Always remember it's a joke, unless you agree with me. And I know there are people like me out there.

Today, I was traveling from Ghaziabad to Meerut on the Saharanpur MEMU train, in a general coach, and what I saw… I’m still trying to process. Someone literally pooped in the middle of the coach! Yes, you read that right—legit poop just sitting there. And the smell? Let’s just say it was enough to make your eyes water and question every life decision that led you to that moment.

I know it’s a general coach, but come on… this is next level. How are we still dealing with this level of sanitation (or lack thereof) on our trains in 2024?

My father was added to a WP group where the scammers manipulated him into putting in xx lakhs into their fraudulent schemes. They made him transfer that money in parts to a few different people. It then showed my dad has made a profit. When my dad asked for the money withdrawal, they asked him to submit xx lakh ( same as the original amount) again and then they will send him all his profit. He did not do it but we are still in loss of xx lakh . The WP group is still active and posting regularly. The transfer was made through online Banking from a debit account. What can we do now?

To the extent that I created a sub called r/airindiasucks

Me ans My 72 year old mum checked in from Bhopal to Toronto via Delhi. The check-in staff gave her a boarding pass, and she boarded the flight at 8 am from Bhopal to Delhi.

At Delhi, the transfer desk said, " There is some issue with her new passport, and she has to go 2nd floor on supervisor desk." Now she had wheel chair assistance from here on so the staff took her there.

The lady at the D 2 ( second floor D row) said, " She is okay to board, she has boarding pass, seat assignment ", to which the wheel chair staff said " then why did u guys made me come the long way? "

The lady at the supervisor desk said, " Folks at the transfer desk are known to be difficult, have a safe flight."

I asked her specifically if everything was okay, and she said, "Don't worry."

She cleared immigration and waited for 5 hours before the boarding began. She was denied boarding!!!!

The gate staff said, " Your old visa on your old passport is not linked to your new passport, and the Canadian embassy server is down, so we can't call anyone to link it. Also, considering the plane leaves in 30 min, we don't have time to try anything. "

I said to them she flies there often. She has her old passport that has the visa. You can see it's a valid visa. You can see the stamps on her passport that she had traveled before.

They said we understand what you are saying, but the computer said she can't board, so we can't let her.

She has to go back unclear immigration, take her luggage, go back to the reservation desk, and re book your flight.

It will take 4 hours to do so, then restart.

I asked them to send a staff member guiding me to which they said some other person from some other gate will assist and this is end of our shift.

The other person at the other gate helped us go through the process and dropped us at the reservation desk.

The reservation desk said the Canadian immigration system is down, and we can't link, so let's wait until the server is up. Why don't you go and find Air India ticket counter and ask them if there are seats available and whether u can be booked on a different flight.

I went to ticking the counter and asked them, and they said that I would have to rebook and it's going to be a fresh ticket and that you owe us full price.

I lost it. I screamed as much as I could and the ticker counter said that there is nothing they can do...I should talk to someone else, then I went and spoke that other person who sent me back to tick counter.

Keep in mind that I had to drag my mother and my bags with me because I don't have a new ticket and my old ticket is void, so no wheeler assistance provided.

After coming to the ticket counter and screaming session, they're asked me to wait. While we are waiting we could not leave the airport because we don't have a ticket to come back.

While we were going through all this, none of the airline staff offered us water, any compassion, or any polite words.

We did everything right, followed instructions, followed rules, why a passenger has to pay more for this?

After relentless argument, Air india decided to book us free of charge, and with luck, canada immigration website was online as well.

Once we landed in Canada, I asked immigration system, and they said there would be absolutely no issue if u had boarded your original flight.

The airline did nothing to make our experience any better. They argued with us to make it worse with no apologies, food, or water.

The ground staff at Delhi Airport for Air India is filled with non empathetic humans who treat passengers like animals.

Never again air india!!
