Respected Sir,
Submitting the details of grievances I faced at the airport.
Was travelling by Jet Airways flight No. 9W 0556 on 8th July from Kochi to Doha, the ticket issued showed by my travel agent mentioned a baggage allowance of 30 k. While my two baggages were weighed the staff at service desk for web check-in passengers rounded the individual baggage weights to the next whole digit and asked me to pay for an additional weight of 3 kg.
On request, no explanation / information was provided but a simple answer we are staff and these are the airline norms. If you need to travel pay, or remove excess luggage.Here I would like to being to your kind attention these following concerns,
(1) what is the calibration history of these weigh balances at the airport and how accurate they are?
(2) Are they allowed to be used for weighing commodities and be having the right span for these applications and price calculations without erroneously charging the passengers
(3) Before weighing none had shown and confirmed to the customer that they made the balance corrected to zero before weighing.
(4) why are the staff rounding the weight to the next higher integer, since I had two bags, what they did was on a white paper they wrote the two individual bags weight rounding up and adding it manually even though they have digital balances and not using the actual weights. For me this rounding has made a minimum to pay for an excess of 1/2 kg which I didn't carry along with.
(5) As mentioned in point (4), no printed receipts were issued for the weight, but an oral communication to the supervisor to make a handwritten receipt for the payment in which it was written additional 3 kg excess baggage and a unit rate for and total price
(6) No tariff boards are kept for the rates to be applied for excess baggage, on what basis are the calculating the rates, is it not needed to display the price information to the customer
Appreciate if you can look into these and provide me the needed justice and take it up so that these incidents do not happen for the other fellow passengers / citizens of India.
If needed I can provide the scanned copy of the excess baggage ticket issued by the airlines, but I don't have an alternate proof for the weights, since it was raining and the bags I carry could have easily soaked in some rain water in transportation which also can contribute for.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Haseeb CM
