missed connection flight/ luggage
hello,
My name is Jaykishan samyani, I wasa flying on 31st of may with Air Canada on AI7316, which was operated by Air India. Departure time of the flight was 2310, but it was delayed for 30 minutes before even we checked in. Then it got delayed for more 30 minutes while we were waiting at the gate. Finally, after waiting an hour we were able to board, but then there was some kind of technical problem with the flight's main door. After all these trouble, the flight got delayed for almost 3 hours. We were supposed to reach London (LHR) at 11:05am, but we got there at 1400 and we had conncetion flight which was departing at 1400. So we could not make it on that flight. Not even single Air Canada or Air India representative was there to guide us where to go and what to do. We went to Air Canada counter and then we got the next flight for which we had to wait 6 hours, which was unacceptable. Also we did not get flight for Ahmedabad direct, there was a layover in Mumbai for another 6 hours. We were supposed to reach at our final destination on 1 Jun 2017 at 03:20, but we reached at 20:00. Also, we were going to attend our brother'd engagement and a friend of mine's marriage, but we did not get our luggage at the airport and we were promised to get in 24 hours. My friend's wedding was on 3rd june and all the gifts, a ring which my friend asked me to bring gifts for his to be wife, my clothes everything was in my luggage bags. I had to buy new clothes for my self in the morning of 3rd june, which did damage my financial planning. Also my friend got upset on his wedding day as he could not give the gift to his wife which he wanted. So my whole trip was very bad because off all of the miss management. You can reach me at [protected] or [protected]@HOTMAIL.COM
I am a frequent flyer, and would avoid using AIr Canada and Air India in the future.

booking on concessional fares/refunds
Dear sir/Ma'am,
I tried booking tics online for armed forces concession Hyd-Kol-Hyd sector on 05 Aug 17. The payment was done through net banking which was debited immediately. However when I was not issued any tic, I called up cust care where I was informed that conc fare online booking has been stopped. Then, why was the entire procedure was allowed from the website till the money was debited from my account. I also have to wait 7 days for refund. How do I buy the tickets as I do not have spare money? On one hand I am forced to buy Air India tics for travel on govt Travel Rules and on the other hand I have to undergo additional hardships to buy tics with no help/solution from Air India. Now I have been advised to visit Air India city office (15 km) or counter at airport(50 km) to buy conc tics.
Submitted for kind consideration:-
1. Reopen online ticketing for conc fares.
2. Provide 24 x 7 support from Ecommerce regarding payment/refund issues.
refund of user development charges
I travelled with my wife from Delhi to Chennai on 3rd August by Air 429. The ticket was booked on 20th May and I was charged an amount of Rs. 1128/- as user development fee for 2 tkts. As per the government notification, the user development charges have been reduced to Rs. 10/- per person. It also mentions that the amount will be automatically refunded by airlines if travel happens after July 7. I am yet to receive any refund. Please expedite. My PNR NUMBER IS Y8Q26.
Thanking you.

