On March 24, Ashik had booked a ticket Bengaluru-Mangaluru flight ticket for March 27. When he reached the airport on scheduled time, he came to know by one of the airline staff about the cancellation of the flight.

Dear Monika and Zubair,
Why do you ignore this case.

Whatever be the reason, still they are liable as per their own terms and conditions of ticket.
Taking easy will cause them to be more ignorant in the future.

Everyone will have their own implication and consequential losses.

It is not a silly matter. It is a serious matter. These days we have sms, whatsapp, email or mobile, they can use any means to inform passengers . It is clear negligence of the Airlines. They should learn the lesson, if not we have to teach them a lesson.
If a passenger is late for just 10 minutes, they will straight away refuse to issue boarding pass.
Well done brother.
