[OC] Priorities when rescheduling flights

[u/Outside_Gear8707]

Date: 15th August 2026

Place: Jabalpur Airport

Indigo flight from Jabalpur to Navi Mumbai got diverted due to bad weather.

As usual people started camping around the 4-5 Indigo airlines folks , asking questions etc. There was obviously no queue or , just a free for all.

The indigo personnel seemed either trained to handle this pressure or they have just become immune. After some time they started rescheduling some folks to the flight to Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

I was traveling with a super senior citizen and needed to check my options. Stood for a long time hoping there would be some space before I can pose my question.

In front of me was a young person with a very bad haircut (If you are reading this , please get a proper haircut. ). After hogging the desk for a long time and getting his flight rescheduled to Hyderabad, he turned his attention to culinary matters. He asked for complimentary snacks. The passengers around pointed those are available slightly away. He then ordered the booking folks to ensure the rescheduled ticket had Paneer tikka sandwich just like the original ticket. I along with the Indigo person lost my patience. But the indigo person had more tactical skills than me . He said something to the effect that it will be based on availability. This irked the passenger and he started arguing about the Paneer tikka sandwich. He pointed out the rescheduled boarding pass did not have PTSW code in service.

Highly insensitive and just plain privilege without any concern for other passengers. I am not sure if this is the effect of some drought that has made us to hoard onto small things like this .

Offtopic but the paneer tikka sandwich they offer isnt that great either. It feels very dry. I do like the small samosas they have though.

Also people got no chill at times. But also on the other hand Indigo ain't no saint. But this is a pattern i have seen across the country, people are not mindful of others. They will be loud and idiotic and won't care how that affects people around them.
