Yesterday it was Mumbai — I was stuck in... the airport for six miserable hours as my IndiGo flight was almost cancelled. After endless confusion, I finally managed to board at 5:30 PM. Today, it’s chaos in Bengaluru, Pune, and several other airports with hundreds of flights cancelled. The biggest problem isn’t just the cancellations — it’s the complete lack of clear communication. Airlines don’t specify whether a flight is delayed, cancelled, or still uncertain. And if a flight is cancelled, retrieving your luggage is a nightmare. Even if you want to cancel voluntarily due to delays, getting your bags back becomes an even bigger ordeal. IndiGoshow more
