[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — missing flight to sri lanka due to 3.5 hrs delay of indigo flight

Address:Pune, Maharashtra, 411007

Myself niranjan kondvikar and my wife varsha kondvikar had booked on indigo flight 6e103 (Pnr no. Djn8wr) departure 22.20 hrs on 14th jan from pune to banglore. We had a booking on srilankan airline ul0174 departure 3.35 hrs on 15th morning from banglore.

However, your flight 6e103 was enormously delayed. Last departure time indicated was 1.05 hrs on 15th morning. Even then we could have managed to get our flight to srilanka. However, 6e103 left for banglore at about 1.45 am from pune reaching banglore at about 3.15 am. There was no chance to catch our srilanka flight which we obviously missed.

Apart from the agony, we had to book flight to hydrabad from banglore - 6e602 - 5.25am departure (Booking ref no. Tif48x) costing rs. 5326/-
And catch the flight from hydrabad to colombo - departure 10.15am costing rs. 19124/- additionally.

Moreover, our return ticket from srilanka got cancelled as we could not board flight to srilanka from banglore. This added to our agony of further spending srilankan rs. 52090/- (Iundian rs. @ 26000/-)

Overall 14th jan delay of indigo 6e103 costed us rs. 50450/- more.

Since it was not a small delay from indgo side which takes so much pride on on time schedule adherence, why indigo should not compansate and pay this amount back to us?

We also later understood that, 6e103 is normally delayed to large extent.
