Yatra Online / YatraTrip.in Complaints & Reviews

I HAD BOOKED AN AIR TICKET THROUGH YATRA.COM. I WANTED TO CANCEL THE TICKET. MY FLIGHT WAS IN THE MORNING 6.45. THE PREVIOUS EVENING AT 18 I LOGGED ON THE WEBSITE TO CANCEL IT , BUT THE WEBSITE SAID THAT YOU CANNOT CANCEL A TICKET ONLINE WITHIN 24 HOURS PRIOR TO YOUR DEPARTURE AND THAT YOU CAN CANCEL IT ONLY BY CALLING THE CALL CENTER. I CALLED THE CALL CENTER AND WAS HOLDING THE LINE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR AND NOBODY ANSWERED THE CALL. EVERY TIME I GOT A MESSAGE THAT YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US AND SOMEBODY WILL ATTAIN YOUR CALL . BUT NOBODY ANSWERED THE CALL . I WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE BOOK A TICKET THROUGH YATRA.COM

I booked my ticket one and half month ago before my travel date and they charged my credit card for the ticket the next day, the day of my travel i was told at the airport that my ticket is not valid and when i asked yatra.com abou this, they just replied with a sorry, saying that it was a system error......but how did the system charge my credit card for a ticket which is not issued or valid.............. it as been more than 10 days now ......they havent refunded my money nor picking up my call......................for the people who do online flight or train or hotel booking PLS DO NOT USE............YATRA.COM...................you will regret it.....

I had booked my ticket through yatra.com website for my wife and self from Cochin to Jorhat in a single ticket but when i had to cancel the ticket of my wife they indicated in the website that i would be getting a refund of Rs 7646.49/ but eventually refunded me with only Rs 6896.49/ (Yatra Reference no NVYS6C and Airline PNR No is RCU3L3). On contacting the customer care they asked my pardon and told me that it was their mistake and the further amount will be refunded to me at the earliest. The conversation went on for some weeks but finally they are saying that the refund will be only Rs 6896.49 because they are further cutting the airline cancellation charges per sector as RS 750 x 02 = 1500. But i had booked the travel in one single ticket and as per the cancellation amount shown while cancelling the ticket i should be getting Rs 7646.49/-. I hope my case will be taken up and i will be getting a compensation amount for my precious time wasted for this for more than two months.

Respected Sir,
I have booked 2 tickets online with Yatra.com for 16th December, 2009 (reference no. :XFH6TC & CJA1RC respectively) which i have subsequently cancelled . The amount was supposed to be credited to my account within 10 working days as promised by them.

But after repetitive complaints also i have not received any response from them.
They are telling me that they have credited the refund amount to my account but I have sent them the photocopy of my passbook duly attached by the chief manager of my bank which clearly state that no amount from yatra has been credited to my account.
I have all the written communication proof which i have made with the company. Also i possess all the details of my booking, cancellation, correspondence & bank statements.

Sir I am a student & i belong to a middle class family. The total amount to be refunded is around Rs. 7200 plus the harassment & the false promise they made to me.
They also told me to do whatever i can & didnot responded properly afterwards.

Sir kindly do something regarding this matter.
I will be very obliged if you can get my money back.

Thanking you

Yours truly
Arijeet Sengupta

I had booked a hotel through yatra.com at Subhash Palace. Patni top , however after i contacted them that they have not mailed me the hotel booking voucher, they confirmed that the booking for the said hotel is full and offered me a lower category room. I denied to accept the alternative and asked for the refund. Though they confirmed that they will refund me the complete amount , i did not get any refund. On speaking to their customer care , the executive was not able to retieve the details.

I have lost the money paid to them and also the larger question still exists whether it is legal to charge the tariff on unconfirmed booking and also they are not bound by any law to show the the correct availability status online.

I suggest people who make online booking with these agents to transfer the amount only once they confirm the availability status on telephone and donot believe on the online status shown on the yatra.com site.

