IndiGo Complaints & Reviews

Indigo team,

Francis and myself we traveled from mumbai to muscat on 23.07.2017 on flight 6e 81. We ordered 2 packets of samosas.
Since eating the samosas i puked twice on the flight and am very unwell today with diarrhea and fever.
Francis (The other passenger) also had the same experience after the flight and today he is experiencing immense body pain and diarrhea.

I am very certain that it was the old cold samosas that we had on your flight that has led to this condition. I am sure there are many who would have faced the same issue with your airline.

You do not have an option to even the heat food on the flight, it makes me wonder what primitive aircrafts indigo uses.

I have even hear that the indigo planes are the same planes which are probably scraped by some other international airlines. Which makes me think of how poor your airline is! No wonder you guys give such cheap fares.

I am sure to not travel with indigo again and will make sure none of my family/relatives do.

This is a complaint which of course will get nowhere (Complaints are of no value to you being the company that you are. I still thought of letting you know)

My sister & brother were to travel to vizag on[protected] early morning by indigo flight 6e 6211 at 06-45 hrs and return back the same evening by another flight.

All of a sudden yesterday evening[protected] i have a message that the flight is cancelled and indigo has given an option for alternate flight for a later time on the same day or the next day. They blocked the option for a flight the previous evening. Today i observe that they have finalized without our consent for the later flight on[protected] having no regard to the customers requirement.. Shame on you indigo

I guess indigo is playing with people troubling passengers. Somebody should teach them a lesson

Dear sir/madam

I have added 02 screen shots of two different fares for the same connecting indigo flight (6e-608, 6e-269) from visakhapatnam to chandigarh.in ist one you will see the details of total fare of rs. 4691/- and in 2nd the details for same ticket fare of rs.7676/-.

When asked during a customer care call from [protected], cute charges were told to be rs.2050/- instead of rs.50 as shown in ist screen shot.

It is requested that necessary information may be obtained from indigo's concerned department regarding above misguidance on its website and why it is not kept simple just by putting whole amount on first page of booking (Rs. 7676/- in this case).

On 21st july, 2017, i got the message that my flight which is from delhi to bangalore on 23rd july, 2017 at 12:40 pm is cancelled. They already cancelled my flight before which is at 10:30 am and gave me this one but again today i got message that this one is also cancelled. I inquired about that on +[protected] and their representative told that there is no flight which is within the range from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. I told this is not my fault, flight is cancelled from your side so you should give me some options which are at least suitable according to the time of my flight. Then he suggested me that you can pick flight at 9:20 am (On 23rd july, 2017). I told i will confirm in sometime. When i called again after 2 hrs they told the flight is full and there is no other option. Sorry for the regret.

Indigo airline is cheater. They create trouble for their passengers. I chose the timings so that i could reach destination within time and safely and i paid extra amount for that but these people created trouble for me. They did not even care about women's safety. They are cheaters.

Dear sir/madam, i am a resident of abudhabi. I had booked a mumbai-chennai ticket on jul, 8th 2017 flight 6e 768.14:40 — 16:50. I arrived at the airport and checked in my baggage. I also got boarding pass. We were 4 passengers. I was carrying liquor which i realized at the time of security check and they asked me to go to indigo desk for help, me n my wife went and ask for the solution. Inspite of giving the correct advice, they made us go to and fro to airport office and so on. My children cleared the security and my wife also arrived near the counter. Inspire of looking at her, mr girish who was on duty at that time just closed the area and said you have missed the flight. My husband also requested a lot to the security personal to allow to go fast but they were very non cooperative. We were not late and we were at the airport holding a boarding pass intact near your desk, then also they didn't bother. We were asked to throw the liquor which we did then also they didn't wait for 2 minutes. They are telling protocol? This is not all acceptable. We just requested to accommodate us in the next flight, those arrogant and unprofessional people asked us to pay rs. 35000 for 4 tickets. What about the money which we had already paid and could not board the flight. What kind of service do you provide? You don't bother about how your passenger suffer? If we would not have arrived on time then there was no point in requesting them but we were very much there. I here by would like to strongly forge a complaint against your manager in charge at the mumbai airport ms. Clytra, ms. Poonam d. They were behaving as though we are defaulters and we have committed a very big mistake. They didn't make an announcement because its a silent airport. Understood but atleast when you know that all the passangers are very much there at the airport right in front of you, then help them to board a flight. Pathetic airlines and arrogant staff. We would never ever travel with indigo. I request you to kindly refund my funds after deducting whatsoever charges.

