Flight Ticket Cancellations Charges Increased To Rs. 950: Protest From Airline Customers

Indian flight companies have not kept quite by only increasing the air fare prices. They are innovating new ways to empty the wallets of flight travelers. And the first step to this plan is the increase in air flight ticket cancellation charges by Rs. 200. Spicejet, Indigo, Jet Airways and other private Indian airline companies have decided to increase the air ticket flight cancellation charges by Rs. 200 from 2nd of April. That means it will stand to Rs. 950 from Rs. 750, which was paid by the air travelers upto 1st of April 2012.
 

This decision by the private

airline companies have been heavily criticized by the normal citizens who have to fly around frequently or due to unavoidable circumstances. Already the prices of every item have soared high with increase in fuel charges that every Indian are struggling to cope up with it, and then this decision of private airlines have sprinkled salt to their wounds. The increase in flight ticket cancellation charges have put on flight queries in the minds of people. Many are thinking about other alternatives, but other alternatives to flights take time and this are the best means of quick travel.
 

But a relief is still there from The Government airlines Air India. The same flight cancellation

charges still hold for Air India and no increase in cancellation charges have been planned by this Government flight company. Air India charges Rs. 500 for flight cancellation till the remaining last hour of flight start. That means you will be able to cancel your ticket by giving away Rs. 500 to the authority upto 10 am if your flight is scheduled at 11 am. But an added Rs. 450 is there for the taking for flight ticket cancellations.
 

The decision is an amazing step by the private flight companies as most of the customers cancel their flight tickets in most unavoidable circumstances. And since alternatives to flights are also costly and time consuming, that will also stretch your wallet. Flight queries and questions by people are everywhere, that how much validity of taking so much cancellation charges are there for the private airlines beyond Government control.
 

Though some of the private airlines provide cheap flight tickets, but that is not enough in this time of financial crisis. If the Central Government and DGCA authorities do not take a proactive step towards private airline’s high flight cancellation charges, Indian normal citizens will surely be the victims of profit thinking flight companies.
