Dear indigo airlines,
I fly very frequently with your airlines as i always appreciated your services. But today while flying by 6e 889 along with my family consisting of my wife and my two minor sons occupying seat number 15 c, 15 d, 15 e and 15 f were very pained at the unfriendly, unhelpful and mechanical behaviour of the chief stewardess ms lucy. I just want to narrate my side of the story and kindly let me know where my fault lies. We are pure vegetarians and don't even eat onion and garlic. I wanted to prebook our meals for jain food as that doesn't contain onion and garlic, however finding no options in the prebooking section, i than wanted to book nuts and beverage for all four o[censored]s, but again there was no option. Finding no options available for prebooking, i booked 4 veg biryani hoping that i could exchange the same with nuts and a beverage in-flight. Also to inform you that we travelled from gau to del on 25th august and the stewards was kind to exchange our veg biryani with 4 cashew and 4 beverages and we were very grateful to her and appreciated our favourite airlines as always (In fact at all times of our indigo journey we have been exchanging our veg meals with nuts and beverages) but today while returning from del to gau i was really appalled by the behaviour, tone and tenor of stewardess lucy, which i find alien to indigo standards. Especially at a time when polished soft skills rule the airlines industry that we can perceive with air asia's etiquette after partnering with singaporean airlines. Just to make things more heart touching and painful, both my minor sons started to make demands and cry asking for roasted almonds to me and the stewardess and i once again requested to ms lucy very humbly to help me with at least exchange 1 box of almonds with the veg biryani but to my utter shock she out rightly rejected my request even for a single box of roasted almonds stating company policy.in the end we just took 4 nos of beverages and left the 4 veg biryanis to indigo. I don't know what to say further but just want to let you know my feelings because the indigo policy was also there when we travelled on 25th from gau to del (As like all other times we flew with indigo) but the stewardess handled the issues so beautifully that i was in praise for my indigo airlines and today i am left with a very bad taste of apathy and carelessness. My only request to the learned indigo management is to find bad cases of soft skills as ms lucy and train them extensively on improving their empathetic behavioural skills. Also kindly let me know where my fault lies since ionly consumed 4 beverages amounting to rs 400/- only and 4 veg byranis worth rs 600/- i have lost and all this since i had no options to prebook a meal of my choice.
Jai hind!

Would like to share some more on my discussion with Indigo representative in Baroda.
She was expecting a child and it was in morning around 6 am (thought of her shift is about change). I was not feeling comfortable requesting/arguing with her about my situation and discussion happened with Indigo's phone representative, especially looking at her situation.
She tried to pull the logs from her account but was limited only about my discussion with phone agent. ( I was helpless as i didnt recorded my conversation in phone and agent didnt wrote correct information exchanges)
Being a human, i respected her situation and paid 12K as extra baggage allowance.
The pregnant lady representative felt that it was unfair and suggested me to do complaint on Indigo website.
I was not happy at all and almost lost hope, thought that there might be one complain added in millions of complaint with useless efforts.
She requested another agent to help to log complaint, we tried multiple times but that was not even going through and the portal keeps on routing me to the chat agent.
My flight boarding time was clicked and i left. Lately i reached to USA and thought of making consumer complaints to voice out.
I was very happy with Indigo during[protected], i might have cached more than 300 flights in 3 years of India trips and majority with Indigo, but this time it didnt well.
Even for the 1st local trip with Indigo after reaching to India wasn't great. I flew 22 hours all the way from USA and Dubai and reached to Mumbai with 2 kids and spouse, local Indigo flight from Mumbai to Baroda was painful. They gave me all the four seats in different locations, Without thinking... Not sure how my 3 year old kid can manage alone for take off and landing.
I blamed myself and took a risk during take off and landing with my kid on my lap (Against the aviation law) but was not having any choice.
I am writing this not to gain anything but to have optimistic approach and to help the flyers .
