Dear all,
Greetings!
I would like to bring to your notice the most humiliating experience i had to endure during my return journey from bali.
I and my 3 friends had booked our flight tickets to bali via makemytrip. The e-ticket showed that our luggage was included as 7 kgs (Cabin luggage) and 15 kgs (Cargo luggage).
We faced no issue while our journey from mumbai to bali on 15th sept 2019 (Flights: od-216 bom-kul and od-306 kul-dps).
But during our return journey on 20th sept 2019, when we tried boarding the flight od-174 (Dps-kul) scheduled at 12:45 pm; the ground staff told us that our luggage wasn't included. They even refused to acknowledge the data on e-ticket saying that it was the booking agency's fault. There was no option available for us and nobody was ready to help us. They told that we had to pay extra money for the luggage that we had. According to the indian currency, the payable amount was rs. 23690. We didn't have that huge amount with us in any currency.
Finally, after crying and requesting to lengths, they let us board the flight and asked to make the payment once we reached mumbai airport. And as we got out of our flight od-215 (Kul-bom), a guy from malindo's ground staff was waiting with a paper in his hands with our names on it. It was so humiliating when people were staring at us as if we had committed some crime. We paid rs. 23690 via the sbi card and got a receipt. But the entire incident killed our happiness of vacation. We went through such mental pressure and humiliation that honestly, i would never ever want to travel via malindo or book my tickets through makemytrip ever again.
For the first time, we four girls had gone on such a faraway trip trusting the airline and makemytrip. Had we known that you treat your passengers this way, we would have rather chosen some local destination.
I don't know whose fault was there in this whole thing, but i just want my money back. Instead of rushing to the consumer court, i first would want you to respond and justify the whole incident. I still have all the soft copies and e-mails which prove that the luggage was shown included and we were charged incorrectly. I request you to look into this and help us.
