I had domestic flight from Aurangabad to Mumbai on 11th Nov 2021, by Indigo. I had luggage of 29kgs one bag and I had purchased 2 tickets. Last moment my friend had to cancel because of RT-PCR requirement at arrival airport (Information not given by email / on ticket reservation / via SMS by indigo).
I had called customer care at 1:14 pm on 11th Nov 2021, confirming if I can still merge two passengers ticket and if I can still carry one bag of 30kgs, to which I was being told as 'yes' you can carry. I re-assured and was double confirmed as yes no problem you can carry one bag.
After reaching the airport at checkin counter I was being told that I cannot take one bag of 30kgs and cannot merge my tickets when the passenger has not arrived. I was first told on one belt my luggage is 27 kgs i.e 12 kgs extra and this went on other belt saying it is 29 kgs and I was told to pay 7000 INR.
I kept on calling the customer care again to allow me to take the luggage, to which I was kept waiting for almost 1 hour and requested me to wait till they update the PNR to allow the baggage. They kept on telling it is not allowed and to take 2 bags of 15 -15 kgs. Which obviously was too late to handle. Anyways, they said if this was informed by our customer care agent it is not correct information.
If I had known that luggage will not be adjusted with 2 tickets I would have avoided taking extra luggage or 30kgs in one single bag. I literally had to pay 7000 INR for mis-information given to me by customer care agent.
Also, I was promised that the issue will be handled on 12th nov, and to pay the amount for now and will get a call back. Which I never got.
I demand refund of 7000 INR. Misinformation cost me 7000 INR.

Updated by Sumali Malkhare Hello,
I was in touch with Mr. Vibhav Executive from Indigo Consumer complaint care team. After the discussion on call on 28th Nov, there has been no updates over the refund process. I am trying to connect through email on [protected]@gmail.com, but no one replies.
Please let me know if there is any way that I can speak/ get an update from the team. Also, Mr. Vibhav's phone is switched off and there is no way to get in touch with the team, neither there is any assurance over the discussion I had with Vibhav.
Thanks.
We believe our customer relations team is in touch with you,
Regards,
Team IndiGo
