Its high time in India today where the airlines, especially air Deccan has to look into passangers who are late and cannot make up for the flight but they should arrange for the next flight with out cancelling their ticket without refund.
In trafic Jammed indian cities, sometimes you cannot make it on time.
I had experienced this with air deccan. From bangalore to mumbai, I could make to the check in counter only 30 min or say 28 min that is what the attendend said and wrote on my ticket and told me to cancel it outside the airport, where the counter is.
when I reached out they said they will pay me only Rs.40/-.said I need not cancel get me any flight today to mumbai
which was not agreed sad to say this : I heard they over book it and throw out few passengers under various reasons.
I had no intention of hurting any once feeling or angry with any airline company
this is what I faced in life.
