        I 18f, am a student studying at Karnavati university. I had a flight at 9:40 in the morning from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad, after arriving at the baggage check at 8:45 I was told by the staff at counter 38 that baggage check closes 1 hour before and that it was my fault for not being early. It was ridiculous that they didn’t help me but I cooperated even though I was denied boarding and I was told i could take the next flight of 10:30 at the counter 25. It was extremely stupid but I still cooperated. At 8:50 I tried to book the 10:30 flight but I was told to come back at 9:40. So I waited there and went back to counter 25 at 9:40 sharp. I am a student and I didn’t have the 2500 inr extra for the ticket so there was a small delay. I was still speaking to the staff at counter 25. The delay for my payment was only a few minutes however the staff told me that they had closed the baggage check even for the 10:30 flight and it was my fault for the delay. I was literally in tears and begging to be helped but they did not help me. To make matters worse I was now not being allowed of the airport either and the next flight was at 4. So I went back to counter 38 where there were 4 women ahead of me and they had the same issue however I saw their bags being claimed at the same time. But I wasn’t helped and they only got me out of the air port. Now to take matters worse indigo’s horrible complaint and customer services were not replying and when I spent hours calling them was when they replied only to keep referring me to their ‘seniors’. I waited until 2:00 for the flight at 4:00 but I was informed there was a delay and had to wait for 1 more hour. At this point I had already been at the air port since 8:50 in the morning. I finally made it and completedy baggage check but the 4:00 flight was delayed to the point where we only got on the flight and were still sitting in the seat even at 6:50. The plane was deplaned and I could only take off at 8:40 in the evening. That’s absolutely ridiculous and the way I was treated lacks even basic humanity. I want to sue indigo for this or at least get a refund and compensation for damaged.

                Im a frequent flyer, I was late only by 5 minutes but the staff chose not to help me. But okay i understand for the 9:40 flight that it was my fault. But after that for the 10:30 flight I was told to come back at 9:40 to book the layer flight even though I wanted to do it at 8:50 only and while I was still there at the desk and making the payment I was told that they closed the baggage again. Other people having the same problem were allowed boarding and I was denied. I don’t understand how it’s my fault for being “late” even for the 2nd flight at 10:30.

                                Thankfully late passengers don’t get to fly planes

                                Guess you didn’t read the post, i accepted that I was late for the first flight, but for the second one it was the staff’s fault for not letting me book at 8:45 while I was there, making me wait till 9:40 which was the last possible moment and then closing the baggage check while my payment was in process and I was still at the counter right in front of them.

                            You were late. This isn’t the airline’s fault.

                                It is the airlines fault as the staff failed to get me on the 10:30 flight although I was at the airport since 8:45. I was not late for the 2nd flight but the staff chose to ignore me until the last possible minute which is 9:40 and closed the baggage claim in my face while I was still making the payment. Don’t see how this is my fault 😭

                                A better place to ask will be r/airtravelindia . As lawyers, sometimes we are not that aware of rules specific to aviation.
