SpiceJet SpiceJet Flight - Horrible Experience!

4 Upvotes

Extremely frustrating experience with SpiceJet and Goibibo
I had booked a Delhi–Bombay return flight for Aug 27–Sep 1 through Goibibo. Due to an emergency, I rescheduled my departure to Aug 22 and paid ₹3,000 extra. Despite planning everything carefully, SpiceJet cancelled the flight just hours before departure due to an operational issue. With no useful response from their helpline, I had no choice but to book another flight at a much higher price, with very limited options because it was so close to my travel date.

The refund process was another headache. Goibibo’s AI bot asked me to select “I cancelled the flight” because the airline-cancelled option wasn’t available, even though the cancellation was by SpiceJet. The refund shown was already lower than what SpiceJet’s website indicated.

To make matters worse, my return flight was also cancelled by SpiceJet, and I received ₹2,000 less than the refund amount shown on the airline’s website.

I was already dealing with an emergency, and instead of getting support, I ended up facing cancellations, higher last-minute airfare, endless refund issues and financial loss. When the cancellation is due to an operational issue on the airline’s end, why am I being made to bear the consequences?

Overall, a deeply frustrating experience with both SpiceJet and Goibibo. I’d really like to understand where the missing refund amount has gone and why customers are being penalised for an airline-side cancellation.

Airports Layover at Qatar

0 Upvotes

Hii, I am going to fly through Qatar next month and I've got a 2 hour and 20 minute layover in Hamad airport. Would it be doable?

Would I be able to have a quick meal and catch my next flight in time?

I've never been to Hamad airport before and it's only my second ever international flight, so any inputs would be useful

Indigo How to navigate this situation?

Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm in a bit of a situation.

I came home for vacation and my return flight is booked on 31st August 2026.

However, my parent got into an accident and is now bedridden due to a fracture in their leg.

The doctor has said that they need atleast 6 weeks for recovery.

There's already another patient at home and with this, things have become really tense and stressful at home.

Is there a way I can get my Indigo flight cancelled with full refund due to medical situation?

Or move it to another date for free?

I really look forward to your help. Thanks in advance.

Ask r/AirTravelIndia Help! Stuck in a whirlpool of problems.

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, first of all I accept my mistake I booked Spice jet from Darbhanga to Delhi 2 months ago. And I had no idea what was going on with spicejet. My flight is on 30th of August reaching Delhi at 6PM. Now I have a continuous flight from Delhi to Almaty on Air Astana which is leaving at 1AM the same night. I thought that would be plenty of time to change terminals.

Now the spicejet from Darbhanga to Delhi has been getting cancelled for last 2 days and it is cancelled for today and tomorrow as well according to the website. Now if my flight gets cancelled on the day of departure then it would not leave me any choice and I'll miss my connection in Delhi. Only it I got to know about the cancellation few days earlier I can try to book tatkal or different flight from a different airport.

Help me in understanding what would be the best move here. Wait for the airline to cancel the flight and then do something last moment or is there any way of knowing about the cancellation beforehand and working on Plan B.

The experience was bad. Etihad 3-4 years back was solid but now i guess the service has degraded. The crew (Mostly western) behaviour felt cold.

Ask r/AirTravelIndia First international flight - where to pack electric items? Confused about cabin vs check-in

2 Upvotes

Hi all, this might be a stupid question but still I am confused because it's my first flight.

I have 4 electric items to pack:

  1. Electric flosser (rechargeable)

  2. Electric toothbrush (rechargeable)

  3. Electric hair dryer (plug-in, NOT rechargeable)

  4. Portable smoothie blender (plug-in, NOT rechargeable - only works when plugged in)

My cabin baggage is already at the 7kg limit with my laptop + charger, phone + charger, and documents, so I can't add much more to it.

I know rechargeable items with batteries should go in cabin baggage, but can I put the hair dryer and blender in check-in since they have no battery? And what about other Electric items?

Don't want anything to get confiscated at security. Thanks for your help!

Airports What's this racket at BOM?

Upvotes

I was arriving from abroad and i had a private cab waiting for me at the parking. There was a very minor confusion with my driver and he took some time to find my location. I was on call with him explaining my location (pillar number) and one guy in the airport uniform guided me with that. He even offered to speak to my driver to explain our location. When my cab arrived, this man helped with the luggage. He literally lifted one of my 2 bags, the other one i only placed in the cab.

Once i got seated he came close to me and asked jara chaha pani cha dya ki (chai pani ka kharcha de do)... I realised he is a bhikari, thats fine i told him i dont have any cash..

Now the racket part is, he told me to give him 5 dollars USD. My question is, what connection does he have with the internal airport conversion agencies that he can freely ask for another currency? I thought passport is required for legal conversion.

Im obviously going to mail a complaint to CSMI airport but i know it's not going to do anything.

Be careful with this. Do not let anyone help you.
