IndiGo Complaints & Reviews

This is to the reference that I, Mr.Dibakar J.Nayak aged 52years work in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, mumbai. I was harassed at the Biju Patnaik Airport yesterday morning dated 15th march 2016. I was coming to mumbai from Bhubaneswar in the Indigo flight, flight no 6E-293 scheduled at 8:50 am and my seat no-21B.The airport staff were rude to me and seeing that i am getting late stopped me and told me that i was carrying more than allowed baggage weights and told me to remove everything at the last moment although knowing that i was getting late and removed all the food items which i had bought from my native place. Also when i called up my relative to collect the food items and when he came within 15 minutes, they said they threw away all knowing that i requested them to keep it till my relative arrives. And i know they are lying seeing all the tasty sweets and food items from my village. Also the airport staff were not cooperative, in all the commotion i fell down and hurt my knees, everybody saw, but didn't come to my rescue . Even i showed them my identity card -I am a Central Government Employee and aged 52 years . After all this one security personnel came and asked for my mobile phone, knowing that i am getting late and last call was given for me . They didn't even bother to return the phone to me and i came to Mumbai without my phone. Now I am terribly upset by this act. This is truly inhuman. Please take strict action. They took all the food items which i had bought with so much love for my kids. Everybody are upset. If this is a treatment to a native person, being an odiya .then what about treatments to other outsider and tourist .

My uncle who is a bro of don bosco in madhya pradesh was charged for excess baggage at the airport and it has become one year and he did not get the refund because it was the airline fault there 2 people mr bhupendra and mr prakash who treated him badly that he felt hurt

Please refer to pnr no. G6wc9p from mubai(Bom) to ranchi(Ixr) for two passengers all sr. Citizens of the age of 75(Male) & 69(Female) by indigo flight 6e-467 on 16.03.16 at 12.30 noon. While boarding at mumbai we were given two boarding passes each one from mumbai to patna and from patna to ranchi with different seat no. Whereas the flight was scheduled to ranchi via patna. At patna we were asked to change the seat alloted which we faced much difficulty to shift with hand luggages from one place to another. Please look into the matter sympathetically.

Hello sir,
we reached airport at 1:35pm. At 2:15 we started to go for baggage checking. It took some time for scanning. After that at around 2:20, we were in queue for boarding pass
after one or two people only, and when our turn came, they denied to make boarding pass for us.
They said its closed go to another counter. And when we went there the another counter person said that it is also closing even she was also making pass for the person just before us in queue. We requested also to plz make our boarding pass. but they simply denied. Very poor service i felt by indigo employee. it was urgent and they didnt listen at all. I wont suggest anyone to book through indigo in future even if it is cheapest fare. Becoz we didnt make any mistake here and yet we missed the flight and paid the price just becoz being in queue took little time.
This is total unfair and for this if i'll have to go further, I'll go.
I hope you will help me.

This is in reference to my ticket number / PNR - PCW5RQ on which I was not allowed to travel on March 10th 2016 on flight number 6E53. Indigo ground personnel Ms Arpitha B has not allowed me to travel on my flight making reason that I do not have sponsors PR copy / hotel booking and in-sufficient funds.


This is for your kind attention I have sponsored for my travel and visa was taken by Singapore Local PR and later his ID proof also shown to indigo personnel on request and doing so too I have not been permitted to travel. Can you give me the reason for this ...


And more over I had INR Rs 45000 with me for my expenses and rest will be taken care by my brother in Singapore.


Please establish the reason for not allowing me to travel as after I have all my docs ok how come an Indigo ground personnel can stop me saying I need to show $2000 in hand in order to travel. Please find the visa requirements stated in the www.ica.gov.sg website..

So how come an official from Indigo Airline can stop me boarding my flight. So please explain me and I have been totally harrassed and mentally fed up with this incident and there was a big monetary loss incurred due to this action by Indigo personnel.

My daughter and I booked a flight with your airline, flight no. 6E32, on March 11, 16 which scheduled to depart from Kathmandu at 14:45 and arrived to Delhi at 16:05. During the flight, the captain announced due to bad weather, we had to fly to Jaipur, we landed at Jaipur airport for some time and flew back to Delhi around 19:40.
We had a connecting flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi with Etihad which scheduled to leave Delhi at 20:50. After we deplaned and went through customs and immigration, we missed the flight and we had to rebook two tickets which costs us $1607.54 USD. (803.77 each)
It is not our fault we missed our original flight and we should not be punished by having to pay for the tickets.
I would like IndiGo to reimburse us $1607.54 USD.
Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

You guys suck at providing quality food. I had a sandwich (Tandoori Chicken) and a mango juice. Dude, I got stomach upset and lead to food poisoning.