I am Dr.Joshua Abraham and I had booked three tickets for my travel from Kolkotta to Kochi in January 2010 for the travel on May 1st 2010.

On the date of travel when me and my family reported for boarding pass, simply it was informed that the flight is cancelled for the Hyderabad-Kochi sector.

Mind it the tickets were insured also for flight delay and cancellation, but not a single paise was compenensated.

Yatra I do not have any hesitation in saying the most IRRESPONSIBLE travel agent.

Read below for the complant I made to Yatra and also till date I do not have any reply on that.

Also at the end the copy of tickets shown.


Dear Mr. Pavankumar,

Please recall the telecon I had with you yesterday night on the flight cancellation and subsequently arised problems. You had agreed to discuss the matter with the concerned as well as with your Managers and come back to me on the issue. I had not been any info till now.

Note :

1) I had received no mails, SMS and calls from any of Yatra personnel or from the Kingfisher Airlines regarding the matter. Why ? Don't you have any responsibilty on this ?

I was informed on the flight cancellation of the second sector of my booking, that is from Hyderabad to Kochi ONLY WHEN I WAS AT THE CHECK IN COUNTER FOR THE BOARDING PASS ON THE DAY OF TRAVEL. This is absolutely not acceptable and expected from Yatra. When complaned to the Airline people, They have clearly pinpointed Mr Qureshi of Yatra is responsible for this.

2) Though the Kingfisher issued us the three tickets, there was a 24 hour long delay for the travel. Me and my family had to stay back in Kolkatta. Wastage of our precious time, energy and money in addition to the mental stress.

3) I had a booking for Kingfisher Class service for the HYD -KOCHI. Instead we were issued tickets in a low cost flight Jetlite.

4) Our tickets were insured. Do make arrangement for the compensation for all the hardships we had undergone.

I would like to know your response to my complaints and on the hardships we had undergone and on wastage of precious time and money.

PLEASE TREAT THIS AS URGENT AND REPLY URGENTLY ON THIS MATTER.

Regards,

Joshua Abraham

I have booked a International ticket New Delhi to Abu Dhabi(UAE) journey dated 13th April 2010 yatra reference [protected]. This ticket is canceled on 5th April, 2010. The money was not refund till date, I called several time to customer care the reply "Your money is Refunded on 7 April, 2010 check your A/C". I also asked for Reference No. or Transaction ID of this refund they said "please wait" than transfer my call in again main menu [protected].

Hi,
I booked three tickets of domestic flights of 11,000 INR on 11 th April, 2010 through online Yatra.com. Immediately the money was debited from my bank account though yatra.com was showing that my booking was unconfirmed and my money will be refunded within 72 hours. I have mailed the customer service of Yatra.com several times since it was not refunded even after 7 days. After several mails , I got one reply that they are trying to process a full refund and need my card number to do that. I wonder ,why are they asking my card number, and not refunding it in time. Such a big company with a big name has become a cheater because of its poor customer servants. How people are trying to deceive others. I would request common people not to buy any ticket from this type of travel agents. All o[censored]s should get united and complain to court abuot these things and give their emplyees a good lesion so that at least they loose their jobs and die starved.

