AirAdvisor Expert: Hi there, We understand your concern regarding the refund. Please note that the airline refunded the ticket cost to the original method of payment used for the booking. Any additional costs you incurred for rescheduling or rebooking the flight are separate and are not covered by the airline’s refund policy. We recommend contacting the airline directly regarding the remaining costs, as they are the only entity authorized to process payments beyond the original ticket price.

am writing to express my extreme disappointment and outrage over the appalling treatment we received from IndiGo staff during our journey from Bangalore to Bali on 12th October at 12:30 AM. We had excess baggage and approached the staff for assistance and guidance on how to resolve the situation. We specifically sought help from the manager, Mr. Issac, expecting him to guide us through the available options and help us find a reasonable solution. Unfortunately, his behaviour was absolutely unacceptable. He was rude, dismissive and completely indifferent to our concerns. He would not even make an effort to look at us while speaking. His only response was that we had to pay ₹30,000, that there was no other option, and that we simply had to pay and proceed. We repeatedly asked him whether there were any alternatives. Not once did he make an effort to explain possible solutions or guide us through the options available. Something as simple as suggesting that we redistribute some of the excess items into our cabin baggage, carry-on luggage, or hand over a few items to family members who were accompanying us could have made a significant difference. We were already running late and were under considerable pressure. In such a situation, we naturally expected the customer service team, especially someone holding a managerial position, to guide us calmly and professionally. Instead, we were left feeling helpless, pressured and completely unsupported. What was even more disappointing was the attitude of the team leader at the ticket counter (a Chinese male staff member) and Mr. Issac. Rather than demonstrating a willingness to assist passengers and explore practical alternatives, their approach gave us the impression that collecting the additional payment was their only priority. Is this what IndiGo considers customer service? A manager's responsibility is not merely to demand payment and tell customers they have no choice. It is to listen, communicate respectfully, explain policies and, wherever possible, help customers navigate difficult situations. Unfortunately, Mr. Issac failed on every one of these counts. The entire experience was humiliating, stressful and deeply disappointing. It is particularly frustrating that when customers genuinely need assistance, the very people responsible for helping them choose to behave in such an arrogant and insensitive manner. I strongly question the customer service standards and the quality of managerial training at IndiGo if this is how passengers are treated at the airport.Technical problems
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally request compensation in relation to a delayed flight operated by IndiGo, under booking reference RBUFRE and PNR C5ZGWF. Before contacting you, I attempted to submit this claim through Indigo official website. However, the system does not allow me to proceed using the PNR C5ZGWF and my surname CEREZOCHINARRO, which has prevented me from filing the claim through their standard channel. The flight in question, although marketed and sold by Turkish Airlines, was operated by IndiGo. The flight arrived at its final destination with a significant delay due to a technical issue, which falls within the airline’s responsibility. Under applicable passenger rights regulations, including the Montreal Convention and, where relevant, Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, the operating carrier is responsible for the proper execution of the flight and for compensating passengers in the event of delays caused by technical problems. I initially submitted my claim to Turkish Airlines as the contracting carrier. However, they have explicitly refused to handle the claim and have redirected me to IndiGo as the operating carrier. Given the above, I kindly request that IndiGo: Reviews this case thoroughly Confirms the exact cause of the delay Provides the corresponding compensation in accordance with applicable regulations Please note that technical issues are generally not considered extraordinary circumstances and therefore do not exempt the airline from its compensation obligations. For your reference, I am including the relevant details: Booking reference: RBUFRE (Delhi - Istambul - Barcelona) PNR: C5ZGWF Passengers: Oscar Cerezo Chinarro / Javier Golbano Gómiz Nature of disruption: Delay due to technical issue Flight 6E11 Date: 11 April 2025 Departure time: 5:00 am Planned arrival time to Istambul: 14h (11 April 2026) Real arrival time to Istambul: aprox. 4.00 am (12 april 2026) Planned arrival time to Barcelona: 23:15h (11 April 2026) Real arrival time to Barcelona: aprox 11am (12 april 2026) A reply to my claim via email was never received.Anonymous member

