I along with my wife check in at around 8am.we were told that flight will fly as per schedule .so we also got security check and waiting for boarding the flight,but just before the boarding time we were told that it is delayed by one hour.we had no option but to wait for the boarding for the flight but we were surprised that even after one hour delay the boarding for flight was not announced. Since we already had gone through the security check we were not allowed to go out,rightly so for security reason,and no Air India official were present there to explain us when the flight will take off from Srinagar.After we all passenger made this point to the security at around 11.30am and asked him to summon the Air India official and let us know the exact position when the flight will take off from Srinagar to Leh ? we were surprised to learn from them that flight is cancelled.Since there is only one flight weekly to Leh from Srinagar.and no other air lines operate on that route we were shocked as our total arrangement in Leh ie our package trip was arranged and full payment was made to the tour operator. When we asked them what is alternative ,the officer in charge told us that they will be able to know only at 4pm if they can arrange alternative flight next day ,in spite of our asking for some alternative arrangement they said they cannot do anything. They told us that for economy class passenger they are not obliged to offer accommodation .but on persuasion they agreed to give accommodation in Hotel but were not willing to commit if they can arrange flight next day ,as there was no schedule flight on next day we were forced to travel by Road As I have completed my trip and return back to Chennai so I am approaching you for the compensation.
