IndiGo Complaints & Reviews

I am travelling on an Indigo Flight 6E245 from Raipur to Mumbai via Indore. Few minutes back the flight had landed in Indore. While the cabin crew was identifying the cabin luggage, a green bad was initially found which had no claimant. After some minutes, a traveller identified the luggage as his. When it was identified, the crew members were found making fun of the situation by gestures and conversations among themselves. One cabin crew member was gesturing to her colleague with hand moments depicting "a crew member made several rounds asking whom it belonged to." The entire situation was made ridiculous and they kept laughing among themselves for a lot of other passengers to notice.

I found these gestures and expressions very unfriendly and offensive. It clearly showed the interest of crew members in making fun of the entire situation.

Sir/Madam,

I travelled by Indigo airline from Hyderabad to Mumbai on 20th August 2012 vide 6E 246 departing 7.20 Am from Hyderabad.

I had a checked-in luggage which when i collected at Mumbai airport i found that side zips were opened and my an item of mine Sunglass worth more than Rs.8000 was found missing. Then i realized that my baggage did not have either the security checked-in tag or the plastic locks which the airline deploy for open zips while check-in.

Though Airline contended that i was not supposed to carry valuable items in the checked-in luggage and they cited their non liability clauses they however evaded answer to my basic question of why my checked-in luggage did arrive without the checked-in tag. The sane was discussed with their customer support team at Mumbai airport and they took photograph of the open bag and assured to carry out the investigation and also asked me to complain to their central customer support cell. The following emails responses from their central support cell is appended below which shows complete inadequecies in their follow up procedure/non adherence to their checked-in luggage process which was not followed. If they were confident that they were followed at their end they should address the issue staright owning moral responsibility and compensate for the loss. Instead they are adding more harassment and woes to my already harasses state of mind of being victimized for their employees inefficiencies resulting in deficiency of service.

Communication had with Indigo airline following my complaint on theft/pilferage on my checked-in luggage.

Subject: Re: Missing of Ray Ban Sun glass from checked-in luggage
VKWFBF 146292 Dear Neha,

Noted contents.

Can anyone explain why even checked in luggage tag was not put on
the luggage by your Hyd airport security?

When I picked up the luggage at Mumbai conveyor belt there was
neither checked-in luggage tag nor the security lock in tag on all
the open zips which was shown to your airport baggage services
personnel.

I can selectively understand that you apply security lock-in tag on
open zips but how come checked-in luggage passed the security
without check identity tag showing my luggage was checked in Hyd to
Mumbai before it was put on the flight.

Assuming my luggage was not loaded in the same flight how Indigo was
going to identify my luggage and cross verify with the tag pasted on
back of my boarding pass before handing over of the luggage to me?
This was clearly a non compliance with respect to any security
process.

Does that mean that if my luggage was picked up by any one even
inadvertently and returned to say
your baggage services dept can you explain how would you accept
first. Of all my claim of missing luggage without the proof of
matching tag in my bag?

So there are so many loop holes or open ended question with respect
to how my checked in luggage was mishandled by indigo and
unfortunately your replies seems not touching any of these aspects
and you wanted to only highlight your non liability clauses. Without
accepting the facts. Also I had shown the open zips and bag handle
open etc and you ground handling staff took photo of that.

In view of above I would like say that there was service level
deficiency and it has nothing to do with my choices.

Please get back to me with solution amicably else I would like to
approach consumer forum/ press to seek redressal of my complaint
with indigo stating deficiency of service.

Thanks

Dear Mr. Bhavanishankar,
Greetings from IndiGo! With reference to your mail,
we sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to you in this regard.
Further, I would like to confirm that seal is used to safeguard the
baggage and is applied on the baggage as per passengers request and
is not followed as a policy. We are therefore concerned to note your
comments about the baggage services. Moreover, we wish to clarify
that the baggage rules in the COC state all medication, valuables
and precious items (cameras, jewellery, money, mobile, electronics,
etc.) and items which are fragile or perishable should be carried in
Cabin Baggage and not in Checked Baggage. IndiGo is not responsible
for these items. However, post investigation done with the help of
the Airport team, I personally assure you that a thorough search has
been made at every possible location; however, we regret to inform
that we have been unable to locate the said item. On receipt of your
complaint, all the loaders were thoroughly frisked and checked
however; they did not establish any pilferage happening with the
said bag.Nevertheless, we have shared your mail as a strong feedback
with the concerned airport teams and with manager security for
further review and to ensure baggage delivery as per the standard
practices. Further, we will continue to search for the missing item,
and if we do locate it, we will promptly return it to you. Once
again, we thank you for sharing your views with us, as it plays a
critical role in enhancing service deliveries and achieve our goal
to exceed customer expectations. Notwithstanding the above
experience, we hope that you would give us another opportunity to
serve you again on board.