flight ticket counter booked incorrect flight timings ticket at safdarjung airport
Air India as I know is the national carrier. It should take care of customers when they are paying for a seat. This is reference of the ticket booking counter at the Safdarjung airport where one of the careless attitude of the air India staff lead to missing of the flight. The incident at Safdarjung headquarters air India ticket booking counter at Delhi on 8 th July where an air India permanent staff ticket counter agent issued a ticket for wrong timings and incorrect flight booking made lose our ticket value and a connecting flight from Delhi to Kathmandu on the other day. We asked the air India staff person to book a ticket on ai 127 flight at 9pm from Hyderabad to Delhi. He booked the morning 10 am flight on 15 th July. We corrected that person the same minute. Even after then he intentionally booked an incorrect booking and saying he has booked the correct ticket that is scheduled for 9pm flight. Now my father, who is a senior citizen missed the flight. And when he reached at the airport counter at hyderabad they refused to help. We lost our ticket. I made a call to customer service takes to pitiable (supervisor) who was rude and misbehaved on the call. This is the worst experience I ever had with air India staff person who at safdarjung airport refused to correct the ticket even when I personally corrected at the same time. Resulted in missing of flight, causing mental trauma and loss of money. I need an answer from the air India who is responsible of missing flight and the connecting flight the other day. A stringent action must be taken on the air India staff person at safdarjung airport who lied and issued a wrong ticket
rude behaviour and indifferent attitude by the officer mr surendra kundra at indore ra gandhi sirpirt terminal 3
This is to inform you that we have booked the flight for 3 persons vide our Booking ID No NF2262695128609 PNR ZBXVL from Hyderabad to Delhi and from Delhi to Gwalior, on 14th July 2017. It was informed to us on 13th July 2017 afternoon that our flight from Delhi to Gwalior is delayed by 2 hours and 10 minutes, thus the total layover time exceeds 4 hours. At Gate no 27, we met Mr Surendra Kundu and Mr Rajesh Chauhan of Air India Staff and requested them for the lounge as my father is of the age of 80 years and travelling with us. A very rude behaviour is faced where Mr Kundu had refused to even hear us stating that if we have any problem, we can get the ticket cancelled and take the full refund. He also refused to give to us any number of other Air India Authority. We do not have any problem that the lounge is not provided to us but the behaviour and attitude of Mr Kundu was really shocking. How can an employee of Air India can say that do not fly with Air India and get the ticket cancelled. As far as I know, Service Industry is based on good services and helping the service recipients in case of any problem. I m afraid whether I can manage with Air India in future and give any positive feed back to others about this airlines.

service
Respected authority,
This is to inform that I Surendra Bafna holding Indian Passport was travelling in Air India flight on 13th July, 2016 from Mumbai to Bangkok. The flight number is AI330. The flight timing was 1.50 am-7.45 am.
I really feel bad in informing you that I got a very bad impression with your service this time.
I booked my meal vegetarian instead of that they served me non vegetarian food while I was sleeping. If the passenger is sleeping then your staff can not do like this. Its like fooling the customer and playing with rituals.
I am not flying in Air India for the first time. I am a frequent customer of yours and you can check that. I don't even egg and they served me a full non vegetarian food.
I have already lodged a complaint to your staff manager and I want a response of this. I was always satisfied with your service. Infact I always put Air India in first priority but with this thing I am thinking to change my mind.
Please give response of this complaint at [protected]@gmail.com I will be waiting for your reply Sir.
missed connection - need reimbursement for boarding & lodging
My son and I have traveled from Hyderabad to Bombay on Air India flight AI0051 on July 3rd. We were on our way to SFO. We had to catch the next flight by Jet Airways to Amsterdam, which was scheduled to leave by 2:40 am on July 4th, 2017. But the AI0051 flight got delayed and by the time we got the luggage and went to the counter, the checkin was already closed.
We stood there at the Air India counter whole night asking to reschedule our flight. As our flight was booked through Delta Airlines, we were told that they cannot reschedule our flights as they don't have control. I had to call Delta Airlines couple of times to reschedule our flight to the following day. Then we asked for accommodation as we had to stay whole day. We were not given any accommodation. So we spent Rs. 5000 for lodging and boarding.
First of all it is a big inconvenience. Air India was not concerned about their passengers. Secondly by missing one working day, I lost considerable amount. Thirdly, no accommodation was provided, we had to spend Rs. 5000 and go out in the night, not knowing the language or people.
We had the worst airline experience with Air India. I want at least the amount I have spent Rs. 5000 to be reimbursed.
Thanks

e ticket #098-[protected] - compliant (urgent)
Hello,
This is to bring to your attention the issue about an open ticket that I am unable to re-book. Allow me to elaborate.
I booked my Air India return flight for return on 24th of December from HYD - JFK 1(E ticket number 098-[protected]). However, I converted this ticket to an open ticket sometime in the month of October 2016. No time during the whole telephonic conversations (or written) was I told that my open ticket will get expired on 4th of June 2017 (the first part of the ticket was used on 4th June 2016 from JFK- HYD). You may check your records, I have contacted your customer care department numerous time inquiring about my ticket status and asked them to email a open ticket confirmation to me. They informed me that it wasn't a part of their policy to email any confirmation regarding conversion of a booked ticket to open. I have called your customer care department regularly to check the status of my tickets. In fact even until yesterday (6/15) the customer service department informed to to visit the Air India city office and get the booking done after checking all the records of my ticket.
