Etihad Airways double charge for excess baggage

Dear Sir or Madam
Attachd please find all supporting documents
* I booked a flight on Etihad Airlines from Boston, USA to Khartoum, Sudan departing on May 01, 2018, my sheduled itinerary was as follows:
- Boston to Washington Dulles (JetBlue Airlines) Flight No. 357 - May 01, 2018
- Washington Dulles to Abu Dhabi, UAE
- Abu Dhabi, UAE to Khatoum, Sudan (Final destination)

* Upon checking in at Boston Airport, I asked for my luggage to be checked in to my final destination (Khatoum, Sudan) to avoid further check in needs
* I paid $320 fees for excess luggage
* All went well until I arrived to Abu Dhabi, UAE where my layover was almost 15 hours (14:55). I went to the Etihad transit counter to enquire about rest services as the flight was already long and so aws the layover. I was shocked when I was informed that my luggage was checked in only to Abu Dhabi, UAE and that I was responsible for collecting it and re-checking in it for my final sector. I was expecting a voucher for a hotel room and meals from Etihad to a passenger with an itinerary of close to 40 hrs.
* Since I am a US Citizen I was allowed to enter the UAE without priorly secured visa.
* I collected my luggage and when I went to the Etihad counter, I was told that they would not accept check in until only 4 hours before scheduled take off time (12 hours from then)
* That meant I could not get any rest becuase all of my luggage was with me. Very rude treatment of an Etihad passenger who had started his journey with you almost two full days before then.
* 4 hours before scheduled departure time I went to check in my luggage and I was shocked again when I was informed that I had to pay $450 for excess luggage.I tried to explain that fact that I already paid for excess luggage (I presented my payment receipt) and that this was not my fault and I did not have to pay for the mistake of your staff in Boston. Unfortunately your Abu Dhabi staff rudely told to me to pay if I wanted to proceed with my flight, and that was a clear threat and taking advantage of a passenger who was in a foreign country with no affiliation to that place.
* Your counter staff directed me to speak with a supervisor. Unfortunately, the rudeness continued and the suprevisor again threatened to refuse to accept my luggage without payment of $450. This was a highly unexpected behavior from a supervisor who was supposed to have been trained to understand the process of cheching in through different stations.
- The supervisor agreed that this was a clear mistake by JetBlue check in staff and that he refused to accept reponsibilities for that mistake and he shifted that responsibility to me the passenger.
- Please remember I did not buy my ticket from JetBlue. I bought my ticket from Etihad Airline. How could I be reponsible for the mistake of an entity that I never contracted with. My contract was with Etihad Airline.
* Please check my complaint and refund my funds as this is the least I expect from a luxury airliner like Etihad.

Sincerely yours,

Mustafa Garafi Mahmoud

Etihad Airways excess baggage payment - extra cash

Myself Girish Ramankutty had travelled on 30 April 2018 Delhi to Abu Dhabi EY 229.

Since we had excess baggage we had paid a total of 160000 using 3 different cards.

The card machine wasn't working properly and it had taken extra 30000 I had not received a transaction failed receipt not and debit receipt.

The person at the counter told me that the payment did not happen. Ended up paying 190000 for a bill of 160000.

I would like a refund for the same.

The 30000 was made using an axis bank debit card no. [protected]. Kindly do the needful.

Since I flew out of country I just noticed that the amount has been debited.

Attaching the bills and receipts of payment done.

Etihad Airways off boarded from flight as the flight was overbooked by etihad airways

On 4th may 2018, I Ritesh Khandelwal(booking reference - WO2N5V) and Vipul Thakur (ZWKFNG), went to the airport Etihad in Abu dhabi 3 hours before my flight EY 218 with ETD at 10:15 pm.
I had my ticket Booked 15 days in advance.First they shifted gate from Terminal 3 to 1. Later When I went to to give my baggage, the staff told me that the flight is overbooked, and no choice that I need to wait an other flight which was at 3:20 am on 5th May morning.

Regarding the law IATA, the customer need to be compensated and put to ease of airways hospitality.

Ground staff Mr. Sajeesh, Mr. Izziddin is very uncooperative and are saying that it's your fault that you did not do an online check in and legally flight is allowed to overbook.
As a matter of fact online checkin was not applicable as it's was a group booking of more than 50 colleagues 😊 by my company travel agent.

it's an 8 hours of waiting...Gosh it's a one day work shift time !
Not even offering a hotel stay or lounge access.Answer a big NO 😞

Regarding the law IATA, the customer need to be compensated for the situation. In the other case I am going to complain to the GCAA ( General Civil Aviation Authority) and will explain all the situation with all details.
On this they told that pls take a voucher to be used only on Etihad and not cash.
Why any sane customer will book on Etihad after such harassment and bad experience.

Etihad Airways delayed flight ey017 on 28th april

Hello Eithad Airways,

I (Meenakshi Manglani) and my daughter (aged 7 years) had travelled from Hyderabad to London (via Abu Dabhi) by Eithad Airways on 28th April 2018.