Hello, This has with regard to above subject. Today i
travelled by Indigo flight 6E 247 from Hyderabad to Mumbai (Seat
No.12B) and i found my bag side zips were found to be open when i
picked it up from conveyer belt in Mumbai. While checking I found
that my Ray Ban sun glass worth approx Rs.6000/- was found missing
which was kept on the side pocket. Unfortunately to my surprise i
found none of the zips were sealed as generally done for security as
well as to avoid any of these small thefts. While checking at your
baggage services - service personnel at Mumbai airport the simple
answer to above question was it was being done selectively upon
request by flying guest. I found that this answer was really
unsatisfactory and did not provide any solution. Further she asked
me to send an email registering the compliant formally from end. The
checked - in luggage tag ref: VKWFBF; 6E [protected]; SEQ-0155; I
request Indigo customer relation to take above input seriously,
investigate and provide a solution at the earliest. This is my
humble request as i hold Indigo at my highest esteem that i don't
want to be let down eventually. Look forward to hear from you at the
earliest. Thanks Jayakumar BhavanishankarCell: +[protected]IndiGo

Dear Neha,

As you have referred we did not discuss anything and we have not
been in any agreement with respect to the dispute and your
interpretation of the same.

On the contrary i am very upset that Indigo wasted my time and also
added more harassment to me by the way the communication was from
your end.

Please note that until the issue is settled to my satisfaction i am
not going to rest this matter as i feel rather i have been victimzed
and harassed for chossing to fly by Indigo with your deficiency in
passenger service.

I am very sure that your senior management will not brush this issue
aside and put it under the carpet as it has been made out from your
way of communication.

Unfortunately some one is being protected and an innocent customer
is made to suffer in the hands of some irresponsible employee who
was supposed to follow certain security check-in process for the
checked-in luggage and because of the loop hole available in the
system and customer is made to pay for it instead of fixing the
system/erring employee.

Once the airline accepted the baggage and until it is handed over to
the client/customer it is the responsibility of the airline to
protect the luggage. Your non liability clauses as stated does not
apply here as my complaint has to do with pilfereage/theft which was
a lapse at your end and when i pointed out the flaws you have been
vague/evasive in your reply.

In view of this i am not in agreement with your contention with
respect to my complaint and i wish to interact with some one senior
at your end to discuss the way forward.

Thanks

Jayakumar

I had one of the worst flying experience on 22nd 2012 in Indigo airline from Chennai to Delhi....Indigo aircraft 6E282 had no reclining seat and it was the sickest flight i ever had! Nothing more than typical village town bus. Passenger name: Newbin Santhosh, Seat No: 11A PNR:ZJ7NDF. I made a complaint to the customer care but no satisfactory actions taken. I want indigo refund my ticket fare and pay a compensation for the inconvenience caused

I am Manoj S. Londhe. I had entered following details while booking round trip for my wife Mrs. Manali Londhe - Mumbai-Delhi- Mumbai.

1. Mumbai - Delhi - 16.08.2012, 6E 174, 16.40 hrs departure from Mumbai.
2. Delhi - Mumbai - 22.08.2012, 6E 187, 18.30 hrs departure from Delhi.

To my utter surprise/ dismay, in the ticket the booking appeared as,



Going Out - Mumbai to Delhi

Flight Date From To Departs Arrives
6E 184 16Aug12 Mumbai Delhi 6:20 AM 8:25 AM


Coming Back - Delhi to Mumbai

Flight Date From To Departs Arrives
6E 183 22Aug12 Delhi Mumbai 6:35 AM 8:35 AM

Now Indigo demands Rs. 950/- per flight = Rs. 1900/- for changing the flights.

