[Resolved] Indigo Airlines — purposeful delay in guiding till gate close time | |||
Name : shanin n s Pnr: sfh3mj Flight: 6e 507 Seat: 28f Date: 13 oct 2018 My connection flight from chennai to trivandrum was purposefully denied by not guiding me to the gate and staff member fighting with me at the boarding pass issue counter, to purposefully make the delay by one minute. (I was informed, later that i should have been there by 4:10 am and i reached at 4:11 am, which is not true as i was there 10 minutes prior to the that and it was the operational negligence and staff fighting with me which made the time delay by 1 minute.). I already had my boarding pass and reached the indigo counter 10 minutes prior to the gate closing time (25 mins) with my boarding pass to that flight. Then i was approached the inquiry counter to find a solution, where i was left with the only option of booking another flight for 2500 rupees and a loss of more than 5 hours. Moreover, this flight timing was earlier rescheduled from 4:50 am to 4:35 am, which again gave me the time constraint, still making myself available before the mentioned time. This kind of act is totally unethical for reaping more revenue from the customers. Myself being a student and to let go this hard earned cash is disheartening. Please see to it that no one else faces such a terrible situation and please do reimburse every penny collected for the extra ticket. N. B: please verify the facts provided to understand the authenticity of the complaint. Thanking in anticipation. Was this information helpful? | |||
Nov 20, 2018 Complaint marked as Resolved IndiGo customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Verified Support Oct 15, 2018 IndiGo Customer Care's response Hi Shanin, We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. As per policy, boarding gate closes 25 min prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight. Our staff has no reason to deny boarding to passengers who report on-time. In fact, they try to accommodate passengers who report marginally late. As per our internal investigation, you reported at 0411 hrs to our boarding gate. Since our boarding gates were already closed by the time you reported, our staff was unable to accept you for the flight. Further, our endeavour is to assist our valued passengers at all times, therefore with an intention to help you reach the destination, our airport team offered you to accommodate on the next available flight with minimum charges, which were accepted by you. We sincerely hope for your cooperation and understanding in this regard. Regards, IndiGo Team | |||