However, when I visited the Air India office today, I was taken aback when I was informed that my request to book the ticket from MUM-JFK on 16th September 2017 cannot be fulfilled as my tickets have already expired.
As you can understand, this has already led to a lot of inconvenience for me. Now, I request you to please look into this issue and take action allowing me to use this open ticket for booking my flight from MUM-JFK on 16th September 2017 at the earliest.
I emailed Air India about 10 times to get no resolution or reply. Still awaiting a reply.
Thanks

unethical behaviour and non returning our material kept at the boarding gate
Dear Sir/Madam,
My parents travelled Via Air India flight no AI0281 from Delhi to Colombo on 5th July, 2017 . Passengers details are as hereunder:
Mrs. Usha Rani Gupta - ticket no 098-[protected]
Mr. Ashwini Kumar Gupta - ticket no-098-[protected].
Unknowingly, they were carrying some desi Ghee of 2 kg which was retained by the staff at the boarding gate and relevant entry was also made in the register. We appreciate the process & policies applicable and my parents surrendered the same with a request to collect the same on scheduled traveling back plan of 17th . Their request was rejected, which doesn't seem to be in line.
Also during flight a reckless Air hostess carelessly showered hot coffee on the clothes of my father .
Looking above, can we have Desi Ghee of 2 kg returned on 17th ? Pls suggest .
Vishal

unprofessionalism
Date: 31/01/17
E-ticket:[protected]
Name: Keira Leonard
Air India AI162, 31/01/17, 08:45.
Upon arrival at Heathrow airport and attempting to enter the check in line, I was asked by a lady of average height, brown hair in uniform, if I had weighed my suitcase, in which I responded 'yes, 30kg'. I was quite rudely told that I can only have 2 cases of 23kg. I told her I have confirmation to say different. She did not care to listen or see my proof (article 1), but rather did not let me in the line. This is after both online check-in screens failed and self service by check in line. Not being allowed to line up with my case, I asked what are my options. She said I need to fix it. I then said ‘can I pay?’, only at this point she allowed me to line up.
Already having wasted a lot of time, I finally got to the check in desk to have the clerk confirm my confirmation of 30kg luggage allowance. He quoted a price for me to check in this luggage as cabin, in which I agreed to. He sent me to a different desk to pay.
I then headed to the customer service desk- which involved more waiting. The lady quote a price over double what I was told. When I asked why, she responded with 'you are on a kg fee as opposed to a piece fee'. I asked what determines this, which she ignored. She just said he is wrong and rolled her eyes. She asked me how much over is it. I did not see at the check-in but rather just followed the gentleman's instructions. She then called a colleague over (the lady I first faced) who then just lifted my case by hand to weigh it and said that's at least 5kg more. I am astonished at that unprofessionalism, charging me £215 based on her guess.
Due to how much time this all took, I didn't have time to throw stuff out as check-in was now closed and I couldn't miss my flight, so I had to pay rather than challenge her behaviour at the time.
I would like to be told why I was quoted to prices. They should know the Air lines policy and not contradict each other. Why is it that everyone else was allowed 2x23kg=46, yet I was charged £215 for having a total of 42.5kg? Why was I prevented from checking in? Why did no one offer to look at my confirmation? Why wasn’t my bag weighed on a scale? And lastly what determines whether a charge is a kilo based or piece based and why was I charged an amount based on a per kilo rate?
I have emailed and called on multiple occasions only to have this still not resolved (people just kept trying to hand me off to another person). I hope I can get a refund due to the unprofessional encounter and the time and money I have invested in trying to deal with this.
P.S Attaching images isn't working for me.

due to a delayed flight from mumbai to delhi missed the connected flight to the uk
AI866 from Mumbai to Delhi on 21st June 2017 did not start despite an early notice to customers to go to the Airport. The next connection was given from Mumbai AI 806 which did not arrive to Delhi until 1.35 pm and as a result the flight AI113 Delhi to Birmingham was missed. Hence an alternative flight was given for the next day 22 June. The flight AI 161 which was to Heathrow London not Birmingham and brought to me at Heathrow on the same day. This had interrupted the whole return journey and has cost me.
