my wife dhara kwatra.

Name on the debit cards and credit cards and priority pass cards -
- puneet kwatra (Myself)
- dhara kwatra (Wife)

9 debit and credit cards include :
- 4 hdfc bank debit cards in the name of puneet kwata and dhara kwatra.
- 2 hdfc bank credit cards in the name of puneet kwatra and dhara kwatra.
- 1 kotak mahindra bank debit card in the name of puneet kwatra.
- 1 canara bank debit card in the name of dhara kwatra (Wife)
- 1 icici bank debit card in the name of puneet kwatra.
- 2 priority pass card in the name of puneet kwatra and dhara kwatra.

The purse also contains approx. 4000 dehrams purchased from india in the bill name of puneet kwatra and dhara kwatra.

I further attach my passport copies of myself and my wife and my son as well as their boarding passes for your easy references.

Please help locate my wallet as this would be a great help.

I will be highly oblized. Please let me know, if you need any furthe details from my side.

With regards
Puneet kwatra

AI 330 scheduled to keave for Bangkok at 0150 hrs on 22nd June 19 rescheduled for 0230 hrs. Even at 0230 hrs there us no AI staff at the gate / counter 76 and 77 to lets know whats happening. No announcement and no body. Somevody briefly appeared and vanished saying that there is ground power problem. The least passengers expect is communication but as the general perception, AI specizes in 'no communication'. What a pity!

I am head constable telecom sunil kumar from paramilitary force ITBP SHQ SRINAGAR., i need a certificate that prove no SEAT AVAILABLE IN ANY FLIGHT from SRINAGAR to JAMMU on JUNE 22nd 2019.

I had traveled in AI flight from Mumbai to Calcutta on June 14. I was an international passenger flying from Newark to Mumbai by United and Mumbai to Calcutta in Air India flight.

My checked in baggage arrived in Mumbai without any problem, but did not arrive in Kolkata, and now this is June 19th, 6 days since I reached, but I have not received my baggage.

I had contacted AI staff in Kolkata who stated me that the baggage is with MIAL security for additional checking and once that is complete, the baggage will be delivered to me.

It's been 6 days now, I have not received my bags. I called MIAL security and they mentioned that all checkings are complete and it is in the hands of AI to pick up the baggage for delivery.

When I am calling AI they are giving all sorts of lame excuses. This is disgusting and highly unprofessional and disgraceful for an international carrier like AI.

I would like someone to contact me send me my baggage ASAP.

Respected Sir / Madam

On 03-June-2019 i was received an text message from air india i.e., "your application on process for the post of aero engineer in Vijayawada airport your documents verified by Air India verification number is AIR06195GE". On the same day i received an what's app message i.e., " training will be there 15 days for aero engineer post and pay the Rs.5510/- training fee refundable in first month salary". I asked official mail conformation for that i was waited two days finally he says after paying Rs.5510/- you receive joining letters.

On 12-June-2019 I received message i.e., " if want to join pay your MNR Processing fee till tomorrow or if not able to pay wait till October next vacancies" at that time i am really in confusion mode.

On 14-June-2019 i have paid the Rs.8300/-

It has been 2 times my flights have been rescheduled in 5 days and no good alternatives is given to me. Last flight update is done done just 15 hrs prior my departure. This is not acceptable as i had to change my plans and bookings multiple times. Now i am reaching mumbai around 9.30 in the night with no place to go at that time. I would like a compensation for my troubles and a night accommodation at the airport lodge on 18th night. Please see this issue on priority.

HI,
In regards to our recent traveling in Air India flight on 30/05/19, traveling booked for AI 130 London through Mumbai and connection flight AI054 Mumbai to Kochi, our first flight was delayed and only started at 21.30 hrs from London and the connection flight missed, next flight we got was AI681, we suppose to reach Kochi at 07.40 in the morning but our flight only reached at 21.20 hrs.

Please see the attached evidence of our journey plan.

Also we lost lots of pound because of flight delay - we booked taxi from 35 church field avenue CB223LA to Cambridge at 06.40 and then from Cambridge to London Heathrew Stage Coach bus at 7.10 to catch air india flight at 1315 hrs, we re booked again these taxi and another later service bus. Our flight delayed more than 8 hours and we reached only at Kochi after 24 hrs, Also we didn't had no lunch provided on while 8 hrs waiting at Mumbai, Me and My daughter was highly exhausted, shocked from our this journey and too very long to get settled.

I am seeking legal advice to claim these for compensation unless you provide these direct.

Please consider this is my formal complaint and let me know if you need further information.

Please let me know the outcome of our compliant.

Hi Team,

My brother booked flight for himself and for his family from London to Delhi (travel date -4th may) and Delhi to London (travel date - 27th may).
Due to personal reasons, he couldn't travel on 4th May.
And booked another ticket and travelled on 10th May instead.

Complaint :
When he arrived on 27th may, he was told by air line staff that his returning ticket is automatically cancelled due to no show of onward journey.
They cannot board me until he buy new ticket and he was forced to pay 70k INR to get new ticket and he got harassed in front of public and airline staff, his family got scared by their behavior due to which he has to pay the amount as he cannot let them go alone. They forced to pay the huge amount by forcing and creating condition that only 10 minutes are left you want it ot not?

1. I wanted to know, why his returning journey was cancelled without informing him or emailing him?

He was forced to buy new ticket of 70k, when he was already holding ticket but your staff told him that they cannot consider my original ticket.

This all has happened due to unprofessional behaviour and non communication by Air India.

