Kuwait Airways No refund given on refundable ticket

I booked my ticket on Clear Trip from Doha to Mumbai return via Kuwait Airways and the ticket was refundable at the time of booking. Recently I cancelled my booking due to current situation of Corona and was expecting some amount in refund but I got zero which is not fair. By the way, what is the cancellation fees for Kuwait Airways?

Airline charged me QAR 1045 cancellation charge, then what is the meaning of refundable? This is the first time I booked ticket with Kuwait Airways and will never do it again.

Good lesson.

Kuwait Airways damaged baggage

Hi, I flew from BLR to LHR (terminal 4) yesterday (11/01/2020). On receiving my baggage, I noticed the left wheel missing from my hold luggage. I was very disappointed as I was unable to wheel my suitcase at all. It had to be carried while we walked which was very inconvenient. Obviously, it cannot be used again as it is that damaged. You will be able to notice the damage clearly in the pictures. Attached are pictures of the damaged suitcase along with my ticket. Please do let me know of the procedure one needs to follow in this case? Thank you, Michelle.

Kuwait Airways rude behaviour, mental harassment, bad customer service

Yesterday i got a bad experience from kuwait airways staff, it happened in kuwait international airport terminal 4. Yesterday my mother is travelling to india from kuwait, for departure baggage check in, i proceed to check in counter no: 33. Mr. Nawaf cargo officer attended me. He asked what is inside the baggage, i replied clothes, that time he scolded me, and said not you, your mother have to give the answer. I said she doesnt know english thats why i gave the answer. Mr. Nawaf told me to open my moms baggage and told to remove shampoo& detergent solution, he said as per kuwait airways rules its not allowed in check in baggage. Last 6 years i am travelling in kuwait airways, i didnt heared this rule, i told this to him. He said if i argue with him, he will cancell my moms ticket. He behaved rudly to me. At last i have to obey him, because of his ego. I removed shampoo& detergent solution. After that i approched to kuwait airways floor manger, he said this item are allowed in check in baggage, i said i want to report this incident. They didnt take any action, they simply told me to email one complaint to kuwait airways. I insulted and mentaly harassed from kuwait airways. I send a complaint mail to kuwait airways, explained all this things, till now i didnt get any reply messages from kuwait airways. Worst experience from kuwait airways. Very bad customer service.
Incident happened- in kuwait aiways terminal 4, departure counter 33
Staff name- Nawaf
Date- 24/11/2019
Time- around 9pm- 9.30pm
Flight number-KU 351

Kuwait Airways they did not allow me to check in

My return flight to Doha from JFK was on 1st November 2019 flight number KU118. Unfortunately, my wallet was lost the day before which contain my Qatari ID. I called Qatar embassy in Washington and they told me that I can take my flight by my passport and at doha international airport they will reissue a new ID.
I went to JFK 2 hours before my flight, but the Kuwait airways' clerks did not allow me to check in as I don't have my original Qatari ID. I explained to them in detail that it is lost and I showed them a valid soft copy of my qatari ID and the JFK report for lost wallet and I told them what the Qatar embassy said, but they insist not to allow me to check in. Now I lost my flight back to doha, my work was postponed, and I did a new reservation with so expensive price with Qatar airways and they accept to let me check in after I explaind to them the above mentioned. I arrived at Doha and the officers there check my data through my passport then allowed me to enter the country and to reissue my ID from inside.
Now who will compensate me for my losses. Your employees should be flexible and open mind. I am so disappointed.

Kuwait Airways delayed flight from london heathrow to colombo, sri lanka

My name is Nagalingam Nadarajah Rajanayagam.
My Kuwait Airways.Oasis Club Membership no is [protected]. I travelled from Heathrow airport to Sri Lanka on 4th May 2019 by flight KU0102. My E-ticket number was [protected]. I had a connection flight KU0363 from Kuwait at 02:00 hours on 5th May to Colombo

Flight from London was delayed by about three hours. When I arrived at the Kuwait airport we were not told that our connection flight to Sri Lanka had already left. We were taken to a local airport and were put on Oman airways to Oman and then from Oman to Sri Lanka by Oman airways.

My arrival time at Colombo airport was more than five (5) latter than scheduled including all the flight delays. When I arrived at Colombo-Bandaranaike airport I missed arranged transport to Jaffna, an eight hours of travel by road. I had to stay at one of the Negombo (near the airport) hotels that day on the 5th May before I headed to Jaffna the following morning. Because of this delay I missed my business appointment but luckily I did not loose my business as a result.

Considering all the difficulties I had gone through I would appreciate if you could offer appropriate compensation.

Many thanks and regards,
Rajanayagam

Kuwait Airways damaged luggage reference # 3234/ss

Flight: [24th May 2019 KU675—KU118 AND 14TH June 2019 KU117 -KU678]

I traveled from [24th May 2019 and returned on June 14th, 2019.
My travel was all the way sound and fine. When I collected my luggage after arrival, I found one of my suitcases was damaged so badly. The top body of the suitcase from the corner is completely broken in pieces and it is unrepairable. I had sent so many emails about it I only got the ref. reference # 3234/SS afterward there is no reply from customer service despite sending so many reminders but there is no response at all.

I am completely dissatisfied with your service. You must ensure the check and balance on the services you are providing. I suffered from a loss of $ 150. I require compensation for this loss.

Please find attached damaged luggage pictures.

Appreciate your prompt reply on this request to resolve this matter

Kuwait Airways flight reschedule

I have booked and confirmed my flight in 9-jun-2019 (ref flight number : KU561), and just today i received email notification of my flight re-scheduled with a new flight that i will be waiting at air port for 6.5 hours, when my original flight was to wait 45 minutes.

it's transit flight from DEL-KWI then KWI-AMM.

initially i took positively and started looking another flight on my own and pay a new ticket, then while searching. i found the original flight available with 6 seats. and that is against the consumer rights and very shameful behavior from the air liens.