I have been frequent traveller for indigo flight .I was traveling from US to Mumbai and then took Indigo flight from Mumbai to Ranchi .Indigo flight gives 15 kgs baggage limit in domestic flight and I had 21 kg of luggage with me, when I reached mumbai airport the Indigo charged me for 10kg extra weight on my ticket.I was compelled to pay Extra luggage of Rs.2500/- though I reduce few kgs of my luggage and sent it back with my relatives still I was forced to pay more than the regular baggage fee(extra 6 kgs only) .I had a very pathetic exp with indigo this time.They are showing baggage weight difference at airport and charging abruptly with innocent passengers.The staff are ill -mannered and dont have any respect for senior citizen.I suggest airport authority to keep few common weight machines (I can verify by checking my weight and my baggage weight) so that the baggage staff can not simply milk money from passengers.I will never encourage I want Indigo airlines to immediately refund Rs.2500 and stop cheating passengers in this way. I also found that many of my co passengers on the same flight had a similar experience with Indigo airlines in the past as well. If I do not get a positive response from Indigo airlines on this matter, I plan to refer this incidence to Weights and measures department, Govt. of India.

Hi,
I have booked on behalf of my wife and child for 8th of May at 8.50 PM flight on 12th of January. Today suddenly i got a sms saying the flight got delayed to 10 PM which will be reaching in Bangalore at 12 AM where i have to take a another flight which is at 11.50 PM.
While discussing with customer support they suggested me to reschedule the flight by paying the cancellation fee. As a consumer my only complaint is why should we suffer when some inconvenient happens with you. I would have accepted if i would have been the passenger but its the safety for my wife and daughter which i can not compromise
I have the early booking for the same day so i can not afford to delay the flight after 11 PM. Therefore i request you to reschedule my flight to the flight which are coming earlier on the same day without any additional charges.
Request your quick response on the same.

Dear Sir,
I frequently use your flights. I booked a flight with PNR 06YWGF on 7march 2016. When I came at airport firstly I check in and take my ticket. After that I went for security check. At that point the security officer told me that they will not allow 'Ghee' inside airport. Then I went back to the Indigo ticket counter then I told the whole matter to the person who gave me ticket . He said give me your Ghee and call your relatives to take back from room no. 13. But when my relative came n ask about Ghee then they said there is no such Ghee.
I want to inform you that its not a big issue but your employees spoil your reputation. Its your duty to take care of your customer and his belongings. After this issue I and all my relatives will never use your flights till you send me a confirmation about any action on this issue.
Thanking you

Dear Sir,
I had booked a Kochi-Mumbai ticket on Feb 23rd 2016. The booking reference number is RDI4FN. On March 9, 2016, I had to cancel the ticked. The total cost of the cancellation is Rs 4, 350.00, with the Cancel Change Fees itself Rs 3, 590.00. That is all the airline has charged me more than 70% of the cost of the ticket, when the cancellation has been done more than 1 month before the date of travel. The airline will of course cite this as “as per policy”, but nevertheless in my view as customer, this is nothing short of looting. I write with the hope (not much !!) that the airline will reduce this “charge” at least to a reasonable.

Moreover, seeing how airlines function, this is also a hope that the airline industry seems more competition, and stricter oversight, in India, so that the interests of “aam adhmi” customers like me are safe guarded.
Please also record this as my total dissatisfaction with Indigo.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I have booked a ticket for two passengers on 4th March 2016 for an Indigo flight from Delhi to Bangalore for 24th April 2016 on the official website of Indigo airlines.
Flight number- 6E 643
Departure time- 11:00
After confirmation of the ticket, I tried to book a ticket for 3 more passengers on the same flight but was unable to find the flight details on the website of Indigo airlines.
Later, I tried to book the ticket for the same flight through the website makemytrip.com and found a message stating that the flight numbered 6E 643 is non operational on 24th April 2016. I immediately contacted the customer care of Indigo airlines. The customer executive stated that the flight is not operating on the above mentioned date. When I informed about my booking and asked him to arrange refund of the entire amount paid to my bank account, he asked me to hold for 2 minutes. Later, he informed me that the flight is operating and booking of tickets is closed and advised me to cancel my ticket and try booking for another flight. As per his guidance, I asked him to cancel the ticket. Later, I found out that only Rs.3258 would be refunded out of the total amount of Rs.7608. The customer care executive misguided me regarding this to avoid refund of entire amount.
When I checked with other travel agents and websites, I was informed / found that the above mentioned flight is not operational.
Since they have hosted a non operational flight on their website, causing losses to the customers who booked their tickets, I request you to check into this matter and advise Indigo airlines to refund of my ticket amount i.e., Rs.7608/- at the earliest..

Today (04.03.2016) I travelled by INDIGO Airlines flight no.: 6E 591 from Vadodara to New Delhi, PNR: WGUGGE. When I reached Delhi & received the bag, I was zapped to see its handle missing. I immediately brought to the notice of INDIGO Airlines sr. staff ( I am not sure about the name but starting with A, I think Akhilesh) on duty at terminal 1C.
To my surprise the 1st comment from INDIGO staff even before listening to me fully was " this is minor & nothing can be done." He also informed me that he cannot give me anything in writing about this complaint.
Even he refused to note down my email id & inform on the status.

I want resolution of my complaint & action on the negligent staff.