Your flight's EY17 from Abu Dabhi to London arrival to Heathrow Airpot London was delayed by 2 hrs and 30 minutes & landed in Heathrow Airport at 9:15PM instead of 6:45 PM. I had connecting bus tickets from Heathrow Airport to Bristol with departure time as 9PM & we missed the bus due to delay in your flight EY 17. The National Bus Service do not refund the money as it was case of non-appearance. I had to book the cab from Heathrow to Bristol (since 9 PM is the last bus service from London to Bristol) to reach my home which cost me additional £223

I would therefore request you to please make it possible to reimburse £ 346 which I ended up paying due to delay in your flight service EY 17. I hope to receive the compensation amount at the earliest. I will await your response within next 24 hours before proceeding with other legal options.

Attached - Boarding pass of Wife (Meenakshi Manglani) and Daughter (Priyanka Manglani)

Thanks

Secondly, on 12/04 when I received the bag it was completely damaged. Handle wheel material everything broken in the suitcase. All luggage inside was in pieces, liquid bottles broken, all my clothes are soaked in oil and all food packets were broken and mixed with each other. The bag was completely ripped. All gifts everything I bought was in pieces.

Please can I claim compensation for this loss.

Thanks

Etihad Airways serious mistreatment by etihad staff of elderly passenger at check-in

Dear Etihad Customer Service Team,

I am writing on behalf of my mother, Mahmooda Raza, who had a very poor and disappointing experience on her recent trip from Karachi to Abu Dhabi. My mother is elderly and suffers from chronic illnesses, including stage 3 cancer and other conditions. On she arrived at Karachi airport several hours before the flight and before the check-in counter opened. Once the counter opened she was one of the first people to check in and this is when she encountered two extremely rude and unprofessional staff, Zara Hussain and Ibn Hassan.

My mother was travelling with 2 pieces of checked baggage and one cabin suitcase. This is the exact same luggage which she checked in at NY-JFK on April 19th, which is her origin airport and final destination).

When she went to check in she was told she was only permitted to check ONE bag and would need to pay for a second bag. The reason the staff provided was that, my mother did not have a return ticket to JFK. This was not true. My mother did have a confirmed return ticket. Please see attached. The staff insisted that without evidence of the ticket provided by my mother there was no choice but to pay for the extra luggage piece. My mother respectfully asked for assistance to search the system for the confirmed ticket or to call her daughter in AD or her son in the USA who had booked the ticket, but the staff displayed no effort to assist whatsoever. During the conversation they were rude, aggressive, and she felt harassed, tauntd and that they were discriminating against her either in the basis of her age (74 years) or nationality (USA).

After this, my mother stepped away from the counter to rearrange luggage between different pieces in order to reduce the weight of the second bag she was told she now had no choice but to pay 4, 646 Pakistani Rupees. While she was rearranging her luggage Etihad staff stood around her and watched. The Karachi airport porter who was assisting my mother remained with her and provided more assistance and was more respectful than any Etihad staff. He also observed and told my mother that while she was rearranging luggage the Etihad staff were watching her and he had seen enough to know these individuals would not leave her alone.

When my mom returned to the counter the staff were even more rude. She payed the fee, was given her boarding pass and proceeded to Immigration.

Shortly thereafter, while waiting in the Immigration line, Ibn Hassan the appeared and demanded that they needed to weigh her cabin luggage and that she may need to check that bag and pay additional fees. My mother insisted that she needed all of these items including medications for her illnesses and to please allow her to proceed noting the hundreds of people who were standing in the Immigration line who were not being bullied into step out of line and return to their respective check-in counters to have cabin luggage weighed. Zara Hussain threatened to deboard her from the plane if she did not step out of the Immigration line. Eventually my mother felt she had no choice and was then told she had to pay 31, 362 Pakistani Rupees (which she ultimately paid, see attached receipt) to proceed. Zara Hussain demanded my mothers boarding pass and when she took it she said out loud and in a taunting manner "I got it!" to her colleagues. She then ripped my mothers boarding pass in the presence of her colleagues and other passengers.

This was extremely humiliating and stress inducing for my mother. The experience caused her to feel accute anxiety and she fell very ill. She was unable to walk and ultimately Karachi Airport staff (not Etihad staff) found a wheelchair and escorted her to the gate. At the gate Zara Hussain was also checking boarding passes and was laughing and making gestures toward my mother.

Upon arrival in Abu Dhabi my mother was still very distraught and anxious. Fortunately my husband, Dr. Jamal Hussain, is an Emergency Medicine consultant at SKMC and was able to observe her. Upon opening her luggage we also realized that my mother had lost necessary prescription medicine and her jewlery.

My mother has never encountered such an experience with Etihad nor has anyone in our family. Both my husband and I, our children, and our parents have been travelling via Etihad since 2008. We have also maintained Gold status for a number of years and travel mutliple times a year on Etihad for both leisure and work.

