I had planned to go to Srinagar on a holiday trip with my family and I had booked 3 tickets by Indian Airlines for 13 June from Chennai to Delhi by IC 440 with scheduled departure time of 6 40 AM. I had booked the connecting flight from Delhi to Srinagar by King Fisher Airlines with scheduled departure at 1 45 pm on the same day. After reaching the airport it was announced that the flight is delayed due to staff strike, But the staff continuously were assuring that the flight would take off shortly and finally took off at 12 40 PM and reached Delhi at 3 pm and I had missed the connecting flight of King fisher Airlines to Srinagar. I have lost Rs. 15050 due to this as the 3 tickets by King fisher were valid only for that day, More over I had to travel from Delhi to Jammu by a private bus without my dinner and sleep after so much harassment by travel agents at Delhi red fort bus stand and from Jammu to Delhi by a Sumo Jeep with my wife and daughter risking our lives. Finally I could reach Srinagar only at 11 30 pm at midnight the next day. I had to cancel the local sight seeing trips that I had already booked for 14 06 2007.
Instead of a pleasure trip it was a night mare for me and my family due to the inefficiency of Indian Airlines. Next time beware of traveling by Indian Airlines.
