IndiGo Customer Care's response Dear Ms Gupta,
Thank you for writing to IndiGo.
With reference to your request, we understand you were unable to board flight 6E-321 from Mumbai to Kolkata on 8th December 2017
I would like to politely state that we try our level best to accept passengers who report marginally late due to reasons or situations beyond their control as it does not benefit us when the seat reserved under your name goes vacant. While our intention is to help our passengers as much as we can at every contact point, at times it becomes difficult to achieve this goal due to various operational challenges.
Further, your feedback definitely matters to us and we would like to assure you that we have shared your feedback regarding your experience at Mumbai airport with the Airport Manager – Mumbai, who in turn will counsel the staff to assist our passengers accordingly to provide them with a hassle-free journey.
We would like to inform you that the seat on your original reservation went vacant and therefore as per policy the complete booking amount gets forfeited. However, our staff at the airport offered you re-accommodation by charging you only the necessary fee which was willfully accepted by you.
Ms Gupta, we would like to clarify that re-accommodation is never followed as a policy. It was offered purely as a gesture to assist you in saving the amount from being forfeited and reaching the planned destination.
Thus, we are not in a position to offer any refund in this regard.
We request your kind understanding on the need for our policy and look forward to serving you again. Thank you for taking time to communicate with us.
Regards,
Team IndiGo
again same reason why your counter que took the huge tiime time to issue my boarding passes.
At the outset, we sincerely regret the experience you had. We have investigated this matter internally with our concerned team and would like to summarize our findings for you.
You were booked to travel on flight 6E-972 from Kolkata to Port Blair which was scheduled to depart at 06:15 hours on 8th November 2017. As you may be aware, boarding gate closes 25 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. As checked due to multiple departures for the day we were facing high passenger traffic on our counters. Our staff tried their best to expedite the procedure to maintain flight schedules, hope you would understand. However, it is pertinent to note that reporting on-time is the passenger's sole responsibility and you have reported at ¬05:55 hours which is 20 minutes prior to the departure. Also, we strongly advise our passengers to reach the airport 2 hours prior to the scheduled departure to avoid any last min hassle. As our boarding gates were already closed for your flight, our staff was unable to accept you for the flight.
Nevertheless, we believe that this could have been handled in a better manner. We have shared your experience with our team. It was never our intention to inconvenience you. In addition to it whenever complaints from our passengers such as you are received, stern internal action is initiated on the enhancement of our services. This may range from briefing the concerned staff to putting them under strict supervision.
We hope that you will understand the need for our policies and see this matter in the right spirit.
Regards,
IndiGo Team