My two begs were also damaged and this has already been reported at Delhi Airport and London Airport too. Reference Damage Report: DELAI65453/21 Jun17/0931GMT. The reported cost is £395. This includes the cover for my beg, zips of both begs and two locks.
In addition to the above I need also a full compensation towards my return journey from Mumbai to the United kingdom disruption must pay me a full compensation as I had to pay for all my pick up arrangements.
canceling the flight
Hello Team,
I am very disheartened to hear that recently I lost my Fui at my native place. My mother is there and need to stay back more longer than the time I have assumed. I have asked Go Ibibio team to cancel the ticket and they have asked me for the death certificate.
Death certificate is not what I can get in a day or weeks time. What would I say to the family who suffered a loss that I need your Mothers death certificate so that I can cancel the tickets?
How would it sound. When I was on conference call with Air India team they said they don't know about such policy and Goibibo representative was not at all empathic and was just ruling out the policy. I understand that he might be doing his Job but isn't its his duty to take some time and talk to his seniors about such incident. Airindia representative continuously said that If they want they can speak with their sales team and can do it.
Regards,
Samrat

delayed flight by air india - compensation sought - no help received yet
Air india - delay compensation (no information provided as how to get compensation) - please help
Ai 113 flight delayed by 4 hours and 10 minutes + too much inconvenience due to choked up toilets
On 18th may 2017, my connecting flight 'ai 113’ was from delhi (india) to birmingham (u. k) with scheduled departure of 13:05 hrs. as scheduled all the passengers including me boarded the flight on time.
However, even after 2 hours after all the passengers boarded, the flight did not take off. then at 15:00 hrs there was announcement by the pilot that due to choked up toilets the flight will be delayed further by 2 more hours and all the passengers will have to de-board the plane. please note that during this long wait inside the flight there was no food being served and water was only provided around 15:00 hrs along with peanuts packet by the crew. there was no care taken for any of the elderly passengers as well and all were asked to de-board.
After de-boarding all passengers including me were at the arrival gate with air india staff at the arrival gate. we were given flight transfer transit cards as per our boarding pass. when I asked ai official about arrangements for food, I was been told that it would be made available on departure gate no.7. we have to again go through painful procedure of security check and then taking a long walk from arrival to departure gates. on arriving at gate no. 7 we were been told that the ai flight gate is gate 9, so I went there. I requested ai official (in pink vertical stripes shirt) 'mr. vinay kochar' to provide me with delay certificate, which he initially denied to provide and asked me to claim online on ai website (which I still cannot find online). on being assertive to get the certificate as my rights finally he reluctantly provided me letter with incorrect details of flight delay of only 3 hours 55 minutes. however, I insisted him that it will not be true as the scheduled time on system had past and now there was more than 4+ hours delay and still as the boarding is not started it may delay by further schedule. but unfortunately he was not helpful and very resilient to provide any assistance or support to me or any other fellow passengers.
Please note that there was no food or water provided until 5 pm to any passenger (except 100 ml juice around 4:30 pm to few passengers, which I didn’t get as it got finished before my turn came) on departure gate.
When I asked about compensation to ai official 'mr. harender singh' at departure gate, I was assured that the compensation would be provided appropriately and 'mr. sanjay agnihotri' from ai will look into the concern and provide further assistance. but, unfortunately there was no one at ai counter on birmingham (where almost everyone was looking for them).
Finally the flight took off around 17:45 hrs (ist) from delhi and landed birmingham u. k. at 22:10 hrs + the time to taxi the air craft (so actually 10:30 pm) when we could come out of flight. so, totally flight was delayed by 4 hours and 10 minutes (minimum, as per scheduled reaching time of 18:00 hrs).
It took another 30 minutes to come out of air port, which means that all my possible trains to leeds were missed (usually journey of 2 hours 45 minutes) and the only available was next day morning which was not feasible and I had no option but to take taxi (which I pre-arranged whilst leaving from birmingham realising that it would be considerable delay and I will be unable to get train to leeds which would help me reaching in feasible time scale (which I had return ticket for).
