I am writing this complaint and am expecting to be taken extremely seriously regarding the issue at hand.
I had booked my flight from Chennai to Mumbai for the 5th of April, 2015 on the 19th of February, 2015.
A day before the flight back when we were travelling through South India, I received a call of from the spice jet Customer care casually "informing" me that my flight was cancelled.
Their solution was to either get a full refund (which I have not got yet) or rebook via Spice jet on the same day at 5:55 AM! This is RIDICULOUS because my flight was originally at 7:45 PM!
Mr. Mohamed Yunus from the customer care even agreed that flight was cancelled because there were not enough passengers on the flight! I must say that I had heard a general feedback in the market of Spicejet being an incredibly pathetic airline, especially in the midst of competitive and efficient airlines lie Indigo, but after this experience I have suffered and learnt for myself that SPICE-JET AIRLINE LACKS INTEGRITY.
I strongly recommend that this airline must be abolished, as they are not right for the service industry when this is the way they treat their customers. Informing people at the last minute about a flight cancellation so that they have to immediately rebook tickets 3 times the price is pathetic and abysmal service. When there is a problem, the airline must provide feasible solutions. Spice jet offered a flight at 5:55 AM which we were unable to make it to as were not even IN THE CITY!
I have travelled around the world but never have I seen this kind of service, and the tragic part is this seems to happen so often with Spice jet that it is considered a consistent character trait of the airline.
No wonder customer care people and complaints boards are so casual regarding consumer escalations!
Spice jet's lack of integrity not only cost me more than three times the price I paid for this pathetic flight, but it also cost me a precious day when I was supposed to be on holiday, and this is something I will never forget.
I expect compensation from the Airline as not only has it caused me mental stress but due to it I have suffered financially as well. A mere refund will not do and its high time Spice-jet stopped taking people for granted. I have already lodged a consumer complaint so hopefully you will be hearing from us very soon.
A note to Spice jet, its obvious the airline has no value for people's time and no regard for customers in general, but they also seem to lack the general manners which are needed to remain in the business they are in. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY THIS AIRLINE WILL SHUT FOR GOOD, ESPECIALLY SINCE AT THIS RATE THAT DAY SEEMS TO BE VERY CLOSE.
We customers have something great to look forward to.I had to rebook my flights and I have incurred a damaging amount of Rs. 12000 plus for two new tickets, thanks to your airline. But j guess this must be an issue you deal with everyday as you are in the habit of cancelling your customer's flights and I have started to sense (like my colleagues and friends) that this is probably a strategy too.
We don't trust Spicejet to do any good for anyone, and I expect to be compensated for the amount I had to incur over the already paid amount to your airline, as there really is no one else to take responsibility for this but your airline. Do not expect people to take the fault for your absolute inability to perform.
