IndiGo Complaints & Reviews

I was travelling to mumbai from usa and then domestic from mumbai to nagpur via indigo airlines within 24 hrs of arrival from usa.
I called the indigo airlines customer service for information about allowed baggage. The representative informed me that since i am travelling international withing 24hrs i have a different rate of payment for my excess baggage which was approximately :
Rs.500 for 5 kg
Rs.750 for 10kg and
Rs.1000 for 15kg

But they never informed that we need to prebook your excess baggage.

I was surprised they charging me rs.300/kg at the time of check in for my flight. Since i did not prebook my extra baggage. I told them i was not informed about pre booking baggage but no one listened to me and i was made to pay rs.5000 for my extra baggage.

Customer service is misleading and they themselves do not have complete information. Very disappointed with the service.

Hi,

I am corporate flyer with indigo airlines and so travel atleast twice a month by your airlines.
I was yo catch 6e 3612 morning 6 am flight from mumbai to delhi.
I reached airport a bit late due to non availability of cab and was further delayed due to security check which was held up due to school picnic chaos. During security check up there were announcement by other ground staff to move ahead and do there security check up. There was an indigo staff standing over there but had not made any announcement regarding final call in fact he was busy with his mobile. After security check i headed to gate no 29. The moment i reached i saw the bus moving on several request to mr. Vipul the ground staff that he could hold the vehicle he flatly refused and was very rude to talk to. After me there were another 4 people who had reached later. All were requesting to atleast request him to talk to higher authority and let us in.
But mr. Vipul did not budge and was not interested in talking and was rather rude.
I do understand that i was late to each airport and this was my first instance to get late for the flight. Would have been kind of him to speak to us properly and atleast requested the managers to let us in. Due to chaos at security i had to miss my flight and had to pay 4600 to rebook the next flight.
I would appreciate if the ground staff should be more courteous and helpful to the flyers.
People like vipul should go under training to handle customers.
Now i have boarded this 6e 964 flight which was to leave at 7.50 from mumbai though the doors are closed at 7.48 the standard ontime closure but the captain has made announcement that flight will be delayed by 20 minutes as there is traffic congestion.
If you claim to be on time then it should be ontime always. While writing this mail at 8.20the flight has not been pushed back. When we are paying to be on time then you should make sure that flight is on time as always.

Hope that we get to know some feedback and some training programme given to mr. Vipul’sfor handling customers

I am a regular flier with indigo and on 26th october 2017 i travelled from kathmandu by 6e 032, seq. No. 0036. On my arrival at delhi i found that the suitcase which was locked had been opened. At a quick look i could not notice anything missing. But when i reached my home i found that some money is missing and the culprit has opened every letter that were in my suitcase thinking that they contained cash. This also means he had plenty of time to search through the locked suitcase.
If this continues how can there be credibility? I fly at least 15 times a year on an average since last four years. Now, indigo has become not so good regarding time keeping, and adding to it theft too... Please make an enquiry..

I had booked a indigo air round trip 8 tickets from delhi to ranchi on 13th october 2017 from cheapticket.in (Booking id: 1289904 air line pnr : b7vhwi) amounting rs. 20416.
We were going to attend marriage of my cousin brother but due to death of a family member we cancelled the tickets from the website cheapticket.in. On 20th october 2017.
At the time of cancellation they didn't showed the cancellation charges and it was not mentioned on their website also.
They had taken rs.19972 as cancellation charges which is very high.
They are neither waiving off the charges neither allowing me to travel on the tickets.
This is really unfair on airlines part. They should atleast consider genuine and unavoidable reasons. If you cant waive off my amount atleast allow me to travel on my tickets because now we can travel on the dates decided.

Hello. My name is yashodhara gogoi lahon. On 24th october 2017 i took the flight 6e-3645 from guwahati to new delhi.
The entire flight smelled of poop/cow dung, the whole time. It was disgusting. What has triggered me more to write this complaint is, my suitcase also caught the smell. This is really unacceptable from an airline like this. How unprofessional can you all be? Last year also a similar incident had happened. Please invest more on the hygiene department. It is totally awful. Just hate the entire experience.

Travelling from ahmedabad to bangalore, we have total 3 laugauge bags out of which 2 bags has damage by missing handling of your indigo team. And the same inform to your luggage handling team specially mr. Vinod d. But he has fool us he has not given any writing complaint even so many varble cumminication he told me that "you will receive call from indigo customer" and we will compensate the best but i have wait 3 to 4 hours i have not received any call than i called to indigo customer care and then customer care executive told me that he will call back within short time. But he called me very late around 10 pm and telling me unnecessary word which is not acceptable to me. I want my luggage as i have given to you at ahmedabad airport. If indigo will not satisfy us the same details will post in social media site.

Unhappy the way your indigo team handling customer. Hope you understand and do needful as earliest otherwise in future we never book with your airlines.
I will wait for till tomorrow otherwise will take necessary action.

I have more photos but unable to attached all of them, because as per policy only 2 mb is allowed so attached only single photo

Hi team,

I have charged 2250/- as cancellation charges in indigo airline against the ticket price of 3500/-, that mean i am only eligible for 1250/- as refund amount. Please note i am cancelling the ticket for 25th nov 2017 which is 32 days before from scheduling. Not getting any clarity why this charges is very high. As per the customer care it is there company policy. I have written an email to them. Please check the attached document.

This is my humble request to you all please verify why the charges is high and also help me for the same. This kind companies just trying to get more revenues with public money illegally.