On 22nd July, I called to enquire on few things reqgarding the airtickets booking with Indigo. The person name was Sunil who insisted me that if I go with he booking with call centers , I will be getting some additional discounts.
The conversation started at 8:22 AM today and lasted for 17 mins. As suggested by him that discounts are there ,so I agered to go for the booking.
I told him that We were 2 Adults and 1 infant and the amount came Rs.12486.00. He told that he will give 1000/- of and it will Rs.11486.00. I purchased the ticket and dropped the call. As I was checking the e-ticket I found that Infant
was not added with any of the 2 adults. Immediately I given a call and Shalini picked up the call and she mentioned infant is not added and I have to pay more Rs.1000 to get it done.
Now on the offer that was given to me , If I see without infant my amount was Rs. 11486.00 which I have paid. So as per that the Call Center person didn’t given me any OFF on the rates. He bluffed me rather. I need the things to be rectified
and the infant name should get added.

Till today nobosy has called yet to solve the problem despite of lodging complaint through Indigo Website.
Below I attach the mail chain with indigo represtative.

I have booked a ticket from Mumbai to Shrinagar which was scheduled at 11.00am and I was supposed to reach 45 minutes prior to the flight. And due to traffic jam on the gate of airport I reached 5 mins late at 10.20am. Despite my several request they didn't allow me for the boarding pass, wherein many times I waited on the airport for the delay caused by them without any complaint or compensation. Further when I asked for the refund, I got the reply from Indigo as, once a booking is made, the basic fare and all IndiGo surcharges paid are non-refundable. If you do not check in for a flight at least 45 minutes prior to its scheduled departure time, this total amount will get forfeited. You are, however, entitled to a refund of the Government of India applicable amount of the Passenger Service Fee (PSF) and the User Development Fee (UDF).
I failed to understand that why should I pay for the taxes which I could not even able to enter the airport. the taxes were clearly bifurcated as follows in the ticket I booked.

I was suppose to board Indigo Hyderabad-Delhi flight at 6.10am on 14th July 2012. I reached the airport and Indigo counter at 5.23am. After serving my previous customer and talking to me for 2 minutes, my customer service representative said that I am 4 minutes late and the gates are closed. The alternative is that I have to pay the fare difference INR 4500 plus INR1900 of allocation charges for allocating a seat in the next flight which is at 10.45am. I ended up paying INR2000 for the flight at 3.45pm the same day to save the extra INR4500. I have travelled on indigo earlier and boarded flight just 25minutes before. I spoke with the indigo manager who is present there and he don't even care, says it’s your problem we have this new 45 minutes reporting policy. It makes since if I was 10 or 15 minutes late, but I was there on time and refusing to board with 4 minutes late reason is not acceptable, especially the INR1900 of allocation charges. It is just ripping off customer pockets. Not going to opt indigo anymore and will insist all my friends and colleagues to do so...

Venkat.

Sir,
It is very sorry to say that , I had purchased two tickets from Indigo official website on 7th of June 2012 for Kolkata to Agartala dated on 16th July 2012, booking reference was NGUDLB . Due to some unavoidable circumstances I had canceled those two tickets on 26th of June 2012 and immediately I had informed the Indigo customer care to refund my amount (3506/-) as per their norms to my bank account . From the same day the customer care executive replied me that it will processed and will take 7 to 10 working days to refund to the bank .
Still today , no money had been credited to my bank account . I had repeatedly called the customer care of INDIGO airlines and last from 3rd July 2012 they are telling me different stories in different days and killing my time and repeatedly asking time for 48 to 72 hours . I don't know what's wrong with them , and though I am a frequent flyer and regularly booking the ticket online , but now I am facing the problem first time from INDIGO airline .
Please take the necessary action to solve my problem , because without any default my banker (CITIBANK) will consider me as a defaulter , where as I have no intension to become the defaulter .
Waiting for the early cooperation .
Thanks & Regards .

