We had booked a Jet airway flight via Make my trip for my parents who are senior citizens (Father- aged 73 years, mother- aged 68 years) from Trivandrum to Dubai and return. This was meant to be a direct flight and would have taken them 4.0 hours to reach Dubai. However when the agent who applied for their Visiting visa wanted to do the "OK to board", he informed that there is no direct flights from Trivandrum to Dubai and Vice- Versa. On this information, when we called up Make My trip they informed that w.e.f March 26th, they have cancelled all direct flights from Trivandrum to Dubai.
The Airline is ready to refund me the entire amount, but this does not help me, since its hardly couple of more days left for my parents to travel and all flight tickets are now costlier that what I booked. The option I asked the airlines is:
1. Upgrade the Travel class from Economy to either a Premium/Business class.
- The reason being the price I paid is close to Rs 66, 192/- for a direct flight which had the duration of 4.0 hour approx.
- The indirect flight Via Mumbai, would have a stop over of atleast 3 hours, which would mean, the time it would take to reach Dubai is more than 7 hours, and they would have to reach atleast 3 hours in advance, which would mean they would need atleast 11-12 hours for the entire travel
- My parents being Senior citizens, it would be physically exhausting for them to travel and Business class would give them the comfort of stretching themselves and lying down to sleep
The Airline is duping the customer by booking a Direct flight and then diverting this to another City and not compensating them for all the hassles it is resulting in.
