[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — double payment of air ticket 20 oct 2019 booking ref repmjf

I purchased two tickets online from australia on the 14 sept19 ref dl1192009bl11148 to travel from delhi to varanasi on the 20 oct 19. We reached your delhi airport counter in time which was processing passengers prior to flight on the 20 oct 19. By the time we reached the counter 45 mints later we were told that our flight gate is closed and as such, we need to purchase a new set of tickets. Your staff member then stated that she did see us in line but did not ask to come forward as it was a no announcement area. I had to purchase a new set of tickets ref no dl11920108bt90541at a cost of rs 21868 ($260.49 aud) as our hotel in varanasi was already paid for. The new fight was arranged via jaipur and reached late afternoon instead of early morning.
Your staff should have called us to complete check-in and in my view, the extra cost of two tickets was entirely due to the lack of care and procedure in place. Please issue a full refund and advise how

Hi,

We totally understand your angst. Please know that late reporting was the only reason our staff could not accept the passenger onboard. Further, our staff offered the next available flight. Our endeavour has always been to assist the passengers in the best possible way. Even if the passenger is late, we try and accommodate them on the same flight if time permits. Hope you would understand the need for the policy

There was enough time to board if your staff had called rather than spending 45 minutes in the queue. No annoucement does not mean that there is no responsibility on your part. At another counter on another flight of your airline similar placard was displayed for passengers waiting in the queue to come forward for check in. Your response is inadequate and didn't address the issue. Why there was no consideration given for passengers in the queue waiting for 45 minutes to board a domestic flight on a priority basis when your staff was taking their time in processing ? I suggest that you please review this matter and provide adequate formal response.

Hi,

We understand your frustration but reporting on-time at the counters/boarding gates is the passenger's sole responsibility and in case passengers fail to report within the designated time frame, our staff cannot accept them for the flight. Since Delhi is a silent airport, no announcement was made. However, you reported late at the check-in counters but our staff re-accommodated you in the next flight as a gesture of goodwill. We are hopeful that you will understand that re-accommodation is not followed as a policy and was offered purely to help the passenger reach the destination at the earliest and save the cost of making a completely new reservation. We request for your understanding in this regard.

Regards,
Team IndiGo
