part 1
I bought a flight ticket for the date 22.4.22
From Abu Dhabi> to Delhi
via MyTrip agency
with INDIGO airline
LUWWXR) PNR,
order number LKNFE5)
About an hour after I placed the order on the website, I found out that on this date (22.4.22)
We have holiday of Passover - and I am not allowed to fly - I made a mistake in calculating the dates.
I'm Jewish, religious, observant and don't use public transport on holidays - I've never done it.
Immediately, I tried to contact the company and cancel. or advance the flight date and I was not able to get a response from the MYTRIP company
I wrote a request to the INDIGO company on Facebook - and they said that I would receive the card within a few days. - I was promised credit for part of the amount and then for the rest.
Emphasizes: I was promised a full refund! (probably through the agency)
(I am attaching the correspondence with them on Facebook)
It is important to note ! I still haven't received any credit on the card! - Apparently Mytrip should credit me

part 2
In the meantime, I ordered a new ticket for two days earlier because of the holiday.
for the date 20.04.22
From Abu Dhabi to Delhi an INDIGO flight
Through the MyTrip Flight Flight agency:
6E 1836 booking number JPETHQ)
After several hours of waiting at the check in, when it was time to board the flight
From Abu Dhabi to Delhi - (INDIGO flight that I purchased from the MYTRIP agency)
The clerk ( of Indigo) told me that I am not allowed to board because the credit card I used to pay for the flight is not in my name.
They demanded that I show a credit card that ends with the digits 1499.
I was helpless - I showed them my credit card from which the transaction was made.
I showed them the payment in the bank account.
The flight ticket is in my name.
And they refused to accept it.
I started crying and begging, that I have a holiday and I have to get to my destination on time.
And it didn't interest them. They were sealed and said that because I was crying, they would not treat me.
The clerk really shook his head, kept talking to other people and ignored me, he refused to explain to me what the problem was.
I tried to get MyTrip through family members who tried to help because I was without a SIM CARD
No one gave me an answer and it was already too late.
The time was 01:00 at night.
I was left alone at the airport, I was shocked, and without any explanation of what happened.
The other clerks also ignored me.
I walked around the airport, without any address or anyone to talk to.
I looked for Indigo's management even though it was already too late.
I was able to reach a kinder official, from the INDIGO company, who explained to me that my plane ticket was paid for with the credit card of the MYTRIP agency and that I had to prove that the plane ticket belonged to me.
The same INDIGO official maybe because he realized they were wrong - (I don't know the reason) but he offered me another ticket to Delhi for another 25 hours. But a ticket with a stop in Mumbai and from there on to Delhi. - a ticket without additional charge.
I had no choice because direct tickets were more expensive and I couldn't pay.
I stayed at the airport. I slept in a toilet cubicle all night - because I couldn't find another place (and that was after I was taken out of another toilet cubicle) I didn't want to leave the airport, at a late hour because I don't know the area.
In the morning I took a room in a hotel near the airport, at a cost of 80 dollars (I have a receipt)
I arrived in Delhi on 20.4.22 in preparation for the holiday
Unfortunately I lost a train ticket to my first destination. A card that I purchased in advance (I can attach a card)
I had to celebrate the holiday (of Passover) at a certain destination in India and unfortunately I didn't get there because the landing was close to the time of the holiday
And I couldn't take a train or a flight - because like I said, I'm religious and I'm not allowed.
It caused me great grief.
I had no choice but to stay for several days in Delhi - even though this was not my plan.
And it was very difficult for me to stay there (because our holiday is connected to Shabbat between April 20-24
I had a very difficult time on the trip, my plans changed a lot, the family I was supposed to visit for the holiday left and I didn't have time to meet them on the holiday as I had planned.
I felt injustice because my trip was not long and this time was very precious to me.
I demand:
First of all, a full refund for the first canceled flight - the Indigo company confirmed the cancellation and the full refund for me (LUWWXR) PNR, order number LKNFE5)
Secondly, adequate compensation for the second flight - on 20.4.22 I was not allowed to board the flight even though I paid for the ticket. Flight: 6E 1836 booking number JPETHQ)
