Indigo Airlines — Extra charges levied

Pnr: XQ8LGG

I did web checkin 8 hours prior to boarding, but even after successfully completing it I wasn't awarded the boarded pass. Then the next day when I reach the airport with sufficient margin, I find there are long queues at the baggage checkin counters. When my turn came I was told that it was already late and the window was closed, and I was directed to the reservation counter by the IndiGo staff. There they booked a ticket for me for the next flight available to my destination and they levied an extra charge of 2500 INR. Now what I don't understand is that why was this extra charge levied from my pocket even when it was not my mistake. Why did the IndiGo website servers not award me the boarding pass in time and caused me to wait in the long queue at the airport? Why did they even not care when I told them that I am not medically fit right now and I was going to Jaipur to SMS hospital for medical treatment only. Plz can anyone answer these questions?

Dear Mr. Verma,

We regret the experience. Your boarding pass was generated at 0424 hrs for your first flight scheduled for departure at 0850hrs. The check-in counters close 60 min prior to departure time. Since you reported late, our staff was unable to check you in on the same flight and re-accommodated you to the next available flight with nominal charges of INR 2500.

We look forward to your understanding.

Warm regards,
Team IndiGo
Hi,

I find it really surprising that you are unable to understand my concern here, when I read your response quoting "Since you reported late, our staff was unable to check you in on the same flight", since you noticed that I was late but forget to take into consideration the 'causal factor' for my late arrival at the window. But I still have hope for justice and would like to bring into your notice the fact that I arrived late at the window on the particular day as your website servers did not allot me the boarding pass and the baggage tag at the time of web-checkin which I did 8 hours before. Had I got the boarding pass and the baggage tag previously only, I would not be compelled to stand in the queue at the airport and consequently be late for the flight.

I request you again to check your website servers logs/records and find out why were the 2 items not alotted to me after my successful web checkin.

Regards,
Aakash Verma