Hope i will get the proper response from you

Dear sir
To introduce, i am abhay kumar gupta vp - operations, haldiram snacks pvt. Ltd. Noida. I and my family travel frequently to different destinations preferably by indigo.
On oct. 10, my family was schduled to fly from delhi to kolkata at 17.55 hours by 6e 307. The passenger details are as under
1. Seema gupta female age 52 yrs pnr sdyp2g flight 6e 307 at 17.55 hours
2. Shatakshi gupta female age 19 yrs pnr ue8yfg flight 6e 307 at 17.55 hours

They checked in well in time. Since my wife had a problem in walking so she was trying to take a lift for boarding gate instead of escalator but due to rush hours it took some time.in spite of all difficulties still they managed to be at boarding gate just before 17.20 hours at the time when a staff member of indigo was making an announcement that this the final call for passengers for flight 6e307. Though they were present in front of this person he did not allowed them to borad the aircraft and offloaded by saying that you are late. They were late or they were the only two passengers left behind to take to aircraft (There were only 160 passenger, hence boarding completed early). So instead of arranging a transport to aircraft they preferred to off load them. They were asked to take next flight without mentioning that they need to buy another ticket. They were asked to purchase another ticket and boarded the next flight at 07.35 pm. Because of all this my family has gone through a trauma and stress. We have never faced this situation in our national and international travel. We understand the importance of rules and regulations and believe in following the same. We are not like any other person after living in abroad for 30 long years travelling frequently almost every month nationally and internationally.

To cut the long story short i would like to know is this is the way to deal with two lady passenger who were travelling alone considering that the indigo flight is more secured safe and always in time. Or is this one another way of making money. I am wrting this to you becasue both the passengers have not violated any rule of airline. Simply because the indigo staff was rude all this happened. I would appreciate your positive reponse by granting refund of money paid towards buying two tickets by my family on airport, if you wish me and my family members to continue as a member of indigo family and travel by indigo. As you know many options are available, we will be forced to change our preferred airline and i mean it.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear sir,

I want to report unethical conduct and cheating on behalf of indigo airlines. We had booked a ticket from bangkok to lucknow via kolkata on 22 oct 2017. Our flight from bangkok arrived 20 mins late due to which we reached check in counter 35 mins before departure. Indigo staff straight away refused us entry and told us they cannot do anything. With no choice left we had to arrange hotel for night and flight ticket for next day which not only caused emotional harrasment but financial damages in tune of 14000 to us. We request to log a complaint against them so that we get our refund for the money we spent due to indigo unethical conduct.

I had a flight booked from patna to delhi on 21.10.2017 flight 6e 4367 after reaching airport before 25 min of departure we were told the counter was closed and we had to rescheduled the flight by paying the charges again can u please explain why was the counter closed before 30 min of flight departure we had very bad experience and there was no responsible person at the airport
We will now not prefer travelling by indigo and will share our experience with our friends n relatiives too to avoid using indigo in future

My friends flight was booked from patna to bangalore. Web checkin was done. She was present at airport prior 45 mins to depature.in the display your flight status was showing security check. After waiting for 15-20 min i went to check if boarding has started they said that the boarding is closed and flight has moved prior time. Can you please explain if you had started the boarding of passengers why was it not displayed and how can a flight leave before time without boarding the passenger who has done web checkin.
Your staff at patna airport was so rude, she did not even listen to to what my friend was saying.
Kindly look into the matter.

It's very unfortunate to complaint against go indigo airlines. I travelled on 19.10.2017 from dehradun to blore. I found two of our suitcases found their locks broken.

Its not right to your part of causing loss to customers. My travelling tickets are 6e 963 sequence no. 098, 6e 963 sequence no. 97 & 6e 273 sequence no019, 6e sequence no. 020

Dear sir/madam
This is to bring it to your notice that i flew on 17.10.2017 from mumbai to bhubaneshwar in no.6e 598 vide booking ref. Bcl5kg.
Me and my friend were denied the baggage allowance for students and had to pay for it. We were told that the booking was not made under the particular reference, when i had received the discount on the ticket price and a call afterwards confirming the privileges.
Our baggage was also not weighed properly. My friend was carrying a luggage bigger than me. Yet we were told we exceeded the allowance equally. Also no bill was provided for the payment i made at the counter except my credit card bill.
The ground staff was very casual about it and said this was a very regular thing to happen. The lady at the counter kept on calling others and checking for the claim, causing unnecessary delay.

It was a horrible experience for us and caused unnecessary stress when we had taken all measures while booking the ticket.
I always travel by this airline and this is the second time i am facing such an inconvenience. Earlier too i had cancelled my ticket and booked a now one but just before flying came to know that there has neither been any cancellation nor any booking.
This is not expected from an airline which claims efficiency!!
Awaiting your response and cooperation.
Thanking you

Hi,

I booked a flight indigo from pune to visakhapatnam using yatra and it's a connecting flight from pune to hyd and then to visakhapatnam,

Now i got to pnr when i came to airport i came to airport. They are saying i booked as a light fair booking so i checking bag is not allowed. And they charge me 200 from pune to hyd and again from hyd to visakhapatnam another 200 rupees.

400 rupees is not a big deal but i have not been communicated neither by yatra nor by indigo. One sms would have done the purpose.

This is really not the right way of earning money mentioning that we are lowest ever flight.

This is embarrassing moment for me in the airport.

I had booked in a320 flight from kolkata to delhi on 8/11, departure time 16.45 hrs which was rescheduled to 21 45 hrs, delhi landing time 00.15 on 9/11, not acceptable. Rescheduling has to be between 16 hrs to 18 hrs, not such inconvenient hrs. Indigo airlines should look into customer convenience. As such, i shall travel to noida, a distance of 27 kms which will be risky and expensive at such odd hours, not to mention of great inconvenience to all.

Regards.