SUB: NOTICE BEFORE FILING CONSUMER COMPLAINT

Dear Sir/Madam,
I had booked a 3 return International air tickets through Yatra Ref No. YT4071812 from yatra.com for DELHI India(DEL) to Guanghou China (CAN).On the Time of air tickets booking or on air tickets no mention about ticket is Non refundable.
On 02 April 2010,
I called yatra office to reschedule the air ticket. The yatra officer tell me the reschedule the air ticket not possible. U must be cancel these tickets after a charges of Around rs. 2000 – 2300 per ticket. I had done accordingly.I had Made new tickets through Makemytrip.com & send cancellation request to yatra officer Mr. Parag Khatri.
On 07 April 2010,
We received a mail from Yatra officer Mr. Parag Khatri with these words “We have received an update from the airline regarding your refund that the tickets are non refundable and you are entitled to get the refund of INR 6000 approximately”. Than I mail to officer Mr. Parag Khatri with these words “As we last talk, U had tell us that only around rs. 2000/- per ticket will detect. all money will refund to us. Now U tell us that only Rs.6000/- will refund. we had confirm with u than we go for refund.Please send me Ur direct number for further talk.” Than Mr. Parag Khatri call me & change his words & same mail me these words “as per the update from the airline, the tickets are non refundable and only INR 6000 will be refunded as this was communicated to you over the phone.”
Firstly Yatra officer never tell us that these tickets are non refundable, you will checked their voice recoding system available with Yatra offices & cellphone recoding with me. All though when I had called to mr. Khatri about it,He advice me that Please cancel Ur new tickets book with other agent (as they R refundable) & send a mail to me Reactive the the above ref. as tickets are on hold.I had done same. Now Mr. Pankaj Khatri Start send new Mails with these words
On 09 April,201
“We are in touch with the airlines and i have forwarded this case to my Senior whenever we will get the confirmation from airlines we will let you know.”
On 10 April,2010
“We have checked with Airlines but they are not reinstating the tickets.”
“We are still in touch with the Airlines, we are trying our level best to confirm these seats however seats are not available in the airlines system.”
“We have checked with the Airlines there are no seats available.”
On the other side , When I had check Same flight Seat Availability on same days with Ur Yatra.com website, Makemytrip.com & airlines Offices.tickets was available.( Copy of Screen Shot as on April10 2010 & April 11 2010 avilable with me).
Now Yatra officer not reply of my mails & phone calls & more over Phone calls go a long hold & than discontected.
That we are not able to fulfil the commitment of business with our overseas business associates and also effected our reputation in the local market due to not supplying the material.


However we give the time to settle the issue within 15 days by making the refund of amount,needless to say FULL AMOUNT along with the interest at the rate of 15% else we will have no option to file a complaint against you under the Consumer Protection Act of 1986.

There was an advertisement shown on Discovery channel on 10th April 2010 (time around 11:30AM) which showed that customers can buy the ticket for London for amount Rs. 10000. Same is displayed on there website http://www.yatra.com/. When i couldnt find any link that showed the mentioned rates, i called up there customer care[protected] where a girl names Manorama (Chennai Office) picked up the phone and told me that the offer is not there and its just to make customers call them or visit there website. I have attached a snapshot which shows the ad.

I would request you to sue them for such misleading advertisements.

Feel free to revert in case of any further information @ [protected]@gmail.com

1. I booked a ticket from yatra.com for Jorhat to Delhi for 01 april 10 ( yatra refrence number 09NPUC).
2. The booking was made on toll free number and while booking I was told that the cancellation charges will be rs 750.00 plus additional 150.00 srevice charges.the eticket printout shows that too.
2. For some personal reasons I had to think of cancelling my flt and the low cost of cancelllation was a factor in deciding for cancelling it.
4. The cancellation was also done on phone and the fact that only rs 750.00 plus rs 150.. would be deucted was confirmed once again.
5. I went ahead with cancellation and after some time I got a mail that instead of rs 750.00 now rs 1500.00 will be deducted because the flt cvered two sectors
6. My mail to the company does not seem to having any effect and my teleconversation with the service personnel on toll free number has not yielded any result

I had the same bad experience booking a ticket for my mother on yatra.com. I put down her name as primary passenger for a Kingfisher flight from CHD-DEL and paid via my online banking account.

When the e-ticket is displayed for printing it has my name on it instead of my mother as passenger. I contacted yatra.com for a name change but they replied after 1 week that it is *not* possible...

Although it was not due to a mistake on my part, I have to suffer for it ... More over the cancellation amount is over 50% the price I paid for the ticket.

(update and correction: It is due to my mistake in the 1st place for using cheap company such as yatra.com for booking ticket with zero customer service).

Someone higher authority needs to step in and improve the system & customer service.

All these airlines and travel agents have a nice way to make extra income from poor innocent passengers.

