Vir Das got angry on Air India even after paying lakhs

Popular comedian Vir Das recently took a flight with his wife Shivani. They had come on Air India flight to Delhi. They had also booked a wheelchair service as a facility considering Shivani's leg fracture, but they did not receive this facility while in the flight. They also managed to get a seat on the flight in a manner that the entire travel experience was spoiled. This comedian has erupted on Air India. He questioned by sharing a social media post.

Vir Das had this experience during the journey from Mumbai to Delhi by flight AI816. The comedian told that two tickets of his wife and him were booked for about one lakh rupees. But, during the air travel, they got broken table, useless leg-rest. Veer Das has shared a post from his ex-account (formerly Twitter). It reads, 'Dear airindia Please reclaim your wheelchair. I’m a lifetime loyalist. I believe you’ve got the nicest cabin crew in the sky, this post pains me to write. My wife and I book Pranaam and a wheelchair because she’s got a foot fracture that’s still healing. We’re flying to delhi. 50grand a seat. Broken table, broken leg rests, her seat is stuck reclined, won’t straighten fully.'

Veer Das further wrote, 'Were told the flight is ‘newly refurbished’. Two hours late, we get off in delhi and we’re told it’s a stepladder. Again wheelchair and encalm pre-booked. I ask the air hostesses at the front of the plane to assist my wife while I carry four bags. Silence and a clueless look at each other. We step off the plane to the top of the ladder. I ask an air India male ground staff member to help us, looks at me, shrugs, and Ignore’s me. My wife with a fracture makes it down the stepladder. I tell an Air India staff member at the bottom near the buses what happened. He says “sir kya Karein…sorry”.'

Veer Das further wrote, 'We get to the terminal, encalm people inform wheelchair staff that we had pre booked a chair. He’s clueless. There’s wheelchairs everywhere. No staff because the flight is late. I grab a chair and wheel her to baggage claim, then out of the airport to the parking. Encalm lets air India know this is happening. No one shows. Anyway. One of your wheelchairs is on the second floor of the parking in Delhi. Do claim it.' Veer Das said that till the end no one came to help him.

Air India has expressed sympathy by commenting on this post of Veer Das. Also asked for booking details. The comedian has shared the booking details. Also wrote, 'Take your wheelchair back, bro'. Users are supporting Veer Das on his experience and are questioning the service of Air India. One user wrote, 'It is better for a person to walk than to travel by Air India'. Another user wrote, 'Sensible people should never travel by Air India'.
