This flights does not have any accurate timings and can change their timings at anytime, more over flights also can cancel any movement and even refund not available so we can take any other flight to avoid delay even though the fault and delay is from their side. earlier I have noticed there were 2 flights in a week and now its 1 flight for a week witch is not reliable, the timings are very early morning which is makes in convince to all passengers who are traveling, The Air India Express is not bothered of giving a good service but trying to make Money and take advantage of the passengers who are helpless, and they say the flights are going in loss may be this is th reason they try to recover their loss in this kind of business, even though they don’t have any feelings of Air crash took place recently, and passengers traveling in this are flying with risk, comparing to this I really appreciate Emirates Airlines which I use to fly from Bangalore to Doha, Via Dubai, but I do enjoy the good service, I had 8Kgs of access baggage were I was not charged any this extra for this due to the kindness of the airlines, the baggage allowance was 30Kg and the Hand bag allowance was 7kgs, and the cabin crew I found were polite too, the food was excellent, and they had provide a free TV to each seat in front of the passengers with a control box hanging were we can select movie, songs and games to kind along with a free head phones, there was also a night lamp where we can use it for our convenience, tea coffee are provide to everyone on request any time when they needed it, they also provide toys, color pencil blankets to kids and children with some special gifts which makes children happy to enjoy the journey, it was said Emirates Airline gets Award every year for the best service and performance, but just I had taken a chance in the Indian Express that to avoid traveling to Bangalore to take this fight, that was a mistake I had made and faced this problem, or else traveling to Bangalore is not so tuff as there are more then 400 luxury super delux AC buss Pvt and Govt, every day too and fro, where we don’t even find tired after a sleep in the sleeper coach and next morning reaching to Bangalore, Airport busses are available from the buss stop which makes passengers convenient, and the New Bangalore International Airport is excellent comparing to Mangalore Airport, so I request and cooperate all who have gone thorough this problems and also join hands to teach them a lesson, that the Airlines are for the service of People and its not that the People are here to give them business and take advantages of them, And stop to put an end to this Monkey Business.

I had booked a ticket in Air India Express IX506 departing from Trivandrum on 14th June 2014 at 10pm to Chennai for my mother. But at 9 pm, the passengers were informed that there is a delay in the departure and expected to depart at 11.30 pm. But till 11.30 pm there was no information and we contacted the airindia express' customer support number they do not have any information regarding that. When called the airport officials at Trivandrum, they said the flight is departed at 11.30pm from chennai to Trivandrum and it will depart back from Trivandrum at 12.30 am. But at 12.30am, since there was no information, we had called the airport officials again and they said it is cancelled due to shortage of crew members. But still, after that till now (1.30 am), no information from the Air India express officials regarding the alternative arrangements. Very irresponsible they are. My old mother travelling alone, waiting the whole night in the airport without any clear information on what to do further, is quite stressful. Air India Express has to take the whole responsibility for the inconvenience caused and do the needful

I came by the same Air India Express flight (IX- 931) the very next day (11 th June 2011, Singapore to Kolkata) and this time its not 50 % ... its 100 %...they didn't load the baggage of a single passenger from Singapore. Is it a mistake or is it a crime? Sample this...Their staff didnt come down for 1 hour and all the passengers complained to the on duty -airport manager...Despite the manager calling them, they took 1 hour to come and we were left at the mercy of our incompetent government officials. They didn't load the wheel chairs of the disabled passengers also. Its a criminal offense on their part!!! And most probably DGCA is hand in glove with them as this is a frequent occurrence with this particular air lines but no action is being taken against them. The only reason this is happening is because these useless government service guys know that they will not be thrown out of office even if they kill somebody.I had to proceed to Guwahati for my onward journey and i wont be surprised if i have to go back to Kolkata to collect the baggage ...most importantly paying from my own pocket. The people involved from top to bottom should be sent to jail the way Kalmadi and his team of thieves are sent to jail... please support this campaign against Air India Express...atleast remove the suffix 'India' from it as i being a law abiding citizen of Indian republic I feel deeply hurt and disturbed with this CRIME.

Dear sir/madam,
I am Dr Rakesh Kumar I was booked on AI20 from Delhi to Kolkota on 15th June 2014.
by 14:15 flight I booked my ticket on 22may 2014 so that later on there is no problem with flight.

On 15th of June I reached much before time at the airport and I was denied boarding on this flight. I just don't under stand why i was denied boarding I was given simple answer by the desk people that the flight is overbooked.

Then I asked for compensation since they booked me on 17:00 Hrs flight.
I am a scientist by profession. last night I slept late after finishing the experiment and later I missed the experimental meeting since I rushed to airport to catch the 14:15 flight.

and then Air India employee's simply tell you that flight is over booked and you are booked on next flight.
This is too much.Over that no one is entertaining you and there is no compensation.

I request who ever reads this email or complaint of mine. To compensate for the delay in flight and loss of manly hours of a scientist.

My TKT no was[protected].

I request you to take this matter seriously.

I returned to delhi on 1st I has no good access of Internet at Kolkota and I was ill for last few days.
That is why I am lodging the complaint now.

also attached is the acceptance latter of your own duty manager.

Regards
Rakesh Kumar

Fit in food

On 25.04.2014 Air India express flight IX 193 from Dubai to Lucknow there was a fly in food when referred to cabin crew they told it is a budget airline and these things are normal.

Air India Express — Irregularity in pricing

I bought two tickets online from m/s Air India Express on 08/02/2010. They charged me Rial Omani 307.420(Indian Rs.38,120) for the same.
To my surpise after few days I checked the price again It is dropped to Rial Omani 233.420(Indian Rs.28,944) I was charged almost Rs.9176 extra
Normally economy airline companys charge less for early booking and charges increase for late bookings. I thought there may be some error in their system and approached their local office here at Muscat.
I was even humiliated with the answer I got from their office staff. They say they have not mentioned anywhere that they will charge less for early booking and more for late booking. They say you should never book early.
Same air line I travelled earlier and it was not like this. They used ot charge less for early booking. I want your help to get my Rs.9176(or rial omani eq) refund

Air India — Attitude by the staff

i called safdarjung city office of Air India to re route my ticket booked on Air India to US...I was told by the operator that i have to personally come and do the needful. i asked him in today's time why not on phone as the website is unfriendly...he told me that the staff never picks up the phone thats why he suggested. I wanted to make this complaint.that too at the time of national pride like common wealth games, our national carrier is so pathetic and useless to count on.

this flight AI Express is such a lousy bus!