I had a horrible experience while travelling on the Indigo flight on 08 JUL 2012. I am pasting below, the email and the complaint that I sent to the concerned people with the airline. That would shed light on the plight I faced.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Hemant Yadav and I had a booking for 08 Jul 2012 from BOM - BLR and return from BLR - BOM on your flight number 6E 421 and 6E 422 respectively with reference number DHQSCB. The onward journey from Mumbai to Bangalore was pleasant and I had no issues with it but on the return flight I had to face many difficulties. As you know the Bangalore airport is situated much outside the main city limits I had taken a cab and had rushed to the airport for departure to Mumbai. I reached the Airport 55 minutes before the scheduled departure time and as I was in a big queue, by the time I came to the check-in counter the remaining time was 40 minutes to departure. The lady on the counter asked me to see the manager who was not present at the very moment. By the time I could see him, 5 more minutes were wasted and the manager said that as per policy I could not board the flight. I was shocked at this and the way he behaved was very very impolite.I am not sure of his name, but I think it was guru something. I was asked to see Naveen, again a customer relations manager to re-schedule my flight. He also said that now so much time has passed and that I cant be allowed to board, I will have to shell out another 5000 rupees to get the next flight scheduled at 09.40 PM. I was in a state of shock as these incidents happened. I am a regular traveller and I am a law abiding citizen. I knew for a fact that at the very first instance they could have considered the situation where in I was just 5 mins late within the policy of 45 mins before flight check-in.Also the way I was asked to run from pillar to post made it worst. After that I was forced to pay INR 4928 and got the next flight. The entire experience of travelling with Indigo had put me in a horrible situation. I would request you to kindly look into the same and if possible offer me the refund of the excess money that I have been charged unneccessarily.

For any further details please feel free to contact me on +91-[protected] or email me on mail.[protected]@gmail.com

SECONDLY, IT WAS THE 24TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF MY FATHER WHO HAD PASSED AWAY ON 19TH JUNE, 1988 AT THE AGE OF 40 AFTER A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK. I WAS IN A STATE OF ABSOLUTE TRAUMA. I WENT TO THE INDIGO COUNTER AND ASKED FOR THE PRINTOUT OF THE TICKET. I WAS ASKET TO PAY RS. 50 + RS. 50 FOR THE PRINTOUTS. SINCE I WAS NOT HAVING CASH, I GAVE MY CREDIT CARD AND WITH NO REASON, I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I WAS NOT HAVING CASH, I WIILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BOARD THE FLIGHT. DESPITE OF MAKING HUE AND CRY AND TELLING ABOUT THE STATE OF MY RELATIVE IN TRIVANDRUM, THERE WAS NO HELP. AFTER MUCH PERSUASSION FROM OTHER PASSENGERS AS WELL, I WAS TAKEN INSIDE AND GIVEN THE TICKET FROM PATNA TO DELHI. I KEPT STANDING IN THE QUEUE. ALL OTHER PASSENGES WERE GIVEN BOARDING PASS, BUT I WAS NOT ALLOWED. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BOARD AS A RESULT OF WHICH MY DELHI - TRIVANDRUM TICKET ALSO WENT WASTE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO TO THE RILWAY STATION AND HAD TO CHANGE 3 TRAINS, STANDING IN ALL TO REACH KOLKATA TO TAKE THE FIGHT FOR TRIVANDRUM ON 20TH JUNE, 2012. THE TORTURE RESULTED IN HIGH FEVER, VOMMITTING, GIDDINESS AND DETERIORATION IN MY HALTH. THE CONDITIO OF MY RELATIVE HAS WORSENENED SEVERELY AND THE CHANCES OF HIS SURVIVAL ARE NEGLIGIBLE. I REALLY DO NOT HAVE ANY WORDS FOR THE INCIDENT THAT I PASSED THROUGH. I APPEAL TO ALL CONCERNED TO INITIATE THE SEVEREST ACTION AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF INDIGO RESPONSIBLE FOR MY TORTURE. I REALLY AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TYPE OF DEMOCRACY WE LIVE IN.

Hi

My Grandmother Mrs Kiran Devi Surana travelled from Hyd to Kolkata on the 21st May 2012 from Flight no 6E351 and PNR no is HFJJBB.I called the toll free no[protected] and spoke to the officer and confirmed a Special Assistance for my grandmother on Senior Citizen Basis for Hyd on departure and Kolkata on arrival,as per your website.

