I am writing in to you to express my extreme anguish at the way your airlines are being run.
I had booked my younger sister's return ticket for an emergency trip to mumbai on 31st may pnr: v7gh5j and return on june 3rd pnr: p832tj. I believe that was the biggest mistake i committed of choosing your airlines over any other private or government airlines even though the price was exhorbitant because the time was convenient. Since she was going to travel alone and i am sure you are aware of the safety situation in country money was not a concern at that time. So i ended up spending atleast 8k more than what other airlines were charging. This was my mistake no 1 since my assumption that go air will ensure that the flight will run on time was completely wrong!!!
So on june 1st my sister reached the airport on time which was about 5:45 pm since her flight was scheduled to fly at 7:35 pm. However when she reached the airport she got to know that the flight was delayed by an hour. As she kept on waiting at the airport she got a message which informed that her flight was delayed and would now fly at 21:00. How considerate of your operations staff to inform her 30 mins prior to her scheduled departure regarding the delay. May god bless them. Also please note that the flight was delayed just by 85 mins since as per policy if it was delayed by 120 mins she was entitled for a refund. Kudos to your team for being super efficient. The boarding started on time as per the scheduled delayed departure, however even after all the passengers were seated the flight did not start moving untill 9:45 basically 140 mins even after the earlier departure the flight had not moved. Since the flight got delayed by more than 120 mins i demand for a full refund which is my rightful due. Because of the delay in your flight we had to ask someone to drop my sister to her hotel since it was too late to let her travel alone.
I thought our odreal was over. But that was far from the truth. Her return flight was for 8:20 at night from mumbai. At 5:30 pm. We got to know that the flight is delayed by 100 mins again. How do you guys mange this every single time. But this time we could not take this flight since everyone knows delhi is unsafe to travel for men post 10, forget about women. So we called your call centre and spoke to mr. Manjeet diwakar who apparently is the highest escalation point that any customer can speak to and really rude and powerless to give any solution. We almost begged him to put my sister on a morning flight since we had no one to pick her from the delhi airport. But he despite being the highest escalation point (Self proclaimed) told us that since the flight was delayed by 100 mins he would not make any alternative arrangements for us - so no booking us on the morning flight or any other airlines which by the way all were running on time. On top of all of this he disconnected our phone twice and kept us waiting for atleast 20 mins before he came on the phone. Since your executive was charging us an exhorbitant fees of 6.5k we had to take this decision of sending my sister on this flight and waiting at the airport in the morning. This time also while the boarding started on time the flight did not move on time. It started moving only at 22:36 pm again more than 120 mins, i demand a refund for this sector as well since as per policy you are required to give it to me.
Sir, we choose an airline because we expect it to fly on time. There are numerous reasons because of which a person needs to reach his/her destination at a particular time. If you and your time do not respect that then you have no right to fly any airlines. I am completely shocked the way your airlines are trying to misuse the regulations in your favour and cause extreme discomfort to the passengers.
I demand my refund and i hope atleast i will get that on time. Also, you better be sensetive to women safety appropriately and consider such requests appropriately, this time, need full refund for entire trip and strict action against non supportive staff. Will escalate this to your ceo as well.
