IndiGo Complaints & Reviews

I reached Delhi IGI Airport at 9:40 for my flight to mumbai which was scheduled for 10:25 but the boarding pass counter told me that the counter is closed. And I just have a hand bag with me. Is this the way Indigo treat their customers to just earn some more money. Because of you I had to pay Rs 4426/- at 10:00 to reschedule my flight. The gates were even not closed. Pathetic environment shown by IndiGo Airlines. This is what they are reflecting on the customers- "negative marketing" . And you guys give importance to profits rather to wealth. You can't stay in this Market for that long.

I had booking on 29th of june in indigo flight no. 6e509 indigo (06:05 in morning), and as rules say check in before 45 mins prior of departure, i was at check in counter and yet 45 mins weren't over (At airport it was huge rush, and it took me around 20 mins to in line itself to get me into airport then i was standing in check in line and took another 5-7 mins and yet there was still 5 mins and exactly 05:12 i was standing on check in counter and as rules provided by airline there was still time to cover my check in) and their staff denied check in and said, flight is boarding. And there was 7-8 people also there who had same issue, and there manager and supervisor to left spot so we couldn't questioned them and their staff send us to reservation counter saying that they could solve our problems and at reservation counter their personnel said you should had talk to check in counter itself to solve this issue, now i cannot do anything and you have to pay extra charges to board next flight and these extra charges were more than my ticket values itself, i registered complain regarding this issue to airline complaint forum too, but no conclusion provided by them yet.

I, sk alfaz firdous, son of m. A. M firdous, resident of 5/2 abdul halim lane, kolkata 700016, would like to bring to your kind notice that i had booked a flight ticket from hyderabad to kolkata, flight number being 6e539 and pnr number being kef4mj. The flight was about to depart at 10.15 pm on 3rd july, 2018. Due to heavy traffic i managed to reach hyderabad airport by 9.45 pm. I requested the staff of indigo viz. Richard to allow me to check in. He not only denied my request but also intimidated me that he would not help me out for booking the next immediate flight to kolkata. Without arguing with him, i insisted him to book the next flight for me and accordingly he booked flight number 6e353 which is about to depart at 5.55 am today i. E. On 4th july, 2018 from hyderabad to kolkata.
I would like to state here that i am deeply disheartened by the conduct of the above named person. I am a frequent traveller of indigo and i am quite shocked by his behaviour.
I would like to know from you as to why i was not given accommodation in the flight though 30 mins was left for the flight's take off. I would also want to know as to what steps will be taken against richard for misbehaving with me and intimidating me in the airport.
Lastly, i state here that i want compensation for the loss which i have suffered due to this incident.

Dear Officer In charge,
I was supposed to travel in flight 6E-51 on 2nd July, timing 05.20am from Chennai (MAA) to Singapore (SIN) due to poor communication from your customer service staffs I won't able to travel on that flight. Let me elaborate exactly what happened on that day. I have finished my check-In by around 3.50am, then I was waiting in the immigration queue and cleared the immigration by 4.37am and security check by 4.45am. At this point, I still have 10 more mins to reach the gate if the gate has been closed 25mins prior to departure. Actually, I had reached to the waiting hall at 4.50am. Without proper announcement they have changed the gate from 11 to 12. I was totally not aware of it. At around 5.00am when I enquired 3 customer service officer who is resting in the chair near Gate 11, they explained that the Gate has been changed from No.11 to No 12 and now it has been closed. When I asked them why you haven't give proper mike announcement? Mr Vivek Customer service manager says that it is not their duty. I was stunned by his reply. And I go on to ask him that you may aware that I was finished check in, boarding pass and going to flight in 6E-51 then why you haven't search for me in the waiting hall? He said that it is not in-practise in Indigo airlines, which is not a true statement. I am frequent flyer from Singapore to Chennai, many times I have travelled in Indigo airlines. In past, Indigo customer service officers will be very kind and make sure all the passengers who has done their check-in has been boarded. If they came to know that any passenger is not boarded yet, they will search for that particular passengers and alert them, which is not happened on that day. Mr Vivek convinced me that they will book in next Indigo Airlines flight 6E 53 to Singapore which is scheduled at 21.55hrs departure with minimum additional fare price. Since I have no choice, I agreed to go in next flight. In the ticket counter, they charged me Rs.9648 which is more than the actual flight ticket cost of Rs.8961.14 which I have booked for the flight 6E-51 on 2nd July, 05.20hrs. I am totally fed up the way the customer service staff acted to situation especially Mr. Vivek. He don't understand the pain of Customers despite he is very rude to me. My personal thought on this issue is at any cause the passenger who had cleared the security check 35mins prior to the flight departure should not miss the flight because of the reason that the gate has been closed. If customer service officer fails to satisfy the customers then really I don't know what the meaning of Customer Service. Hope you will understand the situation and customer views. I like to highlight I am not the only one passenger who missed the flight, there are totally 4 passengers who missed the flight 6E 51 on 2nd July, 0520hrs because of poor communication from your customer service officers. Appreciate if you have taken action against this customer service team and give compensation for the passengers who had missed the flight because of above mentioned reason. For your reference, I have attached copy of my cancelled boarding pass, tax invoice of both the flights.