However at the Hyderabad Airport the Potter ( from Indigo ) left my grandmother unattended without telling her many times.Then on Arrival at the Kolkata Airport she did not get any wheel chair assistance.She had to climb down from the Flight and then in the Bus and then get her own Luggage.The airhostesses on Board also did not bother about the same.However a passenger helped her out.

This is highly not taken from Indigo who have service as one of their important categories.You need to take care of Old people and respect there sentiments. " What she required was a Wheel Chair... not asking the airlines for Money"
or please change your motto from courteous and hassle free to UNCOURTEOUS AND FULL OF HASSLES

I hope indigo is not taking advantage of the thing that they are at the moment one of the Sole operators since Kingfisher and Indian Airlines have closed their services.

This query needs to be addressed as she was travelling alone for the first time and this is what was offered by Indigo Airlines both ways.I guess you need to give training to your ground staff specially potters and tighten their screws up.

On my way from Pune to New Delhi on the 24th April, 2012 from Indigo flight no. 6E 102 the airline lost 1 of my 2 checked in baggages. It was an Ecolac black and grey soft cover suitcase with trolley. It weighed around 8-9kgs. The airline is compensating for the loss with only Rs. 1600 where as the contents in the suitcase were worth around Rs.[protected].

Hi Sir,

I have booked 2 tickets for my parents from Dubai to Mumbai And then Mumbai to Indore for 24th April from Indigo. And I also have updated the Personal Assistance remarks to my parent’s tickets. As my mother have Spine surgery and she can’t stand more then half hour continuously. After updation my father was rushing here and there and mumbai airport Indigo staff has not taken any initiatives to help my parents. They were having connecting flight from Dubai to Mumbai and then 12 hours period was there in mumbai and then next flight was after 12 hours form mumbai to Indore.

My father and mother have been told to sit on chairs for 12 hours available at domestic airport and since 1 o’clock (night) to next day 25th April 1 o’clock they were sitting at domestic airport. After giving prior information to the Indigo staff they have not asked them to stay at international airport as the facilities and sitting arrangements was better there for my mother. They just took them to domestic airport and no assistant was present for helping them. My mother got savior back ache due to that. Also your Airport executive charged extra luggage charges from them for mumbai to indore flight. Where as per IATA guidelines all the international passengers - same luggage policy is allowed when they are travelling from Dubai to Indoe (MP).

Also when your customer care executive hardeep (Yesterday 24 april at 10 o'clock on recorded line) told me that 30kg baggage is allowed from dubai to indore then why they have charged extra amount from mumbai to indore on luggage ?

I will surely complaint about the irresponsible behavior of Indigo call center and staff to every higher level of Indigo as well as IATA govt authorities.

