Very bad attitude of all Airlines. Some of Air Lines agrees to cancel the tikits without charges, however they would not refund the amount, but issue credit Note for use by same passenger within 6 Months. This is very unfair. It would be veru difficult to reschedule the trip. THEY MUST REFUND 100 % Amount more

I could not postpone / cancell my flights ib Airindia flights. None of the help line numbers working, no email response. Tries atleast 100 times in their helpline number, online, by e-mail, even at air port counter. But I could not succeed to change / cancel / postpone tickets for me and myself which we did not fly on 18th March, 20th March and return tickets for me and my family. Still I am waiting for response againt my e-mail from Airlines . Alsio till date non help lines are working. more