Finally, in addition to my train ticket cost, I had to pay for out £150 for taxi to reach home at night. overall, this journey had been very stressful and inconvenient which according to me would have been much better with professional staff behaviour which in this incident was completely missing.
So, for such a pathetic customer service by ai crews & ground officials which has caused so much of stress and inconvenience to me as a passenger and for the delayed flight of more than 4 hours, I would request to provide me the compensation (of my full refund of my tickets) + my taxi fare + additional inconvenience cost (i. e; for keeping uninformed about the delays for first 2 hours, not providing any water or food inside flight during first 2 hours of wait, false assurance of getting food on departure gate, going through all security check again by standing in long queue with my luggage, rude staff behaviour, false assurance from ai official in india about our concerns to be taken care on birmingham airport by ai officials etc..)
P. s:
The complaint letter was signed by all the passengers within the flight along with their boarding card number. I would be happy to furnish the scanned copy.
Also, the petition will be filed by one of the passenger on behalf of all fellow passengers who signed the complaint letter.
As air india online information was incorrect, I have photographic evidence of arrival and departure and if necessary it can be shared.
Compensation sought:
1. my return flight ticket claim - £273
2. taxi service from birmingham to leeds - £150
3. inconvenience for delay + no food provided : minimum £100
Most ridiculous part was when I contacted customer service department on live chat (on 20 jun 2017 22:00 hrs) and asked how can I claim. their reply was that we are not from this department and visit website or go on airport counter of air india at birmingham (means I travel for 5 hours to know how to claim). where as on delhi it was told to us that online claim procedure is very clearly provided, which I am unable to find for uk customers.
See the state of air india counter when our flight landed. there was no staff available as they knew that travellers would ask for compensation.
Please can anyone help me with the details as how can I claim for the above
P. s: photographs of
1. empty desk at birmingham airport after arrival of flight. people gave up after seeing that the staff is absconding from their office. this is such a shame.
2. letter signed by all flight members. few passengers talked about filing formal complaint, but seems air india doesn't have any means to claim.
flight cancel without information
I booked 5 ticket from Dubai to Bangalore Flight AI 994, travel date 04.08.2016
When we reached airport, we found stranded as someone told that flight is cancelled!
We didn't get any prior information Via, SMS, Email, telephone etc.
There was no one to assist at the airport & they all were rude.
Flight to Bangalore was part of further package that we booked to follow.
Unfortunately the tour schedule ruined & we made alternate expansive arrangements next day.
I lodged a complaint to Air india on 24.08.2016 (WB-IDXB240816025) for compensation & running since then from pole to post.
The E-commerce finally revert back on 21.02.2017 to send this complaint to customer service unit for closure.
Then I got reference of Dubai office & following since then.
Nothing has happened.
A lady (polite) always pick the call & assure to forward the "CONCERN" but that concern has no time to revert.
Iam seriously thinking to go for a legal action against the behavior of Airline, the losses I incurred & the time loss due to following up my case with no result.
misbehaviour and misguidance by air india customer care staff
12/6/2017
Dear Sirs:
I would like to bring to your notice an episode, wherein I have been cheated by your staff giving wrong information, and I humbly request you to read this mail and understand the situation properly and help me!
I am a Flying Returns member of Air India ( earlier it was Indian Airlines ) and my membership no. is [protected]. I have been getting mails, news letters from Flying Returns and one such mail you send to me regarding reversal of flying returns points by paying @0.60 paisa per mile. Somehow, I got fascinated by your mail, and I have given instructions to my office to buy some miles.
Accordingly, my office contacted your customer care on 20th March 2017 and spoke to one Ms.Kavita for reversal of the miles. My office confirmed many times with Ms.Kavita regarding the use of the miles and Ms.Kavita confirmed time and again that the miles I buy are valid for three months ( You can retrieve the recorded conversation for to confirm the conversation transpired between my office and Ms.Kavita).
Accordingly, my office bought 35620 points, paying Rs.21372.00 on IVR using city bank credit card ( copy of the card attached for your information ). However, about half an hour after the purchase, Ms.Kavita called up on our land line no. 022 [protected], and spoke to my colleague Mrs. Thomas and conveyed to her that these points are valid only till 31.3.2017 and that she will arrange for a refund of the amount immediately.
Since no refund has been received, my office called up your customer care again and tried speaking to Ms.Kavita, however she transferred the line to someone else and to my utter surprise the officer told me that the money cannot be refunded and that I have to use the points before 31st March.
Sir, I had bought the points only to use it on a later date, I had no travel plans for the coming two three months by Air India. And I had confirmed at least 5 times from Kavita for the validity of the points and she confirmed again and again that it is valid for three months!
I tried to explain to the officer all that what had happened and he also confirmed and understood all the episode from Ms.Kavita and accepted that she made a statement like that however he was too rude and adamant that he said no way he can refund the amount and that you can book a ticket and issue it on a later date and use.
bad services in the flight and broken equipments
I took a flight on 9th June from New Delhi to London. It was so very disappointing to take this flight which I would never ever prefer again to choose. It was a long flight if more than 9 hr and the seat allocated to me 30H had broken screen. Nothing was working on that. Every time during the flight it was told to me that it will be resolved in sometime and nothing happened. You should understand that what would a person do in such a long journey where there would be no source of entertainment. I am an Indian so I can understand and it won't come up to our country's reputation on the services we provide. But think from the point of an international passenger taking our flight its a matter of shame for us. that charge so much and then what are we getting in return. The seats was so uncomfortable but bear it as I had no choice. This is a complaint against the airlines and the flight crew that you are just making fool of customers.
My flight details are AI-111 from New Delhi to London on 9th June 2017.
My BOOKING REFERENCE NUMBER WAS HH2301619375372.
I was sitting next to this customer on this flight. I could not believe that someone could be so rude and unreasonable towards the flight attendants who were doing their very best to sort out a genuine issue. The flight attendant responded to the problem quickly upon being told about it and both tried to solve the issue and offered alternative seats of equivalent quality. Unfortunately the careful efforts of the flight attendant were not appreciated and she was subjected to complaint after complaint and verbal abuse. The flight attendant had the patience of a saint and constantly did her best to provide the best care for the two passengers concerned returning with a smile every time. Her name is Padmavathi and unlike the gentleman she did her best to support was an absolute credit to herself, her airline and her country. She deserves an award.

Incident: As soon as I occupied the seat I notified the crew/flight attendant that the seat is faulty. (i) the seat recline was stuck and not working, (ii) the TV/video screen and the remote didn't work either, and (iii) the USB port was broken and the inner part was missing. The attendant said he can't help with USB and will restart the screen. He also applied his full strength to recline the stuck seat. However, the seat wouldn't stop at the recline position and would come back to it's original non-recline position.
The seat recline issue was raised again with the attendants and was attended after the flight take off. The attendant said there is a problem with this seat and he can't do anything. I requested to speak with the supervisor as it is totally uncomfortable to fly in the seated position for this long journey and that I need to sleep. He came back after 5 mins saying the supervisor has been informed and will come to speak with me. I asked when should I expect her and I was told as soon as she finish her work.
The supervisor never bothered to address this issue even though I buzzed her thrice. She came after an hour and half and said she can't help with this as the flight is full. She then suggested this should be sorted by an engineer/ground staff. I said this issue was raised while the plane was in Mumbai to begin with and she has to find a resolution for me. She walked off calling another colleague and never returned.
I flew from Indore to Mumbai and wasn't able to sleep overnight so desperately needed to sleep during the long flight journey. The faulty seats made the journey uncomfortable. The staff never helped to resolve the issue rather shrug their shoulders and pass the blame to others. Total lack of customer service.
Desirable resolution: Full refund of the journey plus repair the seats plus financial compensation for inconvenience.

bagged travel claim
Hello,
I have traveled from Pune To Birmingham on 16th Dec 2016 in which my Check in Bag got damaged.( Ticket No [protected]).
I have reported the same after arrival on 17th Dec and for which I am in discussion with Air India customer care for related claim and still struggling to get it closed.
It's more than 6 months, how this can be closed, your team has sent cheque on 12th April and but as per Royal mail, envelop do not have flat No hence they didn't delivered it.
Now I am back in India, I am getting very poor feedback from customer care, is any one from Air India help me to get this closed?
Regards
