Air Deccan horror story
There is a horror story about AD I've heard, one that beats the crap out of every other on the 'too weird to be false' scale. However, I've been unable to find anything online to corroborate the story. Can someone help me find out if there is some truth to it?

The abbreviated story goes something like this - An AD flight from Delhi to Chennai via Hyderabad had 30 odd passengers booked to Hyd. and rest all booked to Chennai. As always the flight was delayed multiple times and eventually left many hours late. A particularly pissed, and clearly gifted, group of passengers somehow convinced the pilot to - fancy this - skip Hyderabad and fly direct to Chennai. Imagine the surprise of the equally pissed group of 30 blokes who were expecting to get off at Hyd., when they heard they had reached Chennai.

Now, the story does not end there. It just gets weirder. The bunch of 30 really pissed and determined passengers decide they will not get off the flight - they figured they'll just hop off the plane at Hyd. on its way back to Delhi. There were 100 chaps lined up outside the gate at Chennai waiting to go to Delhi. Imagine the surprise of the last 30 folks when they walk in to a packed airplane. It is not known if they were accomodated in 'standing' class...

Hi!
My husband & i have had extremely bad and frustrating time with Air Deccan. We had booked Chn-Hyd-(del) flight during one winter. We were all set to board the flight the next day morning at 6. We get a phone call at midnight from some vague security person at the airport saying that the flight has been cancelled and ticket money will be refunded. Who wants the money to be refunded??? all we wanted was them to accommodate us in the next flight to hyd. Well...we try frantically to trace the airport manager incharge of airdeccan..we scream, fight, cry and plead while all attempts went futile:( We stopped flying Air Deccan from then on. Lost Cost airline do take the passengers for granted.

Yeah, take for granted they do. The nastiest part about AD is they are not really "low cost" if you are forced to buy close to your journey date... They should really be called "Cheap Service" airlines...

and oh, btw, who might you be, Anonymous Reader?