Yatra.com has poor customer service, long delays in responding via customer support, telephone lines you can never get through, and even if you do, the service reps don't help at all or want to transfer you somewhere else.

my 2 cents:: STAY AWAY FROM YATRA.com online booking service. Instead use another like indiatimes travel or makemytrip.com

Hi,

I am a frequent user of Yatra.com. Today (03/31) at 2:50 PM I got a call from [protected] number and a Lady spoke to me and told me that since I am a frequent user of "Yatra.com", am I interested in some platinum credit card. I told her no thank you, I am not interested. She said "[censored] Off" and banged the phone. I tried calling this number again and again and I am getting this error "Number not in use".
I am definitely shocked by her behaviour and the abusive language used by her.

In case I am not getting any response from this portal, I definitely plan to register a complaint in Police againt Yatra.com for using the abusive language as I have all the details as proof.

I would request you to track down that Lady and she should applozise for her behaviour and using the abusive languauge with her customers.

Thank you,
Deepali Agarwal

dear sir

the yatra charged me Rs.582 vide ref.no.[protected] excess and even they not intimate or inform for refund. i not received any e-mail . please check and refund the above money to my account.

I TRY TO BOOK A TICKET OF KING FISHER AIRLINES IT 3631 FROM CHENNAI
TO PORTBLAIR FOR 22 JULY2010. I NEVER GET THE TICKET. AND MONEY IS
DEBITED FROM MY ACCOUNT. I CONTACT U BY PHONE , U REPLY ME THAT TO
ATTACH MY BANK STA MENTS FOR RE FUND.


I AM ATTACHING MY BANK STATEMENT TO PROVE THE AMOUNT IS DEBITED FROM
MY ACCOUNT . I REQUEST TO REFUND THE MONEY IMMEDIATELY FOR MY FURTHER
BOOKING OF TICKETS

I got a ticket from BOM to ADL on Yatra.com 3 months ago.

But because o[censored]rgent work, I need to go there 1 week earlier. So I wanted to change the departure date of my ticket since 1 week ago, but stil I haven't got any contact from them.

1. They never let me know their extention number

Whenever I called them and asked their extenstion, they never let me know.
"sorry, we are on the progress to get an extenstion number" How ridiculous!

So I had to repeate the same thing again again again around 20 times, and every time they said
"OK, after cheking the detial, we will call you back within 10 mis, but I haven;t got any call from them.

They have been alwasy telling me a lie. They never never called me.

And I have been wasting so much money & time to call them again again.

2. Useless custmoer care team

Even I sent my complaint emails around 20 times, no one replied to me. No one.
They why they have custmoer care service team?

I am a foreign national- customer, and I have never seen this kind of poor service during my whole life.

3. Cheating regarding their fee service option

There was a free visa assitance option when I got the ticket. as I was a foreigner who were staying in India, I wanted to get the visa assitance service that's why I chose yatra.com

But during for last 3 months, no one in Visa assitance team contacted me.
And whenever I asked them to offer visa assitance service they said "we will call you back"

But nothing happened! Nothing Nothing Nothing


- Rajnandan
- Internatinal Outbound Sales team
- custmoer care team
- Visa assitance team

Yatra.com, poor service team members.

Do I need to contact my embassy to solve this cheating problem?

www.yatra.com is an online travel agent company that cheats online customers. My daughter and I had come to India on a summer vacation. We were supposed to return back to the US but due to family emergencies, we had to cancel our booking and stay back in India. I had booked my tickets through www.yatra.com. I was charged INR 80292 for 2 tickets. I have called several times and also written to them several times on email since I have not received any refund as promised. While they have been courteous, they have not kept their word of refunding the money they owe me. They have kept telling me that the cheque has been dispatched and I should receive it in 3-4 business days. It is 4 months and I have not received the refund. Nor are they willing to rebook my tickets.
Given this is a huge amount, we do not have money to buy tickets through another travel agent (a genuine one) or through airline company. I am not sure if writing on this will have any results. But one thing I would like to say is PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH YATRA.COM . It is a fraudulent company.
