[Resolved]  Sheikh Jamil Ahmad — Missing Baggage

Address:South Delhi, Delhi

Dear Sir,

For the past few days I am distressed since my daughter working in Bangalore traveled by Air India flight AI 502 from Delhi to Bangalore vide tkt confirmation no YBXPP on 11 April 11. On reaching Bangalore she discovered that her baggage comprising of one in number large sized VIP suitcase made of red colored synthetic fiber had not reached Bangalore in the aircraft. She lodged a complaint at Bangalore airport vide complaint no AI 690552. The baggage has not been found till today. My daughter , I and my wife are deeply distressed since during the visit all her personnel belongings were purchased anew with painstaking market survey and huge expenditure, to be lost in one go through the callous handling by Air India staff. We have been given to understand that damage claim would be filed after 10 days. I spoke to one Mr Manju , a senior executive of the lost and found section at Bangalore airport on phone number [protected]. He informed that the damage claim would be filed by them through the airport manager and forwarded to the Chennai Office for realization. I sincerely hope this the procedure. I request the consumer forum to advice/assist me in realizing the damage claim. Regards. Commodore SPS Bhatti. Indian Navy

Indian Airlines — Travel Baggage not delivered to me

Dear Sir,

I had travelled from Chennai to Asmara
on 11th September from Chennai to Dubai by IC 905
on 12 th September from Dubai to Asmara by B8 333

My ticket no is : 637:4400:078:513:5
My name : Muthian Annie Mary Nirmala
Tag No : IC 359093
PNR RH5ZH5
Passport No : B2521505
File No : DX BX H 27139

Its about 3 months since my travel but I haven't received my baggage as yet.

I had asked the Eritrean airlines regarding my luggage and they had said that it is not transfered to them by the Indian airlines and that my baggage has been checked to Dubai instead of Asmara.

Could you please look for my luggage amoung the UNCLAIMED Baggage in Dubai and had it over immediately to the Eritrean airlines so that they can hand it over to me?

I had very important items like my medicines which are not available here. So it would be extermely helpful if you can look into it at the earliest.

Air India — Missing Baggage not returned even after 14 days

Hi My Name is Satya Sanampudi. My wife and kids travelled by Air India from Chicago to Hyderabad on June 14th 2008 by AI126. They checked 4 bags in Chicago and received only 3 in Hyderabad.
Lot of bags were missing and my wife filed a complaint at Hyderabad Airport. Even after 13 days, Air India didn't respond about the missing bag. Every time when call them we always get one response. We are enquiring into it and get back to you.

I wonder how much time it takes to enquire about a missing bag. I have to say that Air India is handling the baggage in the most disorganized way. I wish they look into this and take some action quickly.

I will wait for some more time, if nothing happens, I file a police complaint against Air India and going to publish in the local news papers at Hyderabad.

This is the worst service I ever see so far.

Sheikh Jamil Ahmad — Harrasments

I flew with airIndia on 31st Dec 2008 at 21.30 from london Heathrow to New Delhi, Suppose to be in New delhi on 1st jan 2009 at 11.15 am, but instead of landing New delhi they took us to Bombay.We have been told that there is not enough fuel for us to wait bcs it will take nearly 2 hrs to get off in New Delhi, as the weather condition are not good.So, We all went there in Bombay at 1300.
There was no one from airindia to apologise or give us any information about what time we are going back.
There was no good food arrangements.The food provided to us was not good enough to eat.
Then, We have been given all the wrong information, We were not geeting the right information about what time we are going back to new delhi.
All our relatives came delhi to pick us, they were waiting there, Nobody knows what time we going back.In that cold weather all our families who came there to pick us they waited there from morning 11 am till night 12 pm.
As we all landed there nearly 11.30 at night.
All this harrasment we had and our familiers.I have some plans for New years day, everything has been ruined.
Iam bit delay to log this complaint, but the reason I have written this complaint is to get the compensation for all the harrasment me and my family have and also Air india's poor customer service.

Thanks

Sheikh Jamil Ahmad — No Customer Orientation!

While booking the ticket online for my friend(using my credit card), I had by mistake put my name instead of my friend's. The confirmation page showing the flight#, date of travel never showed the passenger name!
As soon as the ticket was booked, I realized the goo[censored]p and called up the airlines customer service where I was told that there was no provision to correct the name and the only solution would be to cancel the ticket - and on cancellation only Rs.400/- (tax fee) will be reimbursed out of the Rs.5382/- ticket!!!