Inspite of marking my check in bag as fragile indigo guys have damage my check in bag. The lock of the checkin bag has been damaged / broken. I need this to be replaced as this is not the kind of service i expected from indigo. Please reach out to me on saranya. [protected]@yahoo.com

This is the worse kind of service i have received indigo in managing to damaging a lock of a fragile marked checkin bag

I booked to go from Qatar to Chennai on 2-Jul-2018 by Indigo International flight service.

We got our bags checked in and got the boarding pass an hour before the flight time but, unfortunately in the Qatar Immigration queue we were delayed around 25 minutes due to system jam...+ the walking time from immigration to the gate along with our children (aged - 8 & 14) took us almost near to the flight start time.

We were confident that since we boarded, they shall keep the gate left open for all the passengers to alight (Which is the reality with all the flight service throughout the world ) But, ...to our shock when we landed the gate they denied us getting on to the flight.
Even after explaining the reason for our delay, the customer co-ordinator from Indigo was so rude and was keep on questioning on how come a person who checked in after us got boarded earlier than us.

She should understand as a single man can pass the immigration queue faster than those who travel with family. Further, in Immigration, we go to different official in different queue which all o[censored]s know of. Even after explaining she was so arrogant and rude about us not boarding the flight.

We being educated were able to explain and was fighting for justice to get on to the flight. But, there were 2 more passengers along with us who could'nt converse in English was pleading and begging them.

They did not respond politely at all even to them.

Is this the service being trained to the Indigo staffs?

Ashamed to choose Indigo as our travel option. We staying abroad was trying to patronize Indian company but, they showed their true colours.
It was an absolute brutal act to just walk away when the passenger is pleading for help to reach their destination.
It is not a railway or roadway where we have all the option to choose other mode of transport and reach our destination.
Many may travel with all their days planned and each day is precious for people like us who travel home for vacation.

Being an middle aged person, we were running to the core and walking all over the airport to get our baggage back. I can't imagine the same scenario with aged passengers.

A customer service is fulfilled only if the organisation is able to attend to all the customer's needs.

Mahatma Gandhiji's Quotes on customer service:
"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so."

I have been travelling for the past 18 years atleast 5 times in a year and have not experienced such a bad treatment ever in my life through any flight services (inclusive budget airlines).

Apart from the physical pain and mental harassment, I almost lost INR 80, 000 as I cancelled by return tickets booked with Indigo.
I will hesitate to use anymore Indigo flight service in my life.

My question is, if you know that the passenger is late in the bag check in itself. why you allow him to check in at that point itself? Should you not stop them from checking in if they are late.

Attaching herewith my copy of Boarding pass issued.

I've booked flight ticket for 6e-2895 for which the transaction was successful and i received a text message saying i would be intimated further regarding the booking in 15mins for which i neither got an email nor a message. When i called the customer support for further assistance the lady there was very rude to me stating that the booking got cancelled while the money was being refunded. I wasn't intimated untill i myself called the customer service.

I was travelling through Indigo Airlines 6E 187 at 3.10 hours by afternoon, dated 26th june 2018 from Guwahati to Hyderabad.Due to bad weather conditions and heavy shower at Guwahati Airport, the flight got delayed by an hour which I do understand.
After arrival at Hyderabad, collected my luggage and left the airport. To my utter surprise when I opened my luggage I found all my clothes in spoilt conditions and totally wet. None of the clothes were in a condition to be worn.I was totally in a mess because of the mismanagement done at your end regarding the luggage placement. I had to bear extra expenses for all my clothing which was frustrating and very expensive and it was quite late at night (11.00 p.m).
I do feel that, because of this distressing experience I am entitled to compensation, especially when your company had a contractual obligation to transfer my luggage in good condition.

Also ones Indigo airlines had also given me trouble by selling my pre booked seat to some other passengers.
when inquired, informed that on basis of medical ground it was given to some other passengers
.
How does it is possible to sell my pre-booked seats to someone without informing me.

When I spoke to some senior officials of Indigo Airlines, they apologize & assured me to provide special services and not to complain. I also agreed as I had an emergency.

But this is the second time that Indigo Airlines has given me such type of pains.

I therefore request you to take some urgent step and to give “justice to the customer who has taken you to this position”.

I am late in writing this letter to you as I went to Hyderabad for some treatment purpose along with my family.also the email provided in the Indigo website for customer care was not working.which took extra time.

Your attention to this matter will be highly appreciable.