Complaint Regarding Lack of Assistance at Mumbai Airport Following Flight Delay (PNR: V9132C
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to share my disappointment with the assistance we received at Mumbai Airport after a delayed flight caused us to miss our international connection, and to request your review of the matter. What happened Our flight from Goa was scheduled to depart at 10:35 am, with a connecting flight to Singapore at 2:05 pm. The Goa flight departed at 12:22 pm and reached the gate at Mumbai at 1:37 pm, so we could not make our connection through no fault of our own. In Goa, we were called and told that we would be put on the next available flight as there was a sure shot delay. However later were told flight will take off and that IndiGo officers in Mumbai would assist us on arrival and place us on the next available flight if we missed the connection. This reassurance was very welcome. Unfortunately, when we reached Mumbai, we found no one waiting to help us. When we approached the manager on duty, Mr. Raju, who had taken over from the duty officer, we did not receive the support we had been led to expect. He demonstrated a very condescending attitude in his speech, and behaviour. We were given various explanations as to why meals and accommodation could not be provided, and we were told we could rest in the waiting area of the airport and complain to who we wish. The way we were treated also left us feeling that rebooking us on another flight was a great favour being done for us, and that nothing further should be expected. We respectfully feel that rebooking and basic care for passengers whose connection is missed because of an airline delay is part of the airline’s responsibility, not a favour. We were also told that the in-airport transit hotel is reserved for international passengers, and that those on domestic flights are sent to hotels far from the airport, a process that takes considerable time to arrange. Since our journey was a single itinerary connecting to an international flight to Singapore, we felt we should have been treated as international transit passengers. As OCI cardholders, we also felt we were being treated differently from other passengers, and we would appreciate clarity on the basis for this decision. After a long and stressful journey that was not of our making, we found the overall response dismissive. We have been waiting at the airport with nothing …Unknown
We were travelling from Bangalore to Bali on 11th October at 12:30 AM and had excess baggage. We approached the manager, Issac, for guidance, but his behavior was extremely rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. He repeatedly insisted that we had no option but to pay ₹30,000, without making any effort to explain possible alternatives. The staff could have suggested redistributing items into our cabin baggage or handing some belongings to family members, if permitted. We were already running late and needed assistance, not an unhelpful attitude. Both Issac and the team leader at the ticket counter seemed more interested in collecting money than helping customers. This was pathetic customer service and completely unacceptable behaviour from people in responsible positions. A manager’s role is to guide and assist passengers, not make them feel helpless. This experience has left me extremely disappointed with IndiGo. I will think twice before ever travelling with IndiGo again, even if I visit India in the future. I hope the airline takes this complaint seriously and addresses the conduct of the staff involved.Manuel D