I called up the Duty Manager, Area Marketing Officer but everyone declined to help. No vouchers, no modification fee - only ticket cancellation without any kind of reimbursement on ticket fee!
I was given a Delhi number where I was told that they can correct this information only if its their fault and never on passenger's. What does this convey?? That there are provisions for corrections ..that steps can easily be taken...but there is absolutely no willingness to help out their cutomers. This is when we start terming a service worst and lacking total customer orientation.
Since I called up within 5 minutes of booking the tickets, it clearly indicates that this was not intentional and is definitely just a careless mistake( blame partly on the poor design of the booking website!).
If the service provider is not ready to help out a customer in these cases then it simply echoes the overall unwillingness for customer assistance and the attitude of the organization.

I then went on to book another ticket and cancel this one - costing me a total loss of Rs.5000/- and a benefit of Rs.10, 700/- to the company - they are earning twice for the same seat in the flight.
I wanted to bring it your attention that such glaring examples of poor service and lacklustre attitude towards customers will definitely lead people to look upto private providers instead of putting their faith in public sector.
I request you to assist me in receiving the refunds on this ticket.

My son, a student studying in Karnataka, traveled on 10th July by Air India Express Flight IX 390 to Mangalore from Kuwait . As usual we have been patronizing Air India for our travels to Mumbai, Mangalore since the last 15 years. On arrival the baggage did not arrive and a claim for lost baggage was filed at the Mangalore airport. For several days Air India personnel – either in Kuwait or in Mangalore could not trace the baggage neither direct me to the right source.

After a long wait, exchange of emails, telephone calls and running from pillar to post, I was informed on 19th July that the baggage was located in Egypt, but when the passenger called AI at the Mangalore Airport, they informed him that the baggage has not arrived and they will contact him when they have some news. I therefore called the Manger, Chellam Prasad, who bluntly informed me that AI does not take responsibility for delay in baggages and that the same is mentioned on the ticket and that when the baggage is found the passenger will have to come and collect the same from the airport. First of all how did the baggage destined for Mangalore reach Egypt and how long does it take for the baggage to get to Mangalore from Egypt?

The AI customer support informs that I can claim for lost baggage after 7 days, however when I called the AI authorities in Kuwait, they informed all such claims have to be done at Mangalore and when Mangalore authorities informed that claim can be made only after 21 days. People pay to get rid of stress and I paid for stress with the AI ticket. What a poor service!

Apart from the trauma the entire family went through, additional expenses were incurred as the passenger was without his personal belongings (specially clothes, books, food items, and personal items) and had to purchase new clothes as well as necessary provisions for day-to-day use at his college campus. The baggage was delivered to the passenger on evening of 25th July without any compensation. The least I expected was an apology letter. We do not expect favours but proper customer service. To date my emails for a response to the following remain unanswered - c.[protected]@airindia.in, [protected]@airindiaexpress.in, GP.[protected]@airindia.in, [protected]@gmail.com.
AI seems to be in a very sorry state due to negligence and “don’t care” attitude towards its customers.

I request your assistance and help in obtaining a fair compensation. For more & detailed information send me an email on [protected]@yahoo.com.

Monica Rodrigues
My wife and daughter, both US citizens were harassed beyond belief by Air India personnel in New Delhi, their baggage lost and the tags had only 5 digits instead of the 6 digits. They stole the baggage and then harassed them in Delhi. Never should anyone travel by Air India. Remember, their service is poor, pride is poor and quality of planes is poor. Take your chances if you fly Air India.
This happened on Aug 27 2009. No one takes responsibility, there are no managers to talk to, no one to answer the phone, emails or mails.
They also lost my baggage from Bangkok to Kolkata flight and i was compensated for only 500 RP for the delay over 48 hours.

Very bad...

Sheikh Jamil Ahmad — Money Loss due to Wrongly Mentioned Travel Class

Dear Sir,

I have travelled from Nagpur to Delhi by Air India on dated 14 Sep 2009 for attending interview in ACME Telepower Ltd.Gurgaon,

When i was booking ticket for Air india, travel class mentioned Economy in ticket. But when i went for journey with same ticket Lady employee of Air India at Nagpur Airport given me Boarding Pass with Executive Class and told me it is mistake in ticket. I was in hurry to attend important interview so i didnt do anything. Plz. refer attached scanned ticket and boarding pass for better understanding.

Due to mistake in boarding class regarding Travel class, I could not get travel reimbursement for full amount because ACME Telepower Ltd. has denied to reimburse me for Executive class. They have commited me for Economy class only.

Ultimately, i am in loss of Rs. 11,000/- due to wrongly mentioned travel class in Boarding Pass by Air India which was differ from booked ticket.

Sir, This amount nothing for Air India but as a individual person it means a lot for me. It's not matter of 1 or 2 thousands. It's a matter of Rs. 11000/- which means lot for me. I cannot bear loss of this BIG amount due to mistake of Air India.

So, you are requested to instruct Air India for paying me Rs 11000/- which i suffered due to this mistake.

Hope for positive Action from your side.

Thanks