Hi,

On 21st June I traveled to Delhi from Pune(PNR - DF7ZJT) with you in flight number 6E-672.
By mistake I forgot my wallet when I descended from the plane.
Then I contacted customer support on the airport and they sent the check staff to get the wallet.
They found it but INR 1000 were missing from my wallet. Last evening only I withdrew INR 1600 and got INR 600 back in my wallet.
Such services are not expected from Indigo. I would like to raise a service request and want you to look deeper into this. I still have got the receipt SMS that I had withdrawn INR 1600 from the ATM.
It wasn't a good experience; I think that was a penalty I have paid for forgetting my wallet inside. Let me know if you could check into this and provide some positive solution.

Regards,
Aman Parashar

Dear sir/madam,

I would like to state you that i was denied to board flight 6e 571 on 1 july 2018 to guwahati from maa. I am a student and the indigo have given me 'no show' status and denied to refund me through yatra bookings. I was denied my flight because i had skin infection although i was fit to board the flight as i had been well diagnosed medically and had the medical discharge proofs. Still i was not allowed to pass through and denied and denied too of the refund. I am a student and i was expecting my money. Also, i lost 6-7 valuable hours at the airport. I had a terrible experience with indigo and have decided to never again book any flights with indigo airlines. The hostess at the last gate won't listen to my causes and verify my medical documents and directly ordered a 'off-load' command to the online system. It was a behaviour i wasn't expecting from the hostess or the airlines.

Myself nikahat begum, 3 days before on 28 june i cancelled my ticket booked by make my trip from indore to banglore for 5 july. My id is nf[protected], but due to my personal reason i canceled this ticket at the same time. But i didn't get any refund amount of cancelation. After a query from make my trip they told me that it was under policy of indigo airlines. Penalty charges are higher than ticket. I never saw this type of penalty in which customer didn't get and refund of cancelation. You may charge 10%, 20% or 30% of amount but not all amount. Kindly do the needful. I want my money back.

Hi all,

I have traveled from indigo airline on 18th jun from chandigarh to mumbai from flight number 6e 264 (Pnr wetqgj), departure 12:15, seat number 6a.

During the flight veg tomato cheese sandwich served to me. Few hours after consuming the sandwich i fell ill. I had severe stomach ache which led to food poisoning.

I have been suffering from last two days with diarrhoea, nausea & high temperature. I consulted my gp and he diagnosed me with food poisoning. After few bite i felt it is stale and not smell good however i had it considering that indigo will not compromise on quality of food.

I have always enjoyed fly with indigo but severity of the food poisoning caused me terrible suffering. I have to take leave from my office and postpone my other plans.

I would like to hear from you on what action is taken to ensure it shouldn't happen in future with anyone.

I have dropped an email to register this complaint to indigo email id but not received proper response from team. Its been more than 15 days but yet to receive proper response from concern team

I priya namasudra travelling from bangalore to agartala 7.10 am flight on 30.06.2018.
I didn't receive my bag at agartala airport. I complained and fill a form for this issue. But till now they didn't call me. They told they will call me in 4 hr but its being 7 hr they didn't call. My bag was navy blue colour.in this bag i have so many costly clothes and so many books. I need my bag as soon as possible. Otherwise i need 10000 rs for clothes and my books value also.

I am annreeju ray. I have a complaint against a ground staff of indigo airlines named k. C kiran. A huge queue had been waiting for the check in of the flight 6e 2065. There was a group from which only 1 or 2 passenger was standing in the queue rest of them just broke the queue instead of so many passengers waiting. This employee entertained that and instead misbehaved with me. You can check cctv footage on 30th june 2018 around 9:20 am. I hope a strong action would be taken against this employee and i hope there would not be such incident further.

Respected mam/sir

This is to inform you that yesterday (28 july 2018) i "thomas t v" traveled in your flight "6e 2652" from coimbatore to delhi. Due to your negligence my baggage was damaged. And i would like to claim for repair or for payment or for a new baggage.

Dear sir,

My name is aarti sharma. Today i travel through indigo flight no.6e-245 from kolkata to indore. Pnr no. Hy4ksv-6e245 with my baby below 2 years.

I shown him my baby aadhaar card to verify the age.

But at the time of boarding pass they forcedly charged rs.1250/-for half ticket of my baby. I was alone in travelling.

As per domestic flight rule below 2 years child is free...

At first during security check and check in time, the departure gate was 18. Then suddenly few minutes before departure the gate was changed to 20 and we had to rush with the crowd. At the boarding gate, my hand baggage was snatched just because flight was full. We were 2 passengers carrying only 1 hand bag and that too was taken away. I asked for complimentary food on flight since the only food we were carrying was in the hand bag, but was denied. I received my hand bag at the destination airport (Ahmedabad) in a full wet condition in the conveyor belt after waiting for 35 minutes. My business documents and educational certificates were wet inside due to indigo's mishandling. My pnr is d8fkky.

I boarded flight from delhi to dehra dun today after noon & checked in 4 baggages.. Of which 1 bag (That happens to be most critical since it carries some very expensive heart medicines that are not available in dehra dun) has been lost in transit pnr - hf7ejt - 6e966... I need this bag on priority basis... You are requested to ensure that i receive this bag by tomorrow