Formal Complaint Against IndiGo Staff for Extremely Poor Customer Service, Unprofessional Conduct, and Lack of Customer Support
Log in Sign up for free You said: we had flight from bangalore to Bali on the 12th October midnight at 12:30am , we had access luggage and asked for suggestion from the manager and his name was Issac , he was rude and ruthless , not even looking at us and was just saying that pay 30k , you have no other option , but to pay 30k and move , we asked many a times as to what are the other options , he could have suggested that you move few items and can dump it in the hand baggage or the carryon or give it to your family members , we were late and couldnot think anything that point of time , it was the duty of the customer team member , but the TL , the one on ticket counter a chinese guy and Issac were more keen on takinf money from us rather suggesting and helping the customer. pathetic service , name sake manager , i will never ever travel in my life with Indigo -if ever i visit India - reframe and put it in a very stron complaint ChatGPT said: Writing Subject: Formal Complaint Against IndiGo Staff for Extremely Poor Customer Service, Unprofessional Conduct, and Lack of Customer Support Dear IndiGo Customer Relations Team, I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and outrage at the appalling treatment we received from your staff at Bengaluru Airport while travelling from Bengaluru to Bali on 12 October at 12:30 AM. During check-in, we were informed that we had excess baggage. We approached the manager, a staff member named Issac, seeking guidance on the available options to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, instead of offering assistance, explaining the baggage policy, or helping us find a practical solution, he was incredibly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. His response was essentially that we had no option but to pay ₹30,000. He repeatedly insisted that we pay the amount without making any meaningful effort to explain the alternatives available to us. He would not even make the effort to properly engage with us or address our concerns with basic courtesy and respect. What made this experience particularly unacceptable was the complete absence of customer support. We were already running late and were under considerable pressure. In such a situation, we expected a manager to guide us calmly and professionally. Simple, practical suggestions could have made a significant difference, such as redistributing some items into our permitted cabin baggage, transferring belongings to family members travelling with us, or exploring any other options permitted under IndiGo's baggage policy. We were not asking for special treatment or an exemption from the rules. We were asking for guidance, reasonable alternatives, and basic human courtesy. The conduct of Issac, along with the team leader at the ticket counter, who was a Chinese male staff member, was equally disappointing. Rather than helping us understand our options, the interaction left us with the impression that collecting the excess baggage fee was their only priority. Instead of resolving a customer's concern, they made an already stressful situation significantly worse. I find it deeply concerning that a person holding a managerial position could demonstrate such a complete lack of empathy, communication, and customer-handling skills. A manager's responsibility is not merely to demand payment but also to explain policies, guide customers through available options, and handle difficult situations with professionalism and respect. This was not just poor service; it was a complete failure of customer care. The experience left us feeling helpless, disrespected, and thoroughly frustrated. No customer should have to deal with such dismissive behaviour when seeking assistance from an airline's own staff. IndiGo may have established baggage policies, but policies do not justify rude behaviour, indifference, or a refusal to guide customers. The way a company treats its customers during stressful situations says far more about its service standards than any advertisement or customer-service promise. As a result of this experience, I have completely lost confidence in IndiGo. What should have been the beginning of our journey to Bali became an extremely unpleasant experience before we had even boarded the flight. I am genuinely reluctant to ever travel with IndiGo again, even on future visits to India. This is the level of dissatisfaction your staff's conduct has created. I expect IndiGo to take this complaint seriously and not dismiss it with a generic, templated apology. I request the following: A formal investigation into the conduct of Issac and the team leader on duty at the Bengaluru Airport ticket counter. A review of the airport CCTV footage and any available staff interaction records, if available, to establish how the situation was handled. A clear explanation of the baggage charges imposed, the applicable policy, and the alternatives available to passengers in such circumstances. A written response from the concerned customer relations or airport management team, explaining what action will be taken to address this incident and prevent similar experiences for other passengers. I would appreciate a response that addresses the specific concerns raised in this complaint rather than a standard apology that offers no accountability. IndiGo needs to understand that customers deserve more than a demand for payment when they approach staff for help. They deserve respectful communication, transparent explanations, and reasonable assistance within the airline's policies. This experience has seriously damaged my trust in IndiGo, and I expect the airline to take responsibility for the way its staff treated us. I look forward to your formal response and a satisfactory resolution.Overall

We are a group of 7 passengers with a confirmed booking (Reference: BDI64R) with IndiGo Airlines for a flight from Mumbai (BOM) to Amsterdam (AMS). IndiGo cancelled the flight. On multiple phone calls, I explicitly instructed them not to refund and to rebook our group instead. Despite my clear instructions, IndiGo processed a full refund automatically without my consent. IndiGo claimed there were "no operational flights until 31 March." However, one of our passengers successfully purchased and traveled on an IndiGo flight to the same destination, proving this statement false. IndiGo then stated the booking was "closed" because the refund had been processed. They asked us to wait and then stopped responding entirely for over 5 days. As a result, all 7 passengers were forced to purchase alternative tickets on another airline at significantly higher fares. I filed a complaint with the DGCA in India but have received no response. We are seeking reimbursement of the fare differences for all 7 passengers.Anonymous member

Problems at airport
My claim is based on Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 (EU261), as our journey from Amsterdam (AMS) to Hyderabad (HYD) was booked under a single PNR, VFQCXK, for three passengers, with Hyderabad being our final destination. The original scheduled arrival time in Hyderabad was approximately 07:20 AM. Due to the disruption and subsequent rerouting, we eventually arrived in Hyderabad at approximately 13:20 PM, resulting in a delay of approximately six hours at our final destination. 1. Rerouting was not provided at the earliest reasonable opportunity: Although our inbound flight arrived in Mumbai approximately one hour late, IndiGo booked us on the 11:40 AM Mumbai–Hyderabad flight. However, Mumbai–Hyderabad flights were operating between roughly 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM and between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, which could have enabled us to reach Hyderabad substantially earlier. More importantly, we observed that some passengers who travelled with us on the same AMS–Mumbai flight were accommodated on these earlier Mumbai–Hyderabad flights. We chose to remain calm and cooperative throughout the disruption and followed the instructions provided by IndiGo staff at Mumbai Airport. We did not create a disturbance or insist aggressively on preferential treatment because we reasonably expected IndiGo to arrange the earliest available rerouting for all affected passengers. However, it appeared that passengers who raised their concerns more forcefully about missing their connections were given priority and accommodated on the earlier flights, while we were required to wait until the 11:40 AM flight. Under Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, passengers are entitled to rerouting to their final destination at the earliest opportunity under comparable transport conditions. If earlier flights were available and passengers from our same disrupted flight were accommodated on them, we respectfully ask IndiGo to explain why our family was not offered the same opportunity. 2. Lack of care and assistance during the prolonged waiting period: We also wish to highlight that during the prolonged waiting period at Mumbai Airport, IndiGo did not provide us with food, refreshments, meal vouchers or other reasonable assistance. No lounge access or alternative refreshment arrangements were provided either. We understand that lounge access itself may not constitute a specific entitlement under EU261. However, given the prolonged waiting period and the substantial delay ultimately experienced at our final destination, we would like IndiGo to clarify what care and assistance was provided to us during this period and how this complied with the airline's obligations under Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. 3. Final destination delay: Regardless of the circumstances that caused the initial disruption, our final arrival in Hyderabad was approximately six hours later than scheduled.No reason given

