Let me just say it - Air Travel is becoming a mess.

What was once a joyful experience is now becoming a dread.

Unfortunately consumers have no say in it. We're at the behest of a crazily one sided ecosystem.

For a 9 am flight, one's day roughly starts at 5 am and by the time they reach any destination it's past noon at least. Not to mention the crazy mafia of cabbies or the ordeal to get out of the airport post landing.

This 8 hour ordeal is filled with a long journey to the airport, navigating through multiple ID checks, multiple bag screenings, security checks and no real assistance from the staff who only look at everyone as if they're doing them a favour.

This, is assuming the flight is on time and all goes well.

Now God Forbid, If your flight is delayed, your problems have begun to compound. You are now going to get sucked into the quicksand of an apathetic ecosystem.

No clear communication by the staff, no empathy or aid to passengers who may either be old, unwell, travelling for a happy family occasion, a bereavement or even an all important work commitment.

Why is this lopsided?
- If you get to the airport even marginally after their long cut-off time, you aren't allowed to fly. But they can continue to delay flights without any intimation.

- If your bag is even marginally heavier, they won't let it in without charging you. But, if you're carrying just a handbag on a full flight they'll bully you into checking that in, because "no space"

- If you carry a bottle of a beverage, it’s considered a security threat. If they sell the same bottle at 5X the price, it’s convenience.

- They can keep you on a stationery plane without air conditioning, food or even the freedom to use a lavatory. But the minute you show any frustration, they may take strict security action against you and perhaps even make you ineligible for flying.

- You're at the mercy of an airline where gate changes, flight changes, aerobridge and bus changes are frequent and random. But if you miss any of these announcements it's your fault because we told you its a Silent Airport.

- You have to book tickets and pay in full immediately, that’s fair. But they will return the money only in 7 working days after deducting crazy cancellation charges of your initial amount. In a lot of cases, any refund is given through discount vouchers and subject to terms and conditions.

The worst part however is, no one knows a way out of this! Demand-Supply-Cost-Infra-Rules-Regulations-Safety-Security are all important and must be adhered to. Everyone's equally helpless.

The only solution – Airlines - please, please, please – train your staff to be more empathetic, helpful and respectful to passengers and ensure the processes are all customer focused and not just cost focused. What's a process, can't be changed. But what can, is the experience you provide.

Not sure if this will even make a difference to anyone, but that’s all one can do as a customer without much choice, right? Make a suggestion or voice a rant.

An airline isn’t just about stuffing people in a metal tube and transporting them. It’s about connecting people to their loved ones. Parents meeting children in different cities, a couple celebrating a milestone occasion, a family having worked very hard to save up for this trip. It’s a celebration of one of mankind’s greatest inventions.

@AbijitG This is so bang on!

[Deeksha Janiani @Deejaniani]

The lack of empathy for human suffering in India gets highlighted in every other instance. Only when corporates have such hollow hearts can they pull-off disruptions of this magnitude and that too on-purpose! Classic case of abuse of monopoly power!

[Sachchidanand Shukla @shuklasach]

Complete apathy & insensitivity towards travellers, by @IndiGo6E, a near monopoly, many of whom were delayed by >5 hrs w/o proper info. Shocking display of arrogance, lack of professionalism, preparedness & disregard of regulatory notifications over the last 2-3 days by
#Indigo

[Deeksha Janiani @Deejaniani]

@blitzkreigm @IndiGo6E Its all an intentional act!

[Abijit Ganguly @AbijitG]

Anyone with basic brains can figure out what Indigo did was very intentional. This was not sudden disruption, this was almost a planned strike to strongarm the government into giving it what it wants. What people went through doesn't matter to them, it's just collateral damage. And the fact that govt let this happen is on them. The fact that we essentially have monopolistic/duopolistic situations in so many major sectors is on this Government. But what to do, let's look for ways to blame RaGa on this too.

[Deeksha Janiani @Deejaniani]

I had hunch today that this disruption was done on purpose! And the resulting relaxation solidifies my theory. IndiGo flexed its dominant power in these past couple of days!

Literally every street in Mumbai is dug-up due to construction work. I hope BMC has a plan in place to make BOM like NYC, otherwise all this is just a grand mess!

Once upon a time trains got delayed, but flights were on time. Today it feels like the opposite!

@jammypants4 I absolutely loved it as a child.

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

Like if you've not watched even a single match in this Asia Cup and also not planning to watch today's India Pakistan final because I already like you.

[Jitesh @Chaotic_mind99]

Just 4 months after the Pahalgam attack those organised cricket matches with Pakistan are true patriots.

But Sonam Wangchuk, who built solar tents to protect the Indian Army from Ladakh’s cold is a traitor.

Let that sink in.

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

Kapil Mishra was caught live on camera instigated riots,

Today he is a minister in Delhi BJP Govt.

Anurag Thakur was caught live on Camera asking people to Shoot other people.

Today he is a union minister in Modi Govt.

But Sonam Wangchuk is in Jail for literally nothing.

This is new India.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

If you’re still boycotting the India Pakistan match at the Asia Cup, you’re probably among the rare few, less than 1%, actually standing by your principles. Hats off to you.

To those who are watching, it’s okay; when the govt and BCCI doesn’t care, it’s fine if you don’t either.

[Deeksha Janiani @Deejaniani]

I really don't get where our nationalism goes when it comes to cricket. Why are we still playing them? I guess the money trumps everything!