We do not expect elderly members of our family or anyone to be treated in this matter. In our view what happened with my mother was unacceptable and we hope this will will be promptly investigated by Etihad with appropriate action taken towards the staff immediately. Provided she is fully recovered my mother is expected to travel back to NY-JFK in less than a week. We are very concerned that she arrives back home safely.

Thank you and look forward to a response.

Kind regards,
Erum Raza

You are a very bad company .As goodwill goes there is none for your company .The evidence that you used was only one sided at that was only what Etihad believed and no further investigation .No evidence has been given regarding the weight, as I have stated I only had 52.5 kg when I left Rhodes with Aegean how come you say there was 84 ..No evidence of this has been forwarded to me or any other department that has investigated, why what are you hiding .Send the report from Athens .
If and when you do this I will stop . Only when you prove to me that the weight of the total bags was actually 84, do remember that your employees showed me 4 extra suitcases that were not mine, so please provide the evidence that they werr all mine and not someone else's
Thanks Perry Hatzipapas

Etihad Airways ground staff through security disgusting

It is with regret again I am writing of a bad experience with etihad at Abu Dhabi airport during a connecting flight.

The only airport I have been through they make you scan your bags through security again, removing my belt, laptop, bracelette, watch whilst being rushed through. I beeped walking through the security barrier and was taken into a room, but this time my stuff had gone through security and my bags were left unattended or watched by the 4 security guards stood in the 10m vicinity of THAT security gate. As a consequence my watch was stolen, a watch that was given to me as a birthday present. I hung around the security for 30 minutes to see if it arose, to all of which 4 of the guards stood around laughing to themselves and glancing at me whilst another guard actually attempted to look for my watch.

I attempted to go to the flight desk, where my boarding pass was printed and once asking regarding lost and found or to make a complaint I was greeted with "there's nothing we can do".

I'm actually disgusted with this service, on my departing flight from MAN - AUH then AUH - BNE I was charged £138 to take hand luggage as they do not accept normal sized hand luggage! knwiung thwy wouldn't accept a normal hand luggage one route from BNE back to MAN via AUH on Etihad Airways I purchased a smaller hand luggage bag..in total now the watch has been stolen/lost due to etihads negligence I am now over £500 our of pocket through this whole experience.

I'm absolutely distraught and disgusted throughout my time with this airline.

Etihad Airways about my flight itinerary #[protected]

My flight from abu dhabi to delhi was scheduled for 8:10 am and my flight from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi was delayed by 2 hours due to which they did not let me in the flight from abu dabhi to Delhi because the boarding had closed by then.
This was clearly not my fault because the flight from Melbourne started late. Why should i suffer this irresponsoble behaviour of your airlines. This was clearly not expected from Etihad Airways.

I missed my further bookings from New delhi to ferozepur because of this delay and i had to suffer another loss of my train ticket because clearly i was not able to catch that train at 4:30 pm.

Can you please explain me this irresponsible behaviour of your airlines and i am being in the loss from everywhere. Why should i even bear this loss.

Furthermore, mu baggage did not reach at Delhi airport due to which i again had to face problems. My baggage has still not reached me. I am following up with new Delhi officials for this.

This flight was clearly a harassment for me.

Let me know what etihad can do in this case

Etihad Airways flight cancellation / poor service

Good Day. It's in accordance with my last flight in Etihad with flight details:
EY 423 25FEB MNL-AUH 2255 0419 26FEB
EY161 26FEB AUH-DFW 0920 1550
AA 262 26FEB DFW-MIA 1835 2226
UP 104 27FEB FLL-FPO 1240 120P
It gave me so much disappointment and inconveniences. Because first, originally I was about to depart in Manila in flight EY 0423. But it was cancelled, and so my connecting flights were also affected. Second, I am an Overseas Filipino Worker, and I am leaving for work with a lot of documents. And due to my flight cancellations, those documents need to be changed also stating my new flight details. Your people in the airport wanted me to provide on my own my new Letter of Guarantee. Which is quite impossible on my part, because I'm at the airport already and I don't have any means of providing it. I have to make them realize it first before they helped or assisted me. And besides, it's your fault that I didn't get through my original flight. Third, when I reached my connecting flight with American Airlines, upon boarding, there's already a miscommunication when it comes to seat assignment. And when I thought I'm already settled in my assigned seat, all of a sudden the attendant asked me to leave the plane and said I will be boarding on the next scheduled flight. Not knowing, the reason behind, I was just obliged to leave and wait for the next flight. These are all the inconveniences that I experienced with my last flight in your airlines. Not to mention the long hours of layover. It's so important to me to have a very convenient voyage every time I am going back to work overseas because it's a hard work that I'm facing for the next months. And yet I have experienced this hard time already upon leaving.
I am writing this to call your attention that you gave a not so pleasing experience with your passenger. And it shouldn't be that way supposedly. Thank you for your time on reading this.