Missed flight due to severe airport security delays
On 21 March 2020, I was travelling from Delhi to Udaipur on an IndiGo flight. I reached Delhi Airport in sufficient time, but I was delayed for a long time because of the security/mandatory COVID-19 screening and extremely long queues at the airport. As a result, I was unable to reach the boarding gate in time and missed my flight. The airport was experiencing severe delays and long queues that day, which was widely reported in the media. I had to face financial loss and significant inconvenience because I missed my flight. I request IndiGo to investigate what happened and provide appropriate compensation/refund for the loss I sufferedOverall

Attempted theft and damages on bicycles under Indigo's possession
On 7 July 2026, I travelled on IndiGo flight 6E6350 from New Delhi (DEL) to Leh (IXL), PNR XD7Y2A. I had pre-purchased the "Sports Equipment Handling" service to check in my bicycle. On arrival in Leh, I collected my bicycle in a severely damaged condition, showing clear signs of manipulation by a third party during transport: the front wheel axle had been partially removed, and the front brake lever was forced and damaged. The bike bag also showed a hole. I reported the damage immediately to IndiGo staff at Leh airport, who photographed my boarding pass and the damage. Because the bicycle was essential equipment for a cycling expedition in Ladakh, I had to arrange emergency repairs locally in Leh (invoice available). I filed a formal complaint with IndiGo on 8 July 2026, including photographs. After an exchange lasting several weeks (IndiGo initially requested bank statements, then GST-compliant repair invoices, which I provided), IndiGo rejected the claim on 8 August 2026 and offered only an INR 5,000 travel voucher (~€53) as a goodwill gesture, which is far below the actual damage sustained (bicycle valued at approximately €500, plus repair costs). I formally rejected this offer as full and final settlement and requested, among other things, a certificate of deterioration/PIR (or written confirmation the damage was reported on arrival), clarification on the GST invoices, acceptance of an independent damage assessment, and preservation of CCTV footage from Delhi and Leh airports. IndiGo has not yet provided a substantive response to these outstanding points. I am seeking compensation for the damage caused to my checked sports equipment while in IndiGo's custody.Overall

However we have good experience in flight but we found our check-in baggage damaged at Delhi airport and no concerned person available to address our concerns. An Indigo employee named Manish was asking us to wait for more than an hour for their senior to come. Since we have connecting flight to travel further we were not able to wait and asked him to provide a reference number for our complaint to communicate further in future. Which he has not provided and he is not ready to share his employee details like employee number or code to quote further.

Request for Full Refund Without Cancellation Charges Due to Medical Emergency – PNR DD7JJA
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you that my family and I will be unable to travel on our scheduled flight on 18 August 2026 under PNR DD7JJA due to an unforeseen medical emergency requiring my emergency surgery. As my surgery and subsequent medical condition make it impossible for me to undertake the journey, my family members are also unable to travel as planned. This unfortunate situation is entirely beyond our control. In view of these exceptional circumstances, I respectfully request that IndiGo process a full refund of the entire booking amount without deducting any cancellation charges. If a monetary refund is not possible, I would appreciate the issuance of travel credit for the full booking value, without any cancellation fee deductions. I kindly request that this case be considered compassionately and that all cancellation charges be waived in light of the genuine medical emergency. I am prepared to provide all relevant supporting documents, including medical records, a doctor's certificate, and any other documentation required to substantiate my request. I sincerely hope IndiGo will consider this request on humanitarian grounds and extend its support by approving a full refund or full-value travel credit without any deductions. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your favorable response. Yours faithfully, Neelam Mahakal & Family +91 9920103576 neelam277@yahoo.com PNR: DD7JJA