I was suppose to travel to Hyderabad from Delhi by indigo flight no 6e 305. the departure of flight was 11:50a.m. as mentioned on ticket and website.
Please note that I had already done my web check 6 hours before my departure.
We reached the counter on time, finished our security checking but the officials denied saying that the counter is closed. I, along with my parents requested them saying to allow us to board the flight as they was as urgency but in no circumstances they allowed us to move in.
All these discussions killed another 5 to 10 minutes.
We were very much disappointed with the behavior and attitude of the staff. This sort of attitude is really not deplorable. They do not have minimum etiquette as in how to speak in front of seniors.

I would like to question indigo that in spite of re accommodating us in the next flight why did they charge exorbitant extra amount of money from me. Also they wrote unjust comments of late arrival at counter on my boarding pass.

Closing the counter before time, not re accommodating the passengers within the same fare and ticket, misbehavior with the passengers is what we faced.

This is highly unacceptable and unethical behavior of indigo. I am writing this complaint letter to disclose such unethical standards indigo is following.

Looking forward for justice.

I have already filed a complaint on customer relations id as told by your customer care executive the copy of the mail follows:

I want to inform you that after reaching home i found that my new suitcase is broken . And this is second time. First time i ignored it. But this was my new suitcase
I am very annoyed with luggage handling at your part. I got my new Safari suitcase cum stroller broken. I also told the concerned guy at the check in time at HYDERABAD to handle it with care as it is new. He put the fragile sticker on that but waste... I want a compensation for the loss. I will send u the copy of the bill. Pls pay me as soon as possible.

Hello there
my mother traveled from hyd to vtz on 27 feb'16(4:50 pm flight). we booked her ticket(thru mobile app) which had an offer of free meal that day. she got it and satisfied.
now my issue is with the seating system. she is an 80yr old women. while check in we requested for front row(we already paid extra for that row), ur ground staff said all are booked.
then later when the flight doors closed 2 seats were empty. we were in second row and observing. then from some where one passenger comes and occupies the empty seat...Ur staff says nothing.
as an educated person i am informing u people. making a mess is easy but i hope from now on atleast Ur whole staff everyone will give optimum priority to senior citizens seating.
PLZ DO NOT BLOCK SEATS FOR UNNECESSARY REASONS. KEEP CUSTOMERS INFORMED CORRECTLY.

I have booked 3 Pax tickets on 07/02/16 by indigo airlines on urgent basis, 2 from Delhi to Mumbai by 6E 169 ( Syed Qayam Raza+Hina Sayyed) Reference Number N6EWB3KMW one ( Syed Mahendi Raza) from Delhi to Mumbai Reference Number N6ES5SLQ1, using my HDFC bank credit card [protected] through smartbuy mobile apps as my uncle was very much serious at Mumbai so these tickets were booked on the same day and costed high. I am a frequent traveler of the indigo and have traveled at least more than 20 times through my bank or personally . I have booked my ticket from Varanasi to Mumbai by jet and then to Mumbai by indigo 6E 129 at 5.55 but in changing terminal from T3 to T1 i was late by 5 minutes before departure which was intimated to your customer care Gurgaon by me only before I repeatedly requested your staff to permit me to board the flight but they did not allow me then i again i requested to get next flight which was there after 30 minutes and seen your staff providing reservation to other passengers as the seats were vacant in that flight . i imploringly told the ground staff to accommodate me in the next flight at 6.30 but they did not allow me .they have only allowed me to take a flight at 10.30 after taking 5543 with PNR no S5SLQ1 which shocked me in spite of the fact i told them that i am their frequent traveler . Now I request to look into this incident which shocked me badly and gave a negative impression about the services of the airlines which i used to prefer for my travel. Request to check my previous ticket booking history my number [protected] and my ID syedm.[protected]@hdfcbank.com and [protected]@yahoo.co.in or my name and then judge the customer centricity. i would request to refund my amount which was taken by me at Delhi airport for next flight otherwise i will stop travelling by this airlines and further escalate the matter to the senior Management of the airlines and ministry of civil aviation as well . Other details and information will be provided as required

I was travelling on flight 6E 342 from Lucknow to Kolkata on 26th February 2016 with my family. The flight was a hopping flight from Lucknow to Patna and then to Kolkata. There were numerous mosquitos in the same flight due to which we all were very discomfortable during our flight. We asked the cabin attendant to look into the matter but we got a rude reply from her saying even its disturbing them. I m a frequent flier with indigo airlines and this is for the 1st time I faced such pathetic situation as well as behaviour of the staff. Such attitude of such a good airlines is highly disappointing as it is high risk with passengers health. I want an answer for such pathetic atmosphere of the flight and the reason for the same.

I reported to Pune Indigo counter at 10.40 am for flight no 6E148 for Delhi PNR CBQCQQ but they asked for paper ticket when i came back with it they did not allow me to board on the plea that I am late and accordingly I booked a ticket for flight at 8.35 pm flight No 6E402 with extra Rs.5000/-. My complain against you is that your filght no 6E402 is late by 50 mts now whether you will return back my money for your delay or not. I think now a days it is your business to earn more by cheating your customers. I could not understand why you are not accepting tickets in mobile which is computer generated message even the worst Indian Railways also accept it. I think this is only a bahana for earn more for you. Stop all this nonsense and be customer friendly. I know this complain will never be resolved by you because all of you are hopeless persons.
