Dear Sir/ Madam,
I write this email to bring to your notice the misguidance and non-cooperation showcased by Spicejet staff at Delhi airport due to which I missed my flight to Bangalore (SG509) scheduled for departure on 10th July 2011 at 20:25 hours.
I reported on the other Delhi airport terminal no 3 where I was dropped by “Delhi metro airport shuttle service”. At 19:25 I displayed my e-ticket print-out to a Spicejet representative who guided me further inside the airport. As I continued, surprisingly, I was wished a pleasant flight to “Korea” by another Spicejet employee. On probing, I was informed, at 19:30 that Spicejet domestic operates from a different airport terminal no 1[D} and it will take 20 minutes to reach there. I requested the Spicejet counter to inform their counterparts for Bangalore bound flight to consider this and rushed to the other airport.
I reported at 19:55 (30 min before departure) on the check-in counter and I was abjectly denied boarding pass and said that they have received no information from anyone from other airport and passed on various statements like they won't make flight wait for anyone (which was out of question) . One executive even denied having any information about the call which I made via customer care (from metro) at 17:00 for giving information that I may be late.
After various discussions I learnt that spicejet delhi is well aware that everyday passengers confuse/get misinformed about the correct airport to go for boarding on these flights. Despite this the staff member continued redundant discussion and made sure I miss the flight and book new tickets.
Let alone the kind of service, the way, in which the whole matter was of disinterest for them despite repeated request, was appalling. I have been made to reschedule my flight without paying any heed to kind of losses it brings to me in both time and money.
During discussions I have been told that no other airline would even allow re-scheduling while in reality other airlines are far more flexible and do not throw the policy and rule book on your face as and when desired. This is anarchy.
It is my sincere request to you to provide us the full refund for the losses incurred on 10th July, 2011 at Delhi airport. My details are as below:
