This is a formal complaint against travel agent MakeMyTrip pertaining to 2 unresolved issues: 1.) for denying refund of actual amount against cancelled tickets and 2.) for overcharging my international air tickets to Thailand.
Intending to avail the special discount offer by Malaysian Airlines, I booked multi-city tickets (for two travellers) for Thailand (BLR-HKT and BKK-BLR) through MakeMyTrip on 30 Nov 2014. Due to some silly mistake made at the time of booking, I had to contact MakeMyTrip customer care for voidation of my tickets and issuance of fresh tickets.
I was attended by Mr. Karan Anand who initiated the voidation of my tickets and issued fresh tickets. I was informed that the old ticket amount would be reimbursed and should reflect in my account within 4-5 working days. Also, I was made to pay an excess of INR 7000 for my fresh tickets, despite the special offer given by the Airlines during the time of booking, on the pretext of voidation charges levied by MakeMyTrip (he made me believe that he was adding the fine with my fresh ticket booking amount). I trusted the agent and went ahead with the booking.
However, I was aghast when I realized that the voidation charges amounted to just INR 600 (for 2 tickets) that was deducted from my old ticket amount. Furthermore, the refunded amount was INR 656 short of the actual amount promised (as refund) by MakeMyTrip (refer to all correspondence with complaint REF ID[protected] raised with MakeMyTrip against cancelled ticket Booking ID NN[protected].
When I investigated the issue further and requested for duplicate ticket voucher from Malaysian Airlines Customer service, I was again shocked to find that MakeMyTrip had duped me of an additional INR 7000 for no particular reason. I informed customer care within 2 days of purchase of tickets (refer to all correspondence with Ref ID[protected] and[protected] raised with MakeMyTrip against Ticket booking ID IN1411B5S211571) and also forwarded the ticket details provided by Malaysian Airlines. However, I am yet to receive any favourable response/resolution from MakeMyTrip.
I have been pursuing this issue for 15 days and have followed all mandatory procedures given on MakeMyTrip website for posting complaint. I got a call from an executive 10 days ago and was promised callback and resolution within 72 hours, but no such luck yet.
I fail to understand why a company with such repute should resort to such cheap tricks and poor customer response. They have a lot to learn from their peers and other e-commerce companies in the market.
Hoping for an immediate redressal.
Thanks.
