Air India Express Complaints & Reviews

I took this ticket two years ago and got cancelled due to travel restrictions. I have been following up with Air India express team for more than a year, even sent email to Nodal Officer also through phone. I don't how I can further escalate this

I had an Air India Express flight booked for December 01st and a connection flight with Singapore Airlines to Australia. But due to the changes in Covid regulations brought by Australian Government on November 28th, entry was restricted and so couldn’t make the travel. Air India isn’t ready to refund the ticket for a cancellation that happened due to covid restriction implemented by Australia. The connection flight airline, Singapore airlines have already refunded the ticket price. Please help get the refund on Air Indian Express flight ticket cancellation which happened not due to any personal reason but due to country level covid restriction.

I have booked 1 ticket with PNR no. HXUBVF. The flight was cancelled and I am waiting for refund since last 17 month. So many email sent to Customer Support, Nodal Officer of Air India Express but not got my refund. The company is full of inefficient and corrupt staff, so if you want to book your ticket considering it as non refundable even if clause says refundable. On cancellation they are not going to respond at all.

I am very upset with the services extended by Air India Express flight number IX-122 dated 19th December 2021 from New Delhi to KualaLumpur. Cru attending was Ms Vandana Ahuja and Mr. Rahul Gautam.
I made my reasonable protest to them for not serving what was ordered and my wife had to remain hungry.
Their argument was it was a mistake of the food serving group and they can not do much at the heights of flight. I may agree with the argument but the question still remains the same that the passenger had to remain hungry through the night.
This booking was done well before boarding the flight probably a day before, it was as per published in website and made required payments. I was never informed until the wrong dish was served that your agency is unable to serve what was ordered.

I booked a ticket on your airline ten days before . When I arrived at the airport on the 12th December day of travel, the authorities told me that you could not board this flight so I humbly ask you to refund my booking fee.

I had booked ticket from COK to DXB for 14th July 2020. As my daughter, Shreya( who was a passenger in it) got covid infected, we had to cancel the flight on 13th July. Though cancellation was done by the travel agent 24 hours prior to departure, we didnt get full refund. The excuse was given was it was vande Bharath flight. Kindly make initiatives for full refund.

Booking id MLJEGU. Tickets booked for October 2020.Flight was cancelled by air india express. No refund given. It has been more than 1 year and no proper response from customer support.

I’ve been flying from canada to Trivandrum via Dubai for more than 20 years. Last week I was flying in Dubai to Trivandrum and was in transit and for the first time I was shock d to see that at the gate they brought portable scales credit card machines snd a garbage bin and just before boarding weighed everyone’s bags with their duty free shopping and charged overweight. They clearly know people are going to buy liquor and chocolates when in transit and so most people line me were charged 100s of AED without warning. I went back out and checked my other usual airlines and no one else was doing this practice. It’s very underhanded and lacked transparency for people before shopping to be aware of this . Never happened in all my travels and left me with a very unethical feeling about how this airline is run. It’s clearly a target plan towards in transit passengers and most people were paying or dumping their purchases and clearly as shocked as I was. Very disspointed in the experience and will think again before flying AIE

With ref to PNR CQ61Z5, I purchased air tickets from Singapore to Tiruchirapalli Airindia express for my travel purpose in Sep 2021.
Due to the outbreak of the covid-19 Pandemic situation, I canceled my ticket and requested for refund in this regard. But even after continuous reminder emails, and calls Air India expresses never responded.

All the private airlines are refunded promptly for their customers. But unfortunately, Indian Branded Air India Express is still not refunding their customer's money, and the public is not fair and not suitable for their company Indian Image.

Attached is the Flight ticket with PNR no. CWGNMM.

Please note that I had cancelled the ticket 3 days prior to the departure date (Sep 10, 2021) and was entitled for a refund amount of INR 13, 283 as per cancellation policy. I was notified by the customer support team that the refund will be credited to my account within 14 days. However, until now, the amount has not been transferred yet in spite of follow up calls and emails. I had been informed that the airlines will place my case on top priority and had advised me to send email to the provided email address. In spite of doing so, I have not received any acknowledgement / confirmation mail nor response to any of my queries.
Last week, during my follow up call, the customer support provided another email address, advised me to send my concern regarding the refund and mentioned that I can expect immediate response from them. However, the result has been the same with no response.

Kindly requesting you to escalate this issue to the concerned and hoping for a solution to this issue.

I booked an Air Ticket from Singapore to Tiruchirappalli (Booking Reference - S096MA)on 03 November 2021 for myself, my wife and child. But I changed my mind and cancelled the ticket the next morning, which is 04 November 2021. Even though I cancelled before 24 hours of booking, The refund amount shown was $217.50. I am coming back to India due to loss of job and It is really disheartening to see that they are deducting $1008 as penalty fee.I received and email from the nodal officer stating that I am not eligible for the refund of full amount and I am only elgible to receive $217.50. I cancelled the ticket within 24 hours and the booking was for 19 November 2021. There is no loss for the airline.Air India express can deduct the cancellation fee. I am ok with it. In the air ticket they haven't mentioned that the ticket is VBM/repatriation flight and the fee is not refundable once it is cancelled. They have mentioned everything about the luggage and other documents needed but this serious thing about the refund of ticket fare they haven't mentioned. If they had mentioned this atleast in the air ticket I wouldn't have cancelled the ticket. Please take the necessary action to refund the amount.

Really unhappy with your decision to schedule my flight before 24 of the old departure time. caused terrible loss to us since modified time is not affordable to us.

Now 1500 AED additionally i paid additionally to book another air ticket.

I booked a ticket for 13th September from Sharjah to Trivandrum on 7th September 2021. Payment was deducted from the account but the ticket got cancelled due to payment failure. We have contacted your customer service and financial teams several times but still no response from your side.

Please process the refund as soon as possible.

I had cancelled my ticket online on 06-Sept-2021. When contacted nodal said refund has been processed to the credit / debit card used for the transaction. It may take approx. 7 – 10 working days for the amount to reflect against your account. it was on 05-Oct-2021. Till no sight of refund money in credit card. AIE simply use customer money to improve their cash flow. One of the worst rates customer care by them. All other airline including AIR India does not have refund issues. we get within seven days of cancellation.

I was booked air India express ticket Trichy to kulalampur in 15th septemper 2021, I cancelled 17th September 2021 (for some immigration issues), my PNR NO YC7MOG
