[Resolved]  Sheikh Jamil Ahmad — Refund of cancelled tickets

Address:Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

Two tickets were booked by Air India from Mumbai to DXB and cancelled on 08.05.2013 through goibibo.com portal, Neither the portal nor Air India is willing to commit dates for refunds


Dear Sir

This is shocking not to say the least. Tickets were booked by your carrier and not by any other portal for transporting and hence payment was made to you. This shirking of responsibility is considered very seriously and please note the kind of terse response we get from you can be counter-productive for the airline company.

Once again we request you to kindly look into the matter and advise the status of payment immediately.

Dear Sir/Madam

This is with regret that we note that our booking for the following passengers were cancelled on 8th May 2013 with the above mentioned reference, we have yet to receive the refund amount from the travel portal who claim that Air India has been holding the payment.

This is not in line with any good business practice for a major airline and immediately seek your intervention to release the same within 48 hours of this email. Failing which we will perforce resort to escalate the said issues not only with all forums we deem fit but also take our case to the media.

Air India — Refund issue

Hi,

I am Sarat, I had booked AI flight Cochin to Chennai on 26th May 2010 IC 519. THis flight was not operated and while we were on our way to Airport, we got the information ffrom Air India on the same and we had to come back and had to tak next day's flight.

Flight was booked throgh makemytrip.com and when i contacted them for refund, they say that I have to get the cancelled ticket signed and stamped from AI office and send the copy to makemytrip. This is requested by Air India , not makemytrip for the refund.

On this scenario, AI knows that flight was not operated, they know that this was informed to the customer before 2 hrs of the flight while we were on our half way to Airport. Now AI telling, we have to come to Airport or AI office and get the ticket cancelled and stamped for full refund and send to makemytrip

The amout of Refund is 2990.00

I have cancelled my KF, Jet and other flights which was booked thru makemytrip there was no such requirement from the Operators side till now.
Now if I have to get this done, I have to waste my halfday time, Rs.200-500.
I ahve already lost my one day time and taxi charges when the flight got cancelled.

Please let me know how to proceed. Hope I get a satisfactory feedback