Who is going to compensate that?

I will never ever refer anyone Air India flight, this type of behavior is restricting to change India Image in front of world. Stop doing this and start treating humans like humans.

2. Please refund my money as soon as possible.

I am attaching my ticket details for your reference.

Best Regards,

Vaibhav Kohli

Respected Sir,
We had booked flight from Gauhati to Bengaluru (GAU-BLR) on 14th JUNE 2019 AT 17.40. This being a return journey ticket after visiting North East Region. We were 4 passengers Myself, wife, son and daughter.
We were on tour we flown to Gauhati from Bangalore on 9th June 2019 in GoIndigo.

Due to sudden cancellation of AI 728 flight which was informed over SMS on 13.6.2019 at 3.00 p.m. and a message stating that you are eligible for refund but no mention about any alternative arrangement by Air India.

We were not provided any other alternative arrangement by Air -India and because of which we were virtually made to suffer in streets the whole day without any hope because all other flights from Gauhati and Bangalore were showing whopping Charges ranging from Rs.14858/- to Rs28, 000 per head and for four persons, minumum Rs.52000/- was required for online booking of alternative flight by ourselves. And we had no money at all. Without minding about our plight, difficulties, mental agony, anxiety, mental trauma we underwent the whole day without any sort of help from AI, leaving all o[censored]s in lurch in the unknown State of Assam, is a mentionable complaint against Air -India, in treating the air passengers, with full harassment, throwing us to winds, to do whatever we want, but AI did not feel any responsibility thereby AI, is personally and severally responsible, liable, answerable, accountable for all the traumas we underwent.
Alternatively, it is not AI, but a distant relative of ours came to our rescue by booking alternative flight with connecting flight at a cost of Rs.59429/- through Spicejet.

Therefore, it is requested to direct, order Air -India to give us credit of Rs.59429/- as against Rs.22, 032/- for 4 tickets which they claim to afford credit after a weeks' time.
This difference of Rs.37397/- Air -India is liable, bound to refund me. Also, for their deficiency of service, deriliction, negligent attitude, the heavy amount we had to spend for our food arrangement, no separate lounge is also provided for our resting by Air-India. And, therefore, Air-India has to compensate Rs.10, 000/- for their fault in not making any alternative arrangement, additionally for the mental trauma, tension, agony, anxiety.

Yours faithfully,

Suresh.B.

My parents have travelled from DEL-IAD on 12th June via flight AI103 (PNR Reference JGVMF)
To their misery the flight was delayed and diverted to Bombay. The flight was further delayed by 4 hours and to add to the problem all the luggage from the flight was unloaded and the flight was sent to IAD without luggage for all the passengers.

At IAD airport the form was filled and till date (15th June) there is no status update on when the luggage will arrive at the address provided. My parents are old and senior citizens and have not been able to take their important and critical medication due to all this. They continue to run with risking their lives without the necessary things.
This is inhuman, insane on Air india’s Part.
I want to take them to court for this act of theirs.

Kindly treat this as a formal complaint against them.

We had booked flight no.663 for Goa from Mumbai..PNR no. 7S6XNM
After arriving at the airport they said the flight is overbooked and we had to wait for 4 hours for the next flight..Oue entire plan got cancelled...We reached Goa by 6:00 pm, while we were supposed to reach by 3 pm..We had an important meeting which obviously got cancelled due to your stupid overbooking
I don’t understand why the hell do you take overbooking?? Are customers a joke to you??
I want a claim of atleast 10000 rupees because of the other bookings we had to do !

Actually I booked AI 126 from Delhi to Hyderabad for 14.6.19. It was about to start at 1715hrs. from Delhi. But they announced at 1700 hrs that it will start at 1730 hrs. But finally started at 1815 and landed at hyderabad at 2050 hrs. Baggage received at 2130hrs. Because of this I was not able to board the bus from hyderabad to chennai scheduled at 2115 hrs. But I have to be there at Chennai on 15.6.19. I am a central govt. Officer. For official purpose I am going to chennai. But counter staff were unable to help.Mental tension and I lost the bus ticket amount of Rs.1984.50. I request you to compensate for my monetary loss and mental stress.

I have a flight from lucknow to delhi by air india which is scheduled to depart at AI 812 @20:15 on 12/06/19. But actually it departs @2:30 on 13/06/19. I missed my international connection to Madrid which is scheduled at 1:25 on 13/06/19. I have to change the date now and it cost me Rs 18276 and other hotel expenses with mental illness. I need the compensation from the airline.

How can I get back Sir, ...

Thanking you Sir.

My booking Id was EMT58551134 & Ticket no. was [protected]/375 of Air India dated 29 May 2019.

Flight departure time was at 09:00 AM, actual departed on 09:12 AM.

My wife reached to Airport before 08:30 AM. I know she was little bit late,

But my wife reached the counter, passenger on same Flight standing before my wife and got Boarding Pass in the presence of my wife and they have put their luggage on machine. My wife luggage had been taken out from the machine.

They were not allowed my wife and 8 years daughter for boarding. Inspite of requesting, begging and crying by my wife, Ground Staff does not have emotions at all, they even cannot think that passenger was not well at that time and she was with child.

Counter person taken 3 times her mobile phone for boarding and returned back to her.

After Flight had gone, I have no choice other than to cancel tickets. They say that, I will get only RS. 490 and I have paid RS. 12, 902 for the ticket.

So it is my humble request that please do a favor to me so I will get my full amount, i.e. RS. 12, 902

Please do the needful.
