[Resolved]  Jazeera Airways — Lost Baggage and No compensation

We traveled to Bahrain on 26th April for the 2009 Bahrain F1 grand prix race from Mumbai. We were traveling exclusively to watch the race and were returning the same night. We checked in our luggage which contained our official race merchandise, caps and cameras for the race. Upon arrival in Bahrain airport, our bags did not come out.
PROBLEM 1: NO JAZEERA REPRESENTATIVE AT ANY AIRPORT
We tried to lodge a formal complaint at the Bahrain airport but were surprised to note that there were NO Jazeera reps available. Their office was shut and locked and we were told that we should check at 7:30 PM.
PROBLEM 2: NO COMPENSATION
We reached the racing venue without any of our essential items. In the desert heat of over 35 degrees, we needed our caps and gunglasses to protect us from the blistering heat. We had to purchase a cap and sun glasses as there was no other option. We also had to buy another bag for the return journey back home as our luggage did not arrive even when we returned at night. Needless to say our entire experience was ruined due to Jazeera Airways.
PROBLEM 3: NO OWNERSHIP OF RESPONSIBILITY
Upon our arrival in Mumbai, we followed up on mail and phone trying to contact the Jazeera Airways representative. For 3 days we received no word from them. Finally when we threatened with legal consequences, they managed to track down our bag. They mentioned that after we returned from Bahrain, our bags had gone to Bahrain and come back TWICE !! And they also had the audacity to blame another airline stating that they deliberately withheld our bags as they had competing flights and were trying to ruin their reputation. (I have this on mail)
PROBLEM 4: FALSELY ACCUSING ANOTHER AIRLINE
I honestly dont care if another airline had our bags. Isn't it Jazeera's reponsibility to ensure that our bags are with them and are delivered along with the passenger?
PROBLEM 5: BLATANT IGNORANCE OF OUR COMPLAINTS
We finally got our bag 1 week after we returned from Bahrain. For 1 week, Jazeera did not know where this bag was and after collecting the same, they have stopped taking our calls or responding to mails regarding compensation of costs of essential items we purchased in Bahrain.Its very clear that they are trying to hold out till the last minute when the receive a filed legal complaint from us.

So please beware and think twice before ever buying a ticket on Jazeera Airways. You may think you are getting a good deal, but when you buy that ticket, just imagine how your holiday will be ruined if they loose your bags and how much time you may have to waste while on holiday or when you get back to work to get your bags back.

Hi,

I had booked an online ticket. I had booked the ticket using my friend’s credit card. At the airport counter I was informed that I will not be able to travel since I have booked the ticket using my friend’s credit card. My friend who booked the ticket was present in front of the airline official along with the credit Card.



Since this rule is unique to Jazeera airways I was not aware of this. I don’t remember getting a message on my computer while booking the ticket. May be it was because of the pop up blocker or it missed my eye. However I read through the ticket print out and nothing about the credit card was mentioned. I believe that it was their duty to include this information in the ticket.



The airline staff present was there Marina Palude. Her attitude was rude and unacceptable. The basic quality required for anyone interacting with a customer is empathy. She was not ready to listen or even suggest a solution. There was a passenger who came before 57 minutes of departure. He was denied boarding because he was late by 3minutes. Even I was sent back. I had to reach Dubai urgently since I needed to resume office. Eventually I lost a valuable day in office.



The impact of such irresponsible behavior from a staff is far reaching. I decided then and there I will not travel by Jazeera anymore. There will be at least 10 people who will ask me how my journey was and I will tell them how I was treated. I am sure this will be the case with the other gentleman who was denied boarding. Because of one staff the Company loses at least 20 passengers forever.



If the organization has some customer orientation, at least refund the ticket fare and please take some corrective actions against such irresponsible attitude towards customers.


did u get any positive response? what steps did u take?
You are right, jazeera airways doing a cheating business. I am very sure this management is not capable to run an airlines. They can do a fish business. thats better. please dont go anybody to jazeera airways
I have also same experience like you. but atlast i got refund. they are the real cheater. they will charge antire customers like this only 1 of 1000 will come and ask for refund. what an intelligent they have

Jazeera Airways — very poor service and improfessional behaviour

I had asked them to apply for my visa for UAE, 8 days back, bu t till today i. e 3 rd december 2008, i had not provided by visa copy even my calls were also not been answer tomorrow late night is my filght booking. and i am going for exam purpose and in this situation how can i study.
I flew from Delhi to Kuwait on January 1st 2009, but when I arrived only one piece of baggage came off the carousel. There had been a stop in Dubai. We were a party of four, two of whom had to get back to Canada, and had to purchase clothing for work that was starting on January 5th. We filed a missing baggage complaint in Kuwait, and have been assured all the relevant parties have been contacted, but after fourteen days nothing has been found. More than that, I have twice sent an email to Jazeera, and have yet to receive a reply. My luggage contained a very beautiful kimono that I loved, as well as Christmas presents from family members, and gifts to take back to Canada. I am disillusioned, to say the least,
Sincerely,

Biggest chor company.
This is typical of Jazeera Airways, they also ruined my holiday to Dubai by loosing my luggage.

No Rep, No Comp, No Apology and not only that when your baggage does turn up you have to go and collect it yourself as a-posed to them delivering it to your hotel.

Very poor service and a bad reflection on the Middle East as a whole, if it was Europe then they would be investigated, fined and eventually shut down.

PS, You won't be alone either, they tend to loose half the passengers luggage each and every time.