Highly disappointed,
Expecting some co-operation,

I received call from ur company the told me i have been recruited for indigo airline cabincrew profile. They told me to pay the amount which now has excedded upto 90k+.
Why are u fooling people like this?? I have complaint about it in the police. I want all my amount refunded. I got the call from miss. Sonal sharma from shine:[protected]. And from indigo manager:[protected].
Plz refund me the amount... Plz plz. I have all the amount paid receipts for the proof.

Hi indigo team

This is a very unpleasant experience which i need to share. I got misleaded by the ground crew. I reached the indira gandhi domestic airport t1 prior 60minutes i. E. Before 1 hour, by reachin there i was asked to stand at the express counter and not the normal counters though it shouldn't be the scenario, because according to my knowledge and experience it should be only before 45-40mintues. Thereafter, i stood there for full 45mintues while i kept telling the indigo ground crew that my flight is on 6:45 a. M. At dot 6:35a. M they tell me the flight is full n they cannot accomodate me.
So this is what i face after getting up early in the morning standing in the express que which was asked by indigo's ground crew and ultimately miss my flight which was extremely essestial for me as i had a business meeting to attend.
So not just a monetary loss but a loss at the end of my company and also a physical harrashment as well.
My request to the forum is to loge a complaint against indigo airlines for misleading and giving wrong information to the passengers.

I booked a flight from. Mumbai to amritsar
From indigo airlines
On 10th july 2017
The flight was to depart at 10 35 am in the morning
As per the policy we were to reach 45 minutes before the departure
We were 50 mins before but we were not allowed to board the flight
We were misguided by the staff and thus when we reached the counter they started arguing with. Us that you are late hence you cannot board the flight
The staff was rude and they harrased us we left with no other option had to book another flight with vistaras
Thus we request a refund
Our flight tickets worth rs 6000 (Approx)
Got wasted
And we had to book another tickets for rs 14000

Indigo boasts of a facility of additional 10kgs of checked in baggage to students. However, in practice, they seem to be shying away from extending the same. I had booked a ticket for my son from delhi to managlore, specifically selecting this option while booking. However, the airline, without even informing me, has not provided this facility. I have contacted their consumer complaints department as well the senior management, including their ceo. The top management has not even bothered to respond to my mails. The chain mails are reproduced below :

Now i know that all this talk of customer focus is nothing but just a sham.

If the top management of indigo doesn't even have the curtsy to respond to a customer what can one expect.

I guess it leaves me no alternative but to go to the social media with this chain mail.

Thank you for not being of any help.

Dear madam,

Further to my mail to you dated june 15th (Which i had also sent to the customer relations), i have got a response from your customer relations cell. Frankly, i can't even understand what they are trying to tell me as reason for denying a genuine request. (Please read the text marked in bold by me, in their mail).

Once again a request to please look into the matter.

Dear sirs,

At the outset, let me introduce myself. My name is rajesh mehrotra and i am executive vice president, heading the human resources function for a large multi-national company. I had recently met mr. Aditya ghosh at the randsted awards, wherein he had talked about the customer focus of indigo being above everything else. However, my experience has been a little otherwise.

I had recently (On june 8th) booked a ticket for my son from delhi to mangalore for july 21, 2017.

While booking the ticket on your website, i had clearly selected the student option and i also got a pop-up which said that it is applicable only for students above 12 years and that he would need to carry his student id while travelling.

When i got the ticket on my email, there was no mention of the higher baggage allowance mentioned anywhere. On calling your call centre a couple of times, i am now being told that the ticket is booked as regular passenger and not as a student ticket.in addition all i hear from them is that i have made a mistake while booking on the website.

While the fare difference is nominal and of no consequence, the extra baggage allowance is of great significance to students travelling home for holidays.

I have tried my level best talking to the people at your call centre who in turn have also spoken to their supervisors but completely in vain. All they can offer as a solution is cancel and rebook or pay the extra baggage allowance for the 10 kgs. It seems that nobody has either got the delegation or they are not willing to exercise the same even for a thing as small as sanctioning an extra baggage allowance to a genuine student.

Now this is not fair, if you have a policy then it should be made available to all genuine students, otherwise what is the point in having a policy.

As a last resort i write to you with a copy to mr. Ghosh, to help my son get the 10 kgs extra baggage allowance on his travel.

The booking reference id for his ticket is edzexg.

Hoping to get a positive response from you soon.

