Address:	New Delhi, Delhi, 110058
Website:	INDEGO AIRLINE

I had booked three tickets under two different bookings using make my trip.com website

1. Pgtyka sanjay thapar & sangeeta thapar flight 6e-672 etd pune 23.30 for delhi

2.. H8gd4v ms ankita thapar flight 6e-672 etd pune 23.30 for delhi

I received the message that flight is cancelled for operational reasons. I was not able to find an alternate on idgo website as it was not connecting. I went to the airport requested them to book us on alternate flights today or tomorrow morning. They regretted our request and were offering flight on monday the 19 february 2018. I told them the urgency as my daughter is scheduled to depart on an international flight to london from delhi. Tickets were available on their flights on sunday and other airlines but they refused to help. We were told they cannot help. I had to but tickets on spicejet paying rs 49, 170

This is highly unprofessional and unexpected from indigo. If my complaint is not addressed appropirately, i will be forced to take it up.
