[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — unethical behaviour

Address:Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh

This is with reference to booking number : gbs7js. I have booked the ticket a day before because my friend's father expired and we had to make it early morning next day. Our boarding time of the flight was 5:00 am and we were at the gates at 5:17 am, according to the so called rules of airlines - "boarding gates close 25 minutes prior to scheduled departure time", we were on time. I could see the last air bus at the bangalore gates but indigo official said gates are closed and he will not open the gates because they have to do documentation again. I have begged him like anything even though it was not my mistake as i was before time, he said he will not do anything and asked me to go and meet the supervisor. I explained my situation to each and every official of indigo airline but none of them had humanity to understand the issue and accept their mistake. Instead, they gave us a long flight of 4 hrs 30 minutes with 2 hrs layover at hyd. My friend has traveled from us to make it on time but just because of indigo's staf[censored]nethical behavior she could not make it on time. It is good to follow rules, even we follow the rules but indigo doesnt follow any rules. My next flight boarding gate opened just 10 mins before the departure time. I want an explanation for my issue and if you fail to provide me an explanation, i am going to take next steps.

Hi Heena,

We understand missing a flight could be distressful. However, to ensure a hassle-free experience for everyone, we have to follow certain protocols like closing the gate before 25 mins of flight departure time. Sadly, you had reported at 0524 hrs, hence we were unable to allow you onboard.
Further, to make it as hassle-free for you as possible our airport team put you on the next available flight. Hope you will understand.

Regards,
IndiGo Team

I am sorry, i reached at the gate much before 5.20 AM. I am not sure on what basis are you making suhc comments. Because I have even shown time to the Indigo official and he responded to me we cant do documentation again as it is closed

Hi Heena,

As cross-checked with the concerned team, you have reported at 0524 hrs for a flight scheduled to depart at 0545 hrs. Further, our endeavour is to assist our valued passengers at all times, therefore our staff offered you re-accommodation on the next available flight without any charges as a customer service gesture. We'd like to clarify that re-accommodation is not followed as a policy, but with the intention to help our customers reach their destination. we look forward towards your understanding in this regard.

Regards,
IndiGo Team

Could you please also check with your staff that we reached there at 5:17 and then he spoke to me and other people in which so much time was wasted. Is it our fault to wait for the call response? Also, the gates were closed before time so you gave us a re-accomodation policy and that tok such a long flights. Even if you would have asked us any chargers, we would not have paid you as we didnt reach to the gate after time. Each and evey staff member redirected us to some other person instead of checking time, because their intention was to cover up their mistake.
