Dear Sir/Madam,
I had to face difficulty and harrasment on account of irresponsible behavior of GoAir Airlines. I had communicated with the Airlines on their feedback site. But instead of listening and addressing to the problem they are preaching their policies. I am enclosing below the communication I have had with the Airlines. It also details the problem and the response of the Airlines.

Dear Madam,
Thanks for the usual beaten reply and I was naïve enough to have thought there was any benefit of communicating with you. To bring to you your notice I am not claiming any compensation from you as you can not do that with your ‘sort of’ dummy help desk. I just wanted to fulfill the ‘feedback formality’ of this unreliable airline. You are always at liberty to chant customer service, feedback, and bla-bla and quote those policies of your company whenever there is a real need of service and there is a genuine feedback. Once on a Mumbai-Delhi trip, I have seen 100ml or so water bottle being sold in your airline and when a passenger claimed a complimentary bottle, the staff acceded. What to talk of your policies? Were those who had already purchased a bottle were mindless.
Still, just for your information, and my satisfaction, I just think how the following things are possible (whatever your policies are, which are lopsided enough, though):
1. Only Delhi-Chandigarh GoAir Flight gets cancelled, while other flights, one even from Srinagar, did go as per schedule. Surely it wasn’t the weather problem, or the GoAir staff was fancying that. Again, had it been weather, how you cancel the flight as early as 1-2 days in advance. Can you give tomorrows ‘cancellation’ schedule at this moment.
2. Delhi-Chandigarh flight was not available on previous days also.
3. I requested to the staff to give me the connecting flight from Delhi to Chandigarh on the next day, i.e, 18-12-2010. They agreed for the same but could not find the flight the next day even. This was also not a weather problem.
4. Even if it was a weather problem, they could have easily managed a taxi service for the rest of the journey.
5. Besides the weather problem, it could only be your staff going on all out strike, or some technical snag, or any other reason, but that was not evident and it could not happen for 2-3 consecutive days.
6. When you take the liberty of booking tickets months in advance, then there is also a responsibility attached with it, to make endeavors to send your passengers to their destinations, which could not be done by canceling the flights two days in advance. At the last moment how could you tell anyone to take your money back or travel only upto Delhi, knowing that at that moment the prices in other airlines would have been high.
7. I told the staff that let me fly upto Delhi, and refund the fare from Delhi to Chandigarh. I think this was a valid request. But they refused. Even a Roadways Bus, when it breakdowns in between a trip, send you in other buses, or refund you for the left over journey. I think they are smarter than your ‘Smart Airline’ and their conductors more responsible and authorized than your airport staff. Their policies too seem to be better and controlled.
8. Now, I the not so smart passenger, am left with know way out, except to keep mum and feel cheated by your smart airline. Though, I appreciate the business oriented training of your airport staff. Even at that moment of my personla agony and 'being cheated fealing, they were prompt and insensitive enough to offer me their 'smart' scheme. They offered to adjust the balance fare to be used any trip I make in 3-4 months to come. I got terrorized and refused, thinking what other problem may arise at that time, and your policies.
9. Still I do have right to know the reason for cancellation.
10. I will never recommend anyone to take go-air flight, thanks to their staff and their policies. May be others will listen me on Facebook or Twitter. I have wasted my and your time by mailing to you on your site, where there is nobody to listen.
Hope you will forward my concerns to suitable quarters.
Regards.

I booked 3 tickets for Srinagar to Chandigarh. I was told on the date of journey that connecting flight from Delh to Chandigarh is cancelled and you can travel to Delhi only. I urged the staff to arrange me some meens between Delhi and Chandigarhand at this moment I cannot change my travel plan. The staff refused. I had to spend 10000 for reaching my destination and had to bear harrassment and difficulty as I was travelling with kids and wife who is expecting a baby. This is the second tme I had faced problem with Go-Air. I am really disappointed with the airline. Whome to contact?
