[Resolved] Indigo Airlines — harassment | |
Had a terrible experience today. I had an indigo flight for raipur today at 750 am. Entered the airport at 640 am and got the boarding pass at 7 am. From there, getting the security check done took a lot of time and finally reached the boarding gate at 729 am only to be informed that gate is closed and we can't board. Had to consistently request indigo staff to let us in as it wasn't our fault. But of no avail, and we weren't allowed to fly. Would like to understand whose fault was it, ours, indigo or airport. Indigo turned a blind eye and asked us to challenge the airport staff. But as a customer, we suffered because of lack of management of the airport. Generally, airlines staff call out people boarding specific flights in case of huge rush at security checks, but no such measures by the airline.in fact, we were categorically informed by indigo it's not there problem. The staff, barring one person, was extremely rude to us. We were around 10 people, who were not allowed to board the flight.. We kept requesting them to allow us in the same flight or else accomodate in next flight. After arguing for around 1.5 hours, they charged additional 2500 per person and accomodated us in next flight @10.05 am via hyderbad and connecting flight to raipur at 4.20 pm. For bangalore to hyderabad flight @10.05 am, boarding started around 20mins before i. E @ 9.45 am and gate was open till 10.15, flight got delayed by 45 mins. This is indigo and their customer services!!! Was this information helpful? | |
Feb 3, 2019 Complaint marked as Resolved IndiGo customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Verified Support Dec 24, 2018 IndiGo Customer Care's response Hi Pooja, We understand missing a flight could be distressful. Please know that boarding closes 25 mins prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight. Also, we always advise our passengers to reach the airport 2 hrs prior to the scheduled departure to avoid any last min hassle. We would like to politely state that we try our level best to accept passengers who report marginally late due to reasons or situations beyond their control as it does not benefit us when the seat reserved under your name goes vacant. While our intention is to help our passengers as much as we can at every contact point, at times it becomes difficult to achieve this goal due to various operational challenges. Further, we would like to clarify that re-accommodation is not followed as a policy, but with the intention to help our customers reach their destination at the earliest. Our staff offered you re-accommodation in the next available flight with minimum charges. We request for your understanding in this regard. Regards, Team IndiGo | |
