Just recently I was praising Kingfisher Airlines for its service. Today I was waiting for 10 mins in queue before check in at King Fisher counter I was asked to move to Air Deccan as the flight was actually not Kingfisher. I was confused, how come a flight that is coded IT can be Air Deccan. They explained me it was code sharing and it was actually Air Deccan. Why do they really want to do that? I checked with one of the KF employees there. ‘Sir, Its our company policy. I cannot do anything with that.’, was the reply I got. I remember during 2006 I had an hour argument in Kolkata Airport for a no show that was not my mistake. I finally did achieve what I needed, my money back. When I feel I am right I never bother to do something to get justice. This time it was a bit tricky for I was not sure if I was right.
Then I waited in the Air Deccan counter. I remember in 2005 when I first ventured an Air Deccan flight. It was in the Assam region a 1 stop flight. The flight was first rescheduled 3 hrs later. Suddenly in 10 mins the flight was schedule on time. We were surprised. When we enquired at the counter there was one more surprise for us, the flight was canceled. Then suddenly a manager came in saw our boarding card and asked us to clear the security check as the flight was on time. It seemed like the the 1 stop flight was changed to non stop flight. Even after clearing the security check and boarding the flight half of the passengers were sent back as the flight was canceled. We confused passengers were then taken to the flight. There was a half hour quarrel between two pilots on which flight to be flown to destination. One of the passenger was joking on the events that were happening. All the passengers were laughing and enjoying his jokes rather than getting annoyed of the situation.
Waiting in the check in queue thinking about this incident, I was asked to get out of the queue as my flight has yet commenced boarding. I got furious and called the KF manager. So there she replied ‘Sorry Sir we don’t fly to Ahmedabad, please contact Air Deccan ‘. I saw an Old man waiting in an other queue. His case was worst. Waiting in Air Deccan queue for more than 45 minutes he was sent to an other queue as he was in the wrong queue.
I am thinking why these things happen to me. Thank you God for making my life interesting and having something to write in my blog today 🙂