Booking reference no. : MDY7AI
Flight : 6E523

I had made a booking in an Indigo flight 6E523, to travel from Chennai to Kolkata on 06 Apr, 2012, Friday. The departure time of the flight was 08:10 AM. I was left stranded at the airport and the flight departed without me on board even after I was done with my security checking.
I had checked in at the airport at 06:30 AM and had got my boarding pass at the around the same time. I was seated in front of the Indigo check-in counter and was monitoring the status of my flight on the display screen at the airport. Till 07:40 AM the display showed that the flight is “Scheduled” but did not show that security check-in had started for the flight. As I had experienced gate nos. being changed at the last moment, I had not gone for security check-in at Gate No. 8 as specified in my boarding pass and was waiting for status to update in the display.
But the boarding time in the pass was specified as 07:30 AM. As the time was already 07:40 AM I went up to an Indigo check-in counter and enquired with one of their staff if security-check in had started for the flight. To which he replied, “You still have time”. But when the status did not update even till 07:50 AM and the flight was to depart at 08:10 AM, I went for security check-in at gate 8.I completed with my security check and was seated in front of Gate 8 at 07:55 AM. Even the display there showed the flight as scheduled. The display above gate 8 also did not show that boarding for the flight was being done there.
But when I did not find any change in the status even till 08:10 AM, I enquired what to do to a passenger seated next to me as I could not find a single Indigo staff at that floor. He suggested that I take the stairs down and catch hold of an Indigo staff.
When I went down and got hold of an Indigo staff at 08:20 AM, she in turn started shouting at me for not turning up! She said she had paged my name of the microphone many times and asked me “were you sleeping”! When I failed trying to explain what had happened to the staff, who was not ready to listen to a single word that I was telling, I asked for the next alternative. She said she could try to board me on an afternoon flight at 01:50 PM. I was taken to the same check-in counter where I was waiting where I found the same guy who had told me that there was time to security check-in. When I mentioned this to the staff who brought me there, she said, I agree mistake has been made by our staff but why did you not turn up when we paged your name many times. I was seated at the third row in front of gate 8 and the microphone was sparsely audible there, although I am sure I did not hear my name on the microphone at any time b/w 07:55 AM to 08:10 AM. And I surely WAS NOT SLEEPING!
Then the staff who brought me there said that I will have to meet their manager and I was made to sit in front of check-in counter for ONE HOUR till around 10 AM. On enquiring for the THIRD TIME if their manager had come I was taken to a room and was made to stand outside while the manager was talking seated inside! Even my case was not relayed to her and I myself had to explain the whole situation to her! After listening to the case she asked me to call the person who had given me wrong information that there was time to board the flight. After I called the guy, the manager questioned him and she understood that a miss had been made on their part. She asked him (in Hindi, though she was conversing the whole time with me in English but I happened to be well versed in Hindi) if he logged into the system to check if boarding had started for the flight and if he had verified for the staff in charge for the boarding of this flight, before giving me that answer. The person’s answer to both the questions were a “NO”. The manager also asked to me the same thing, as to why you did not respond when we paged your name so many times and that they even tried calling my number [protected] given at the time of booking. When I told her there was no log in my phone of such a call being made, she had nothing to say!
But even after understanding that a miss had been made on their part, all the manager had to say was that I would be accommodated in an alternate flight at 01:50 PM and that I would have to pay a 1500 rs plus the fare difference of 4100 rs. I requested many times that at least I should not be charged anything but she did not agree to it and in-fact kept my cancelled boarding pass on her table and started doing her other tasks. She in-fact left her office and was away somewhere in some time with me still standing there! Another staff in the office booked me a ticket in the flight and she said that the fare difference is 4626 and not 4100! I finally had to pay 6126 rs and take a flight at 01:50 PM to complete my travel. My original round trip ticket cost me 7384 rs, i.e around 3800 rs for one way. Instead I ended up paying around 9818 rs for the same.
I raised a complaint on the Indigo site to which they replied that they understood the situation but there is no way they could make a refund even then.

when I returned from Kolkata to Mumbai on 16th April, 2012 by Indigo 6E 324, seat no. 19E,Which arrived in at 2:30 pm, after collecting my baggage from the belt at Chhatrapati Shivaji Domestic Airport, I found my new bag 6E[protected] , SEQ - 0076, was torn and what I saw then I could'nt believe my eyes. I saw the loaders / porters just throwing the passangers bags from the Jeep directly on the belt which is very wrong. I unfortunately did not capture what I saw, This is how the staff with the airlines handle the passanger's valueables that we passangers pass on to you to take care with faith . I have informed about the damage done to my bag to the counter staff at the baggage counter who has also taken the photograph of my damaged bag and want the airlines pay the damage charges for my baggage at the earliest as the reason for the damage is because of the sheer negligence and laziness of your staff.

Thank you and regards

Hi,

I AM SORRY TO BRING TO YOUR KIND NOTICE THAT ON 12/MARCH/2012. I HAD TO GO TO BANGALORE FROM KOLKATA. AND I BOOKED YOUR FLIGHT NO.6E 377. VIDE PNR NO. QC17BG

I HAD REACHED THE COUNTERS AT 5:15AM AFTER GETTING MY BAG SECUTITY CHECKED AND ALL TO CATCH THE FLIGHT FOR 6:00AM. BUT I WAS NOT GIVIN THE BOARDING PASS. THIS PEOPLE ARE JUST DOING BUSINESS. THEY CHEAT NORMAL PEOPLE BY GIVING ALL EXCUSES.

THEY AT LAST DIDNT REFUND MY MONEY AND I GUESS THEY HAVE SOLD OUT MY TICKET.

This was a really terrible and horrifying experience for me and I caused a lot of stress and mental pressure on me

You are requested to kindly refund my money or issue me a ticket in lieu of the above mentioned ticket in order to restrain me from taking a legal stand against your airline.
