Subject: KENYA AIRWAYS / CLEARTRIP - HORRIBLE TRAVEL & REFUND EXPERIENCE. WHY IS THE AIRLINE SO IGNORANT?
Dear Kenya Airways and Clear Trip Team,
Please note my concern below.
I booked a return flight ticket with Kenya Airways - 07th Oct to 16th Nov
Mumbai-Mogadishu-Mumbai
The First Leg of the flight from Mumbai to Nairobi was delayed by Kenya Airways. The flight was scheduled for 07th October at 2:40 am, but they were delayed by an hour to take off approximately. Hence I missed my connecting flight at 07:45 am on 07 Oct from Nairobi to Mogadishu. So I could not accept the rescheduled ticket after two days on 09th Oct, even Ethiopian Airlines from Nairobi to Addis was full for 07th Oct evening.
What should I do? The KQ Airlines airport staff is not very customer friendly, they care less. Maybe they have got used to this delay and flight miss situation now.
I have work to attend to. Hence I made my booking on Premier Airlines for the same afternoon.
Please issue me a refund for this sector back to my original payment method.
Important to note: I have a return on the 16 Nov from Mogadishu to Mumbai, so please keep that booking active or reissue it so that I am not stranded on my return journey.
This is not a very pleasant experience with Kenya Airways.
I have attached the flight tickets as well as the Boarding Pass and the New flight purchased from NBO to MGQ on 07th Oct(Premier Airlines)
When will I receive my refund? Please advise for the following sectors:
NBO - MGQ(07th Oct) and MGQ to MUM) Sector -(16th Nov.)
Please respond to me by this email as I am currently in Somalia and due to return on 16th Nov.
But, now: the Kenyan Airways has provided me with a paltry refund inspite of taking the full return fare, delaying the airline, and then, cancelling the return by themselves.
I am seeking a full refund of ₹76, 412.00 for this ticket.