Warm regards
Rajesh mehrotra

I was about to travel hyderabad - bhubaneswar-kolkata through indigo flight 6e-264 having pnr sck6qj on 11th july which was scheduled to be departed at 17:20pm. I reached to the check in counter at 16:40 pm. The check in counter personnel denied to give me the boarding pass inspite of requesting him repeatedly and i was not carrying any checked in luggage as well. When i had a discussion with their senior authority, they rather told that...

Sir,
I one of the worst air line is indigo admin and their approach towards customer service.
1. On 21.05.2017 while i took boarding pass for my onward journey to hyderabad at ranchi airport, after reaching kolkatta i have boarded hyderabad flight took seat as per ranchi boarding pass assigned seat, to my surprise the same seat was assigned to another passenger, the ground staff made bizzare argument and finally forced me to change the seat. Fault of mis management by indigo passenger had to suffered.
2. Secondly i booked another ticket mumbai to bhubaneshwar to one my client, where i requested to change in middle name as per id card, it was informed by their i have to purhcase new ticket, by which they can earn more money, indigo you started cheating customers, soon customers will teach you lesson.

Dear mr. Bhattar,
Greetings from indigo!
On the same note, thank you for your email.
We fully understand your concern and would like to assure you that customer satisfaction is our utmost priority.
With reference to your email, we would like to inform you that passengers can carry a maximum weight of 15 kg in their check-in luggage and 7 kg in their cabin baggage per passenger. Further, we’d like to clarify that in case a passenger is traveling with an infant, they can carry an additional 7 kg in their cabin baggage.in case a passenger carries baggage weighing more than the mentioned limit for check-in, an amount of inr 100.00 is chargeable for the first 5 kg per passenger. An amount of inr 300.00 is chargeable per kg if the excess baggage exceeds the first 5 kg.
Under booking reference ed3qht, the total check-in baggage allowance for mr. Bhattar and ms. Rathi was 30 kg. The total check-in baggage weighed 48 kg. We’d like to share the breakdown with you:

Total check-in baggage allowance under booking reference ed3qht: 30 kg.
Total check-in baggage: 48 kg
Total excess baggage: 48 – 30 = 18 kg
Cost of first 10 kg excess baggage (Chargeable at inr 100 for the first 5 kg per passenger): 100 x 10 = inr 1000
Cost of 8 kg excess baggage (Chargeable at inr 300 per kg): 300 x 8 = 2400
Total cost of excess baggage = 1000 + 2400 = inr 3400

We hope this clarifies your concern.
Once again, thank you for your email.

Thank you and regards,

Hi,
I am writing this mail to all of you as your customer relationship people are not ready to do anything for the trouble cause to me and my family.
Or all you people have kept your mouth shut and eye close and have made a policy to trouble customer and then do nothing for them.
U people say and only stay on time and other services are of low value or it's indigo value to do same.
This is my 3rd mail for the trouble and harassment caused to me and my family.
You people can check my trail mail also.
I want my compensation and extra money charged by your people back at any case.
Hope as being indigo employee you also don't follow what your people do.
As a service provider you people should hear customer queries but your people act as they are doing favour i think you also know it's not also you people in the market.
If like this goes on by your employee i don't think you will be able to sustain in the competitive market like aviation.
I want my resolution to be solved asap or i may have to look for other to do same.

Hi suraj,
This again has been a very pathetic travel at the start itself. As spoken to you yesterday you told me that infant luggage of 7kg can be clubbed in check-in but in bangalore airport your people denied the same as have charged me extra for that.
Your colleague jency in bangalore airport is very rude and don’t know how to speak to the customer and she also tried to make fun of me. She also calculated my in hand luggage by taking me to counter if she wanted she could also have waited my cloths that i was wearing. Such a ridiculous staff indigo is having who knows only to harass the customer or it’s airline policy so that the employee also act on same manner.
My total luggage for check-in was 51kg which includes 7kg of infant luggage also as spoken to you yesterday.
But they have charged me 18kg extra and have paid rs 3400 but i was supposed to pay rs2300 for 11kgs.
My hand baggage was of 18kg which she also checked but it was having 3.5 ltrs of water for baby which was emptied during security check. So it was 14.5kg including all thing even my laptop and wallet as she checked everything and harassed me.
I didn’t want to talk to her as she was not ready to listen and wanted me to keep shut and i think one of the worst people i have met in all service industries.
Horrible experience again from you guys. I think now it has become trend of indigo.
I don’t know what you will do but i need my compensation for the harassment and extra money which you people have charged.