I spent £145.00 on food and drinks at mumbai airport BUT I paid in cash with no receipts.. Good Morning Indigo I am emailing you to demand a sizeable refund due to the appalling circumstances listed below.. On the 25th of November my wife who as lung cancer and myself a 71 year old, who as just undergone a knee replacement.. Were booked on a flight to Thailand with Go-indigo, due to our ill health we travelled business class. We were due to arrive in Bangkok at 09.45am on the 26th of November. My wife was due to have another appointment regarding her cancer issues at the med-park hospital at 2pm on the 26th November. To our dismay upon arrival at the check-in at Manchester airport at 9.00am for our 11.40am flight to Mumbai.. We were informed that there was a problem with the aircraft, and there would be a significant delay.. We were given a £7 voucher for the duty free.. Our first leg of our journey to Thailand which was to Mumbai eventually set off at 16.15pm.. 4hrs 35mins delayed. Upon arriving in Mumbai at 6.45am we had obviously missed our connecting Indigo flight to Bangkok.. We were informed that the next flight to Bangkok would be 15.50pm.. this again was delayed, and left Mumbai at 16.25pm.. Me and my wife had to sit around the airport for over 9 hrs in our bad health conditions. Indigo ticked our boarding cards offering a free drink at KFC ( sprite or coke ) DISGUSTING After boarding our plane to Bangkok, imagine our dis-pleasure to be told by other business class flyers. That they were put up in the airport hotel for 8hrs with food and drinks, and comfort and beds to sleep. We were struggling with our health, and we were offered a free drink at KFC ?? which we never frequent.. Not even received an hot beverage, you should be disgusted with your service. We eventually arrived in Bangkok at 22.10pm, 12hrs 25mins later than we should have arrived.. My wife missed her 14.00pm appointment and we had to re-book her appointment 2 days later.. Which in turn ruined our planned stay at Jomtien for the grand 2 day firework festival.. All in all going business class with Indigo was the worst experience ever.. To arriving at Manchester airport at 8.00am on the 25th and finally arriving in Bangkok at 22.10pm on the 26th.. That is one hell of a delay and we certainly were not cared for, on top of this delay, all our hospital and holiday plans were ruined. I hope you have the decency to offer a substantial refund for your delays and lack of respect for your passengers. Lets hope you can settle this in a proper manner, otherwise I will instruct my solicitor to sue Go-indigo Airlines.. It was over 12hrs late to our final destinationNo reason given
They didn't deliver my baggages yet. I called the airline to get any update and they said they are yet to trace my baggage which is so unprofessional. It's been 2 days I still haven't received my baggageAnonymous member

The worst flying experience ever!
To the Management & Complaint Handler of Indigo Airlines. I am writing to raise a significant unlawful act handled by the staff and team of Indigo customer service airport managers. The complaint PNR is for Z1DY5B & N3RY8V, for passengers Dilbaagh Singh Derewal, Sahib Singh Derewal, Satveer Rani & Rioraj Parkar. The initial flight was a domestic flight, which requires a clear 1-hour arrival before departure; however, our flight was scheduled to depart at 5:00 am on 21st April 2026 from Terminal 1. Satveer Rani & Rioraj Parkar arrived by 3.30 am, & Dilbaagh Singh & Sahib Singh arrived just slightly after. This is all recorded on CCTV. At the time of arrival, Satveer had taken her son Rioraj to the check-in counter, where the lady had started to take her passport and asked her flight details. She was unable to locate her PNR despite handing over the entire flight confirmation. The staff seemed incompetent as she started talking to another cabin crew member behind without realising how serious it was to board the passengers who had arrived at the check-in. Approximately 5-10 minutes delayed, she had a message from the crew manager saying boarding has now started, so please close check-in. My sister had started crying immediately due to understanding the importance of our return was a matter of the severity of her child, as he had MOCK exams for his high school. We had requested to speak to the manager immediately to resolve this; however, the staff of Indigo had called him, and it had taken him approximately 25 minutes to come downstairs to us. Furthermore, which made the situation even more difficult, the manager had marked us down as 'No Show,' and on the system they had put us down as -30, which means we had arrived at 4.30 am. This is an absolute lie, which can be proven via the CCTV of the airport. We had contacted British Airways about the entire issue. They had clearly stated that, as this is a domestic connection flight, you only need to arrive at the airport, as you will not need to go through immigration & immigration clearance is only required in our final flight from Mumbai to London Heathrow. Once the manager had arrived he had asked the check in staff why did they not board Satveer Rani & Rioraj Parkar as they were on a different booking to Dilbaagh Singh Derewal & Sahib Singh Derewal, and there response was, because we thought its a complete family and we did not wish to board them seperate so we advised Satveer just please wait and we will check all passengers us in together. I had spoken to the complaints desk, who, at this point, it was approximately 4:20 am, and they had taken us to an seperate counter where they were trying to resolve the issue. Due to the unsystemised queuing and ignorant staff members not trying to help their customers, the manager had advised the counter staff to board us on the Mumbai flight for 6.05 am, which will arrive in Mumbai at 8.05 am, and will allow us enough time to still get our connection flight for 9.30 am from Mumbai to London Heathrow via British Airways. At this point, British Airways was on call and had clearly stated that, combined with Indigo support, we can rebook your flight from Mumbai to London Heathrow on a new PNR, as if the connection flight is missed, your final flight will automatically be cancelled. The only support which was required was from Indigo, to either remove the false 'No Show' comment or to get us to Mumbai and cooperate with British Airways for a flight replacement, as the early closure of check-in had nothing to do with an error from our end. We would have been at the airport at 1 am; however, explaining the unforseen circumstances, there was a major accident on the highway on the way to the airport, which had caused us significant delays. I have attached images of my child at the airport sleeping on the floor. Sahib and Rioraj have felt traumatised due to the way the entire return was. They've been exhausted, unwell. They've had to miss out on school for the remainder of this week. We even have recordings of customer service advisors saying they have removed the no-show comment from the system, and lied. This was Indigo's direct customer service line; however, when contacted, British Airways said the No Show comment is still on the system. The number of issues 2 days extended return has created is not explainable. We had 2 purchase emergency return flights due to the children's health for £1680, and these flights had returned to London Gatwick, where we had to get a taxi to Heathrow as our car was parked there, which cost £91.80. We were scheduled to arrive on 21st April 2026 at 3:00 pm UK time, but we arrived on 22nd April 8.40 pm, had to get a taxi from Gatwick to near heathrow where the car was parked, which took another hour, and returned to Birmingham on 23rd April 2026 1.45 am. Rioraj & Sahib have still not been well, from the best trip they could have experienced to the worst, due to Indigo's customer service. I have been in touch with the British Embassy & a Legal Consultation who have looked into everything and advised there was no reason at all why you wasnt allowed to check in. We were sent to Terminal 3 from Terminal 1, where we had taxi expenses with luggage and children to speak to British Airways, which made no sense at all, as our initial flight was with Indigo and only they could have rectified this. I surely can say, Indigo needs to have quality training provided to the staff and team, especially management, who could have prevented this complaint if dealt with the passengers correctly within the airport. We had spoken to 3 - 4 different managers representing Indigo, they all had different advice, and none of them were actual able to help. This will for sure be escalated if not resolved. I will be taking it to India authorities also if required, and I will uphold my complaint to the highest authorities until my compensation is not provided. My contact details are provided below for when the team would like to contact me. Dilbaagh Singh Sir.dil@hotmail.com Managing Director United Kingdom 07956 730884Overall

Hi passenger details are Yakub Yusuf Shikora Hamida Sikora My name is Farhan Shikora and I claiming on behalf of my parents. Initial time for departure was 11.40 but flight delayed to roughly 4pm.Influence by other flights
My flight departed late because the inbound aircraft was delayed, and as a result, I arrived at my final destination 3 hours and 50 minutes later than the scheduled arrival time.These complaints are the subjective opinion of AirAdvisor members and not of AirAdvisor International Inc. We will try to monitor complaints for compliance (as feasible).

Verified CustomerI’d like to thank Air Advisor for their help. I didn't think I’d get anything, but after two years—and with their assistance—I received compensation. Thank you very much.
Luciano Moggia
Verified CustomerI used Air Advisor for the first time and received compensation for a flight that was delayed by more than three hours. There were some difficulties with the airline, and the process took two years to complete. Air Advisor had to involve lawyers and take legal action, which reduced the compensation to 50% of the original amount, exactly as clearly explained on their website. Overall, I am satisfied with the service and believe that Air Advisor did a good job handling my case.
